Very easy third though, you can do some really good macro games on it But how is the balance between the top third and the bottom ones? they seem to have some kind of stuff there, but how does that work with unit LOS etc? | ||

Here's some thoughts on balance/gameplay issues:  on't make the destructible debris too high on hp since I think people will very rarely commit their forces to killing a rock in an island.*Air distance is waay too close. I would suggest moving the minerals to the other side of the mains overlooking the naturals. That way air harass will be easier to defend. *I would like to see the pathways get a little wider. Right now it looks like there is no real space for flanking which is bad for battles. | ||

Seriously? That's awesome. How the hell could we find/make a higher res texture tho? | ||

The major issue with this map imo are the watchtowers, they're way too close to the main!.. if you wanted for it to matter for gameplay in a way that you have vision over what's coming.. that'd be perfect. But the problem is, if an enemy has control over the watch towers you can't really do much other than drops / flying units. besides it looks like you can abuse them hard with tanks and set up a super strong contain as terran there, or even units like HTs and Infestors could abuse them to some extend... its just WAY too close to the main. Perhaps, you could put them somewhere INSIDE the main, this would give the map a unique functionality that we only see on that horrible map Kulas Ravine (to some extend). With a watchtower in your main, the tendency on your map would probably be more macro oriented as it'd be harder to do sneaky stuff, so i'd place it on a spot that gives the players options to make more interesting games, having blindspots and such, for drops for example, you could make a ramp inside your own base, that leads to the watch tower, and only that, to give you vision of an area arround your base but not covering the entrance or the back (for drops). The other thing that you could probably do, is widen the space in the middle gold expo, right now, that expo is basically only takable / defendable by terran with tanks, its positioned in a high risk zone and could make for an epic lategame where there is no more mining bases left and its a race to get it... but as it is... it looks like only tanks can secure it mid-lategame. That's just my noobie opinions, beautiful design and a map with lots of potential, keep up the great work! Edit: was just talking to Raelcun on vent about your map and he noticed something too, make sure those little peninsula thingys , the broken ramps to the gold exps space to the main base is shorter than a sieged tank range, cuz if it isnt ewww, same for blink stalkers, though it doesnt look it, i'd test for it just in case... | ||

Hell if you slightly modified it (maybe remove double mineral patches), it might even work as a 1v1 map. Though that ledge if it let's you siege main looks a tad nasty. | ||

As far as actual feedback, I feel that the watchtowers are a bit too easily accessible especially early on, which may lead to the high-yield bases being either impossible to hold, or impossible to assault, depending how the early game plays out. I feel that this would be alleviated if the watchtower ramps were blocked off by destructible blockers with at least 1000 HP. | ||
