Can the one who suggested the 2nd topic explain it a bit more? Kinda confusing.

I think it means that you must use more than just one (or two) pathway towards your opponent, to be short, no maps like Daybreak or Zerus Prime, or at least that's what i understood.

I'm interpreting as, routes that don't lead directly to places. Like not only attack paths but stuff like backdoors and paths to nowhere in particular? I guess?

The examples given by the submitter were: Backdoor to the Natural on Xel'Naga Caverns, Highground between main & Third on Scrap Station, Highground pod at the natural on Red City.
So basically what neobowman said.

This is rough for me because I'm always a doodad whore but I'm trying to be very conservative on this lol. I'm almost done...although I dunno if I did the non-linear stuff that well. Oh wells. Soon!

Alright bros, here's my submission. I know I still have a long time but meh, I'm finished now so why not submit it. Now I can just watch the rest of this Naniwa/Scarlett showmatch.

I did a play on words with the middle. They are separated by "rocks" There's actually a small pathway (lings/marines/zealots/workers) can scout through the middle before rocks get taken out. I added some random areas with high ground pods, low ground, etc etc so I'm hoping that's kinda working with the 2nd topic. (haha /shrug)

Not finished with the aesthetics side, but will publish it anyways:

3rd might be too open, thinking of putting another high ground pod near it.
Tower covers corner and mid expo's.
Tower blocks path, you can not pass besides it.

My map, Korhal Ravine.

Size: 134x140
Distance Main to Main: 62 seconds.

Sadly the overview doesn't look all that good tbh, so here are some other captions.

I wanted to make the destructible rocks on the third destroy itself after ~10 minutes, same with the collapsable rocks at the natural (~5 minutes for these) but i don't have the time :p

Uvantak that looks really good, loving the shape of the map. Although I don't think having timers on the rocks is necessary and I think having the collapsable rocks cover the whole back entrance would make it more significant.
