This map is a little too big for a 1v1 in my opinion. I was going to comment on the rush distance since its a straight line, but the map is so huge I dont even know. Overall layout is pretty cool though. Maybe put rocks completely walling that ramp right out of the nat? And the mains look a lttle small, but there is plenty of room to expand their size. Also the placement of the minerals in the mains should adhere to a wall a little more
I love Mar Sara but those rocks around the border look too... manmade

You've made a couple maps that were bigger than that if I recall correctly, KingCorwin. The Nat-to-Nat distance is 41, which is roughly average for ladder maps. I think I agree about the border rocks along the right and left edges, so I'll remove them. I feel like most mains being made right now are too big. I think the main is big enough if there's room for 9 production facilities with add-ons, 2 engineering bays, and a 3rd under construction with room to spare for units to move around, turrets and supply depots. This main easily qualifies, but I'm going to expand it to the left slightly just to increase the rush distance from the main base to the main ramp.

the only map ive made thats actually bigger is a 2v2 map and its not bigger by much xD i still think you should increase the width of the mains just to be a little more fair towards Terrans. that airspace just wreaks of drop play especially if a person decides to take the horizontal base as a third. i mean there's also quit a bit of airspace between the other choice of third too, but maybe just enough for an overlord really.

as for the rocks, dont need to delete them, just litter the map with them so it looks more organic!
