Just a little idea: My first thought on the map was that the main felt too safe/inaccessible.

3 ideas:
1) Widen the choke from the natural to the main, making it a little easier to scout/harass.

2) Destructable rocks from the main to the 2nd natural.

3) I was looking at the "bridge to nowhere" on the top main, and thought it would be sweet if that bridge extended out to the back of the gold expo with destructable rocks on the gold side.

Oh! Dynamic maps... is this possible? Can the bridge & rocks "materialize" at an arbitrary time ...10:00-15 min in game time? (Visions of the bridge flying together like a watchtower with Zel'Naga magic)

Something like that would add a new twist to typical maps.

Anyways, cool map redesign.

Seems to me that you still have the same problem of 3 bases being far too easy to defend... Much like the original

Why is having 3 easily defendable bases inherently bad? I've never played on that sort of map in SC2 (neither has anyone posting here really) and one can only theorycraft so much. I know SC1 has a laundry list of maps with 3 easily defendable bases, and by and large they are not any more imba than any other maps.
... Still like Brood War better... lol

I think the distance from Main to Natural is too far. Can you Siege someone's 3rd from the Gold?
When you are prepared, there's no such thing as pressure.

The map has been updated to version 3. The mains, nats and ramps leading from the gold to the middle weren't symmetrical so they have been modified. Also, some terrain behind the 3rd and gold expos was removed so that siege tanks cannot attack the minerals and gas of the other expo. Finally, the middle area's sight blockers have been moved closer to the 3rd expo ramps.

There are still a lot of positional imbalances that need to be fixed. The original map wasn't perfectly symmetrical so I will have to modify some other things as well.
