changed the location of the middle expos onto the highground areas to make them more accessible
huge update on the graphics
no fly zones added where doodads where too high
cant build on the bridges now because it just looks stupid with a creep tumor on it

Xel'naga Outpost's mains need non-cardinal oriented ramps for walling in to work correctly.

Luna's Heritage is your best map in my opinion, nice job.

Deceiving Heaven looks interesting with the nice aesthetics, but the two different colored waters might be a little too flashy. If I were you, I'd modify the green water's brightness/reflectivity/something so that it doesn't stand out as much as it does at the moment and blends in with the terrain on the map better.

The ramps on Xel'Naga are already changed I just was too lazy uploading new images.

And I see your problem with the water on Deceiving Haven, I've fooled around with the water modifications a lot but it was very displeasing as it never looked the way I wanted it too.
But I will work on that nevertheless.

Proper lightning and coloring are probably the most difficult things to pull off I found, because you just have to be lucky to make it look good.

Addad a new map, Adrenaline Rush, sounds like that name is given to an other map but I'll go with it for now.
It's was inspired layoutwise by Stepps of War including the gameplay the middle on Xel'Naga Caverns provides.

Also removed Mesuris B from map list.

And another update to the Mappool. Added map Riot which will get an update with more cosmetic changes soon.
Inspired by BW-map Benzene, I like the layout very much and think it's pretty fitting to sc2 gameplay dynamics although I wanted to add more cliff mechanics but it turned out to be too gimmicky so I left it.

So I finished Riot now. A fourth base is now more easily accessible at the center highground. I did a lot of graphics work to make it look as sweet as possible.
Also on a sidenote I added No Flyer Zones where Doodads where too high. Those things make air units act very buggy but I hope I fixed it all.
Also you cant build on the bridges now because it just looks stupid with a creep tumor on it but creep does spread "underneath" the bridge though, so you can extend creep over the bridges.

It's your turn play that damn map !

Huge update incoming!
Added two new maps Flux Pavilion(in motm competition) and Final Whistle. Also updated most maps with analyzer pictures (summary and distances) to allow people to get a better glimpse on rushing distances and map size.
