Those peaks in cranky cavern look sweet! Been wanting to do something similar to that on a map of mine.

Cranky cave indeed looks good but it might be hard to hold an early nat (so far away from main ramp).

Wait, you made Shrinkage? I remember when that was on the popular list (is it still?). It was fun, but after a while, I got sick of doing the same thing and losing more often than not lol.

Cranky Cave is very similar to Steppes of War, and doesn't really improve upon its design. Steppes of War had difficult expansions to hold and a fast rush distance. This map has both of those negative features. If you remember, Steppes of War got the lowest grade out of all of the current ladder maps that the MotM organization graded.

To improve upon Cranky Cave, I'd suggest raising the third's up an elevation level to connect them to the natural and adding DRs to the ramp that would lead to the third from the middle. This would improve upon the idea of having easier to take expansions on a map with quick rush distances.

Check your thread for Space City, I already gave some feedback there for that map.

Dude your names for your maps are hilarious. Pretty Time Jungle? LOL

Fuckin awesome maps by the way. I'd say most of these are 75% better than most of the maps I've seen floating around here.

You've got a knack for making these maps man. And you don't even play 1v1's? Wow kudos to you good sir.

Hey I have one issue with cranky cave. The ramps that lead to third and nat should be roomed just make it a choke.. Terran siege and toss force filed really looks abusable. I feel Zerg can't break through with few harass mention possibilities, only one ramp to third an nat. Maybe a rock for a back door to third?
