Details:
Map Size: 128 x 128
Terrain: Jungle
Players: 4

Concept:
- A small-main 4 player map that will feature lots of outer battles, possibly similar to Outsider but more frequent
- Similar to Return of the King, but mineral-only nat is on high ground, making contains less deadly and easy to defend

Features:
- Small main
- All gas nats are around the outside of the map
- Destroyable Psi Disruptors that can open up another route to high ground in middle of map
- 15 stacked Psi Disruptors that can be destroyed that mine from another geyser at the corner expansions
- 1000 gas at your side of the mineral wall, 3000 on the other side
- Almost the entire center of map (high ground) is unbuildable
- 8 stacked minerals (shown as 4 on picture) at mineral-only expansion
- Main can be wallable from outside with just 1 rax (but unable to mine from mineral-only expo)

Resources:
Main - 8M1G (1500 minerals, 5000 gas)
Mineral-only nat - 8M (749 minerals)(4 patches stacked twice)
Mineral-wall expos - 8M2G (749 minerals, 1 patch worth 499)(geyser closer to main worth 1000 gas, geyser on opposite side worth 3000 gas)
Corner expos - 9M2G (1500 minerals, 3000 gas)(15 stacked Psi Disruptors must be destroyed to mine from one of the geysers)

Maker's woes:
- Finding it a problem for rallying lots of units to center of map from the outside. Widening main-to-outside ramp may screw up balance.
- Main is a bit too small
