Its actually a lot better ingame because there are a lot of moving/particles all over the map and it really feels to be underwater

I'm pretty sure they don't and that it's due to the angle in the overview.

Really nice map, liked watching it develop :D

Afaik this was done without the symmetry tool, so I guess there has to be slight differences (;

No, I'm pretty sure they all have minor differences around the double ramp, and just after the wall off spot.

Maybe they do, but I'm pretty sure all the important sizes/shapes are the same.

Really really (really) pretty. Those aesthetics are OP.

I think there's a limit to how strategically interesting you can make 3p maps but this one does an ok job of that w/ the optional thirds. I think there might be too much airspace even w/ the air blockers, maybe move them in some?

I really dislike how unimportant the middle of the map is. There is no reason at all to ever walk through the middle of the map. Terran are always going to parade push the edge of the map most likely into the protoss/zerg natural. Protoss will most likely always deathball attack through the edge of the map because it's more choked off/ramps. Zerg miiiiight go through the middle but they'll probably be so heavily trying to defend the edges that besides the random zergling run bys through the middle to get to the other edge.

Aesthetics are awesome. I never understood why nobody else did an underwater map after Abyssal City. AC is probably my favorite map ever aesethetically so your map is already pretty high in my book. My only concern is you say how it looks better ingame due to more ingame moving particles and that could be rough for the players with not as great computers so if this map ever got considered for ladder, I'd expect some fairly big graphic changes.

Good job!

I like it, but it would be cool to see a Fighting Spirit like rich base in the center... would be hard to implement though.

I really like the rocks on this map, they matter and are interesting in a way that is rarely achieved so well, and their remaining/absence affects all phases of the game.

this is like a 3 player version of cactus valley. very nice thirds and alternatives. standard maps like these always get my vote.

A lot of these corresponding distances look a little asymmetrical. I know it's a 3p, but unlike ramp angles, these distances are things you can actually fix.

IMHO, the maps is extremely beautiful, will it be fun to play on it though?

Like Sidian, I m not a big fan of the center (maybe just remove the destructible rocks?) and the 5 th bases (the platform ones) have plenty of wierd things about them : they 're far away from the opponent (better when 5th base forces you to go toward your opponent), they seem too easy to defend but above all their asymetry can be a problem.

Like, if your on the 10 o'clock position, the 5th is easy and smooth with the ramp oriented toward your main. If you're on 6 o'clock, it's not. Imho 10 oclock vs 6 oclock will be OP.

If the ramp can't be reoriented, merge the 4th and 5th, 12 bases are enough on a 2 players map anyway and it might allow you to improve the map big time...

Almost every 3p map on this forum/the ladder dating back years has been more asymmetrical than is necessary. There's even a tutorial to help you a bit on this forum, although I imagine the problem is people just aren't careful enough, not that they don't have the knowledge.

To be fair to all the 3p maps: I doubt it matters too much. I'd be surprised if it ever decided the outcome of a game.. but you might as well make it as symmetrical as possible so that people can't cry imba.

The middle is in play as soon as there's a 3rd base, from what I can tell going over different scenarios in my head. It won't always be used early on but quickly becomes important for flanking and saving time on attack / cut-in maneuvers.

This is making my head spin with ideas I want to make an arcade map with this terrain AMAZING!
Can you get me some close up of the lower cliffs plz. I will love to have the map on my editor but that will be asking the impossible. Please some lower screenshots.
