Introduction:
After TLMC, i got feedback that i had to improve in terms of aesthetics. Here's my try at it. I wanted to make a map that's like the jungles of Borneo, very muddy and lots of foliage with rich brown and green colors, as an alternative to the usually Bel'Shir jungle. I really like how the textures look together, and i think i learnt a lot on how to use textures better in the process.
I think i have to give it a better name though, it just doesn't look like a marsh at all.

Nice layout, I really like the way the bases flow, I'd like to see how late games play on it.

The 4ths (2 & 10) design is really interesting too.

Textures look bad in the overview but look so so so good in the detail shots.

looks great.

to criticize, i feel the progression from 3-4-5-6 looks a bit too easy and straightforward. if anything i feel like the 4th could use a bit more distance from the 3rd and another path to it, maybe a ramp here.

You call this layout boring and straight-forward? Hrmm. :S
Even if the path from third to sixth is like continuing on a set course, there are different paths and defending it would surely not be so simple as just going back along the same path. That would be a long way to travel all the time, I think.
I agree that ramps (maybe with rocks of some sort, but not necessarily) where a176 highlighted would be ideal (in my opinion).

I really like this map. It'd be awesome to see someone pick it up and use it :o
