Hello I'm RexTerran
I have revised this map as your advises.
It is added two ways toward Natural to 7 or 5 bases.
The locations of force field is changed.
The center has a rock to prevent early Ravager' attack.
The Natural Minerals and gases Locations was revised.

Thanks

There are still a few things I would change:

- there is no open path between players mainbases which means no scouting or early game. Is this map considered to be like this?

- I would remove the ramp to the third base as there is now the lowground path connecting it with the natural

You have to keep in mind if there's no ground access early game, there's also nothing to scout. No one's going to 12 pool, because they can't get to the other base for example.

That's really not true at all.

Longer rush distances means it's much harder to scout early game coinflips. This would be evidently a problem in TvP, a Terran player's reaper would never be able to scout a potential proxy anything, nor would a P be able to scout a really strong terran all-in, a proxy, etc.

Not being able to scout early means that the it's not just early aggression you'd have to be on the lookout for (proxy 3gate, proxy 3rax, etc), but also midgame aggression. A Zerg player could take a quick third and the only way a Terran could scout it would be a very quick 1-1-1 or 4;30 marine double drop.

yeah rock paper scissors with this kind of thing, greed beats standard, standard beats aggression/cheese, aggression/cheese beats greed.

i think this map could be pretty awesome by ditching the forcefield concept (and then making some adjustments so that there aren't too many entrances to the nat/main). There's lots of cool things going on with the terrain (and the texturing is great). But that's just my feeling

The forcefield thing could definitely work but I think here a protoss player could warp in right across them, a terran could lift raxes over them, lots of ways to put on very early aggression despite the paths being blocked (and in some matchups, no way to counter attack)

Not a 12 pool, but a 1/1/1
Proxy oracle
Ravager rush
DT
And other all ins that hit specific timings that are easy to defend when scouted early but otherwise impossible
