[M] (2) Aiur City Islands

After the map has been hosted it's necessary to change from melee to miscellaneous in the map options menu on the right

ingame links (copy-paste in chat):
eu: battlenet:://starcraft/map/2/203968
na: battlenet:://starcraft/map/1/291671

Features:

Main and Natural are Island Bases at the start of the game.
Bases are connected via extendable bridges
Bridges retract and extend if there is any structure on the respective Island. Decals on the ground show which base is triggering which Bridge.
When a bridge retracts becouse all structures got killed or lift off the respective base all current units on that bridge get killed.
A Gold Base can be reached by breaking down the rocks or via a bridge but which has to be triggered from the cut off gold base.

Recent update:
Xel'Naga Tower triggers bridge to third base

Really fun map. I had the almost exact idea before (requiring a building to be built to extend a bridge) but in my idea it would only accept a town hall structure in the exact location (so the bridge either extends if you were expand there, or if the attacker wants to open the bridge he has to invest more than just a throwaway proxy pylon/depot). Maybe this is better though.

That gold base is pretty cheeky.

Thank you Fatam, nice to hear you like it.
Protoss will probably like the map the least, as they don't have any early option to get onto the gold base. Terran can fly over a CC and Zerg can morph a drop Overlord.
The coding was probably the hardest part of the map, especially if you want to avoid inefficent triggers that just trigger every 0.5 seconds to check conditions. I'm using regions and Unit Group variables.

Do the bridges appear as soon as the building starts being constructed? So could you start a pylon get a probe out and then cancel it?

yes, bridges appear as soon as any structure is build (constructed) on the respective base and disappears if there are no structures

Watched a GM 6000MMR TvZ for some feedback:

I'm, thinking about...

to let the watchtower trigger the natural and third base bridge
Add a second bridge to either the third or 4th base. Unfortunately there are only those tight bridges available.
Create a custom bridge that is wider

The Xel'Naga Tower now triggers the bridge to the third.
