Hello people, I'm a space dog!

+ Show Spoiler [vanity shots] +

STATS
dimensions: 144x144
close main2main : 52s
close nat2nat: 38s
cross main2main: 66s
cross nat2nat: 50s

DESCRIPTION
A pretty standard 16 base rotational 4 player map. The tucked in base in each quadrant is a 6m1hyg. The horizontal and vertical spawns are slightly different due to the orientation of the central wall.

Feedback welcome!

Good map, approved.
Here is what stands out the most in my opinion :

Good :

Name of the map
Few ramps
Xel naga in the middle stuck between two cliffs (please tell me a zergling can't run around the xel naga tower)
exposed 3rd and 4th

Bad :

Vunerability of the main to blink stalkers
Shape of the 3rd
vertical spawn positions
no rocks (rocks are cool and add /possibilities/)
small nat2nat distance (needs more rocks)

Nice, I like it, standard. I like the middle, specially the watch tower part.
Why only 1 gas on the 3rd?

I love the visual resemblance to Korhal City, I always wanted to do a map with aesthetics in that vein, but never had the patience. I don't think the layout is likely to be balanced, but it's pretty cute nonetheless.

Good stuff. I am a big fan of broodwar maps, and you've kept some of the same things that worked well for those.
