Hey TL its me again, dropping another map for the strategists here to pick apart and tell me what they like and what could improve the map. Thanks for your input on "Soulfire" yesterday, and because of your feedback, it really has a chance of being on its way to the competitive/blizzard circuit with its balance changes

Nuff said. Here we go. (click the pic links for high res)

The idea was to have a "hopper" map, with the strategy and chokes, but not to go overboard, thus I widened the bridges extensively where you could almost fit a command center in the middle of them. Even though pathing in sc2 is better, noone likes turning their army into a marching line. Let me know what you think about the style, and actual base placement. Thanks again.

This was set in the theme of the sc2 terran campaign, located in an asteroid belt outside Mar Sara.

edit: oh its a 4 player map.

i suppose they are a bit, i think because of that it wouldn't be a great 1v1 map.

Where is a larger resolution of the whole map? I'm having trouble making everything out So to avoid confusion I can't really comment.

Well the only thing i can say to help is the middle top/top right are on higher terrain than the natural they sit next to (and opposite team). Otherwise the entire rest of the map sits on the same plane.
