TLMC 6 entry. I saw Scorp's Rao Mesa and I really liked the main-nat-third layout for a map with the mains close to one another but the thirds far away. I thought I'd do a 45d mirror map and channel Alien and Deus Ex while I'm at it. Homage to Day[9] accidental but happily so. Tried to play it safe beyond that three base layout and let the map dictate its own shape. I don't really see the island base being of much significance but so then much more interesting the games that do involve it. The name's cuz I liked how it sounded. The map could use a little more polish. Not sure if it works yet. Love to know your thoughts.

Island:

v0.2:
-- Minor aesthetics tweaks
-- Pathing fixes

v0.3
-- Less saturated lighting scheme
-- Minor texturing clean-ups

v1.0
- Fixed untakable gas on eastern proxy_gold base
- Added destructible plates beneath main ramps
- Fixed a particularly abusive bunker rush position
- Improved symmetry of doodads and pathing
- Much-needed texture polishing
- Yet more lighting tweaks

v1.2
-- removed destructible cooling tower from natural
-- narrowed backdoor nat entrance
-- narrowed bridge into natural, blocked it with rocks
-- widened bridge into the third/nat area
-- repositioned and -orientated highground 4th bases
-- Widened ramp into high ground fourth from mid map
-- narrowed ramps into distal gold
-- tweaked low-ground 4th/5th base resource layout
-- moved distal gold tad further away from the ramps
-- capitalized on some ways to better accommodate Protoss proxies
-- north eastern watchtower now accessible to reapers via overhanging high ground
-- bisected long center-most ramps, removed rocks
-- more pathing fixes, tweaks and optimizations.
-- cleaner doodad usage, added doodads to certain unpathable zones.
-- cleaned up after symmetry tool

v1.3
-- opened the center back up again
-- replaced doodads bottlenecking backdoor nat entrances with 2x2 destructible debris
-- moved 4th bases further away from 3rds, closer to SW XNT
-- liberated some space in the mains
-- tweaked mineral lines
-- new white floor texture
-- aesthetic polishing
-- lighting adjustments
-- better symmetry and pathing
