Main Choke to Main Choke: 150
Natural Choke to Natural Choke: 120
Closest Natural to Natural ramp: 91


Size: 156x156
Tileset: Shakuras + Xel'Naga Cavern
Spawn Positions: 2, 7
Base Count: 14
Servers: NA, SEA, EU

Features/Explanation/Whatever: I really liked the layout of Fern Valley, it felt like a good non-aggressive 2p map, and I really wanted to work on that. I feel like I nailed it pretty well, except for the 4 corner bases - that I might change to be 1 big base instead, not.. too sure. I like the middle bridge, but I might make it two bridges, it's a liiiittle too choked for my taste. But the middle of the map is very open, big and spacious. It's got bases for zergs, it's not too easy for mech to grab fourths, lots of space for the protoss amove. I feel like this is a good map. Would love to see games on it.

Starbow right?
I like this one, I like the title set, the textures, the general feel..
Im not a fan of some of the shapes tho (Ex: the double ramp expos/shapes)
But I definitely see improvement on making your own layouts

Huh, thought I put (SB) in the title, oops. Yes, it's Starbow.

And I'll make a 60 degree overview if that'll help.

putting lots of designs like that on the same level cliff can make it hard to read.

Looks interesting though

Added "artsy" and analyzer with rush distances.

Combined the corner bases into one big base, still keeping the lurker ramps so it's an okay base for zerg.

I think analyzer's been pretty broken since 3.0.

It also doesn't take painted pathing into account, I had to photoshop alot of the map away.
