New sketch
I've been seeing map layouts in paintings. Kinda weird. Looked cooler in my head. Has obvious imbalances like the main and 3rd, but you get the basic idea.

New sketch: The upper and lower areas of the map have... unappealing choke points. Specifically, it looks pretty easy to secure the high ground above the third as the attacker, at which point you completely cut off the defender from ever taking a fourth base, and the 1-width ramp into the center makes me want to go through two other choke points instead in order to get to the center.

Agreed with Templar. The small middle ramps aren't a very good idea and the high ground is, while a neat concept, just too strong. I think the best balance would be shuffling the 12/6 and 11/5 o'clock bases counterclockwise to allow for that high ground triangle to be a more prevalent section further from the third would be the best idea. Towers on it, perhaps?

Also, am I the only one that sees this as a 1v1 iced-over version of Scorched Haven?

Guys, I just checked the bounds of my old WIP, and its 177x177. Is that just to big? Do I have to redo the whole map?
Or am I good?

It's manageable since it's a 4 player map, assuming near spawns are allowed.

That mid seriously needs to be reworked though, it needs to be larger. Look at Frost.

177x177 and 20 bases is definitely quite large, even for a 4p map. Some people are ok with 20 bases but I personally dislike anything over 16 for a 4p map - your layout does seem kind of turtly.

Also why 177x177, how is that symmetrical?

Made this almost a year ago. Just thought I'd show it. Not very balanced. 160x160

could give a bit of the natural to the main if you relocate main to nat ramp, bit choky along middle axis.

bit late in to the WiP to post this but just want some feedback on this.

Is it just me or is the horizontal 4th very close to the 3rd? Maybe not to close, since its very open and low ground. Anyways, looks pretty. Good choice of 3rd bases.

You're not able to warp in from the ground outside the inbase natural into the natural, are you?

Not liking how 5 bases in the bottom left/center are only connected to the rest of the map by those two ramps. I would probably remove the one in the very corner and/or make a backdoor from the natural into those areas.

Why is it hopefully your last post for some time?

It may just be me, but those third/fourth bases look too close together to be secured separately. Yeah, the fourth is more vulnerable, but are there any attack paths that go through the third and not the fourth, assuming you expand in a counter-clockwise direction?

All of the main bases look too small.

Yeah they are a bit to close. Will make the Mains a bit bigger as well. The map itself looks kinda familiar. Hopefully I'm not making a clone.

I liked the bigger versions more. The positional balance looks reasonable, I would mainly tighten up the main choke a bit.

It's cross spawns, so no positional imbalance at all. Are the main bases not on high ground?
