Sand for lowground, dirt for midground, rock for highground, bricks for little highground wall bits. Or something like that. I will hold my feedback hostage until you pay ransom of new map pic. XD Ask and ye shall receive. ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/8lIDiXs.jpg) | ||

This is a 4 player map, bottom left vs bottom right or top left vs top right. I want to remove 2 bases, which two? Preferably not the small gold bases but I will if I have to. ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/cNqTZht.jpg) Also anything else? | ||

I assume you mean like a 3rd option or an in-base expo, since as a 4th or more I think it would not really matter much, and if you include something special like that it should have a big influence on how the map is played, at least at the start before it becomes somewhat a normal feature. Based on my previous ideas, I feel like a map with a FF blocking a base should be pretty open, to compensate Zerg players for the blocked base which will only be possible to take after reaching Ultralisk tech, which is very late in the game. Something like having the standard 3rd of Derelict Watcher blocked by a FF could be very interesting. An attempt: ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/XabBWkf.jpg) | ||

Then you'd generally use features that are favorable to zerg players. I would say it should be an "in-natural" expo, and have that base be siegeable to give Terran players an opportunity to deny the easier base for Toss. Something like this: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=396037 Only with a full 3rd? Also it was a pretty decent map, had quite a few fun games on it  | ||

Also it was a pretty decent map, had quite a few fun games on it After playing multiple games on that map, I can't really say I was a fan. The half bases had a philosophy of "easy to acquire, disadvantageous to defend" (as opposed to the traditional concept of "hard to acquire, reasonable to defend" for bases beyond the nat) where their reduced resource amounts made it almost not worth it, and the bases immediately north/south suffered from the common "just have more stuff than your opponent" syndrome that permeates so many SC2 maps. Also, it took forever to reach your opponent which was incredibly awkward. Could have easily knocked out the two mid bases and shrunk down the ridiculous height dimension. It looked damn cool, though. | ||

So many awesome maps never used in tournaments :/ | ||

The first thing that jumps into my vision is the huge exposed perimeter in the mains that can be used for blink all ins, i would reduce that quite a bit, second is the lack of overlord pods around the natural where zerg can park his overlords and not have to guess what is his opponent doing, third would be these rocks that block the way to your third, i would remove those rocks or reduce their HP and armor quite a bit (~1000 hp and ~2 armor), fourth are those 3x ramps leading into the third i would block a part of those with a set of "normal" destructible rocks or move those ramps closer to the "mouth of the natural" so they can be defended more easily while enlarging the 1x ones and moving them forward a bit and to finish i would add a overlord pod + Show Spoiler [here] + ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/1jRCsWv.jpg) That's my feedback ^^ | ||

And that chessboard map that used all the multicolor boxes to make pixelated shapes. | ||
