It isn't a safe FFE and the reason that maps that use nexus to wall FFEs never result in good PvZs (i.e. dual sight). Especially when there are really strong aggressive options floating around the meta at the moment like Leenock's speedling all-in and tons of different baneling variations. There needs to be the ability for a full wall (and this one barely walls from ramp to nexus with 3 buildings. | ||

![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/V55cUMJ.jpg) Sort of a 2v2v2v2 map. There are 2 main styles you can play on the map - you can take the middle gold bases and the watchtower, and hold the center, or you can expand along the edges, and sort of ring around the map. Either one should work well enough, mostly because the map is 200x200. It might also work as a 4v4 map, sorta like Atlas Station, that's still up in the air. | ||

Is the bottom half meant to be one hex to the right (shakuras-style)? | ||

How is it looking game play wise? I opened up the middle so there is a faster flank to protect your fifth. The middle will have a metal gate that closes and opens within certain time intervals. Any more gameplay suggestions? ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/KWfv5fv.jpg) | ||

![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/0RVwRml.jpg) i made the forward natural a little easier to defend and made the map a little smaller. distances are: 73 seconds for cross spawn. 69 for horizontal. (note, these are from town hall to town hall.) EDIT: oh, i should mention, for those who didn't see my first post, that vertical spawns are disabled. | ||

A lot of wasted space and weird ramps. | ||

you'd pretty much have to remake the map actually whats wrong with having lots of vertical/horizontal ramps. hard to wall and they often look awkward. | ||

![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/61VwnV0.jpg) Comments on the layout? Was hoping to make something viable for aggression, but was rewarding if you could hold on until the later game, while opening up in the very late stages again. | ||
