Why are there only seven mineral patches at the blue third?

bunch of replays:
ZvZ - me vs Toastie: http://drop.sc/388711
TvP - me vs Toastie: http://drop.sc/388712
--> the ones you observed anyways

TvZ - me going Turtlemech: http://drop.sc/388713
Edit: Toastie's hardware was not working properly.

So after playing the map a bit here are a few thoughts:
- one geyser at the natural is off
- Attacking into a 3rd base is very hard. It's very simple to sit above those rocks and make it hard to even break them, and once they are broken down, both offensive ramps are very small. I think at least the 2x should be made 3x.
- The watchtower is a little unnecessary, since the attack path is overlooked quite easily anyways
- I think if you could broaden up the middle where the XNWT is right now it could counteract the power of forcefields and mech somewhat. In particular when it comes to units like ultralisks I think this could be very problematic.

What I really love about the map is the expansion pattern and the powerful highground positions

Very cool map. Great job.

I still think this is an incredible map. Probably top 3 favourite this year.

Certainly one of the most refreshing and well planned layouts in a while. The geometry is beautiful. Everything just fits together so perfectly, like the collapsible rock placement, the airspace around the main, the small gap between the gold base and the other fortress, the subdivided middle pathway. Ugh. For me, this is the most pleasantly flowing map since Neo Planet S.

Isolating all bases after your natural was brilliant in both idea and execution as well.

This is very cool, only one question, how do you add that fog that looks so cool on the edges of the map?

Just wanted to give you a glimpse of what's coming next , probably in the last days of January. The update will address the main weakness of the map , which is the narrow center , plus an aesthetics overhaul.
Neo Emerald Plaza is coming guys!
