Interesting middle, I like it. The 3rd seems a bit easy, although it shouldn't be a big issue. The 4th however seems super easy. It seems like the 5th and 6th would be really hard to take, but perhaps not. Will be interesting to see how turtly the map really is.

I like the 12 and 6 o'clock portions of the map. Rush distance is super long, and the natural is quite open, so it'll favor Zerg that way. I like the idea of a strong forward base to potentially counterbalance any Zerg favoritism, but I think the center golds might be too little too late in that regard.

I think you could make quite a good map if you stuck more to regular proportions, but this has a charm of its own, it reminds me of those old-school Wings of Liberty maps we made.

@moskonia : that's what I tought too. I could just move the rock to the fourth. This would open the small path for some potential early game harass on the third while preventing any attempt to take the fourth too fast because you would have to break the rocks to lend the hatch/cc/nexus.

NewSunshine : I would use regular proportions if I knew what they were ^^.
I dont think that the natural is too open, you can wall it with 2 depots and two racks. I didn't try any FFE on the map but it shouldn't be harder to wall as protoss than on Akilon wastes.

The gold is just here to make the center of the map more appealing. Eventhough a gold doesn't always make a huge difference in the late game, everybody always wants to control it :p

I like this map a lot, the layout is fun with plenty of bases around the sides of the map. Expansions seem to flow very naturally. Especially the 5th and gold bases.

It seems a fun two player map.
