Ohhh man the bounce distance for the attacker vs the bounce distance for the defender between the standard natural and the backdoor natural would be abusive. Makes it a real choice - if those are your first three bases you really run the risk of being pulled apart, but if those aren't your first three bases then you have to defend quite a few chokepoints. I'm not sure if it would work but if it does then it'd be AWESOME.

Yeah, I think the way to play standard would be to take the backdoor, wall the small ramp and just watch the back door rocks. The defender can use that tower to drop a second barrier down when the rocks get low or taken out. Once you take the third I think you would want to be able to move through that path anyway, at least after you had established a decent army.

The map is known as "Night Tremors" on NA due to the name not being available.

I really like the idea behind this, hopefully the backdoor distance isn't an issue. The one other problem I see is that the pathing is extremely restricted until the rocks at the nat go down.

The choice of textures is outstanding, very unique/creative theme.

I have some concern for ZvZ creep spread being too hard in the first 3 bases, but I'm not comfortable enough to say for sure.

The backdoor for the in-base natural is positioned poorly. It is much easier for the attacker to switch where he attacks than it is for the defender to switch to defend. It's even easier for a drop to switch between the in-base natural and the main than it is to defend, since you'll have to go back up the ramp.

The central choke with the rocks seems a little forced. The side paths are only marginally shorter in distance. I think if you want that choke to see more use once the rocks go down, you should push the ramps to the high ground away from the center so that the alternate path is longer. This puts more risk vs. reward into the decision on how you want to move your army about: take the fast, risky path, or the longer, safer one? Right now it's take the fast, risky path, or the slightly-longer, much-safer path.

Since the natural seems difficult to defend, I'd consider making the third a little easier to expand to and hold on to. I'd remove the backdoor into the third entirely. This also makes the other two expansions more safe against harassment if you flip the map around since you won't have to worry about units using the backdoor as an attack route.

Map is really interesting. The backdoor complaint might be valid but still a cool map.
