Thanks a lot for the input everyone! I see you're using pathing blocker doodads~ In the editor, if you press the H key it will bring you to the pathing layer. From there, you can block ground units and buildings with 1x1 box precision. I have absolutely no idea how the pathing blocker doodads work, and thus I don't trust them when i have the pathing layer option  Also, data > export map image spits out much prettier and clear images than a screenshot can, as long as you have the patience to convert .tga to .jpeg with photoshop or something (just save the file as jpeg) As the middle area is really the only way to get around the map other than the tiny choke rocks, I recommend using the pathing layer to make the area unbuildable, making a checkerboard of buildable and non-buildable squares so that zerg can still spread creep properly, but terrans can't cover the area in turrets and set up an unbreakable wall in the most important area of the map The only big issue I've found with this is that you can't deploy an auto turret there either... Here's a screenshot from my port of Fighting Spirit to show you what I mean ![[image loading]](http://img413.imageshack.us/img413/2107/sc2editor20100609220632.jpg) | ||

I would make the 3rd base's ramp to the main much wider and rethink the watchtower placement. On the high ground there should be two towers not one - put the second one back - and in the center of the map you should rethink those entirely. Maybe put them on flat ground with some foliage all around them. I like how the naturals chokes are much wider - this balances making the 3rd expo in-base. Another thing about the 3rd expo, I'd remove the watchtowers there because in-base watchtowers really prevent drops and nydus worms which would be like the only way to harass that base. Good job though, I like this map better than Blizzard's Kulas Ravine. Vote YES people! | ||

I dont like an inbase expo, just silly. I also liked the harder to secure fast expo vs the easier to secure slower expo due to rocks, it gave the map some character that was differnt from the other maps. I think you took a challenging unique map and turned it into a safe boaring map. But thats just my opinion. | ||

The natural is much harder to defend now, and the in-base 3rd expo will influence harassment options such as Thorship, doom-drops, nydus worms, etc. I still believe that the ramp between the main and 3rd expo should be wider, just in the off chance that a player can break their enemy's choke. | ||
