Update: 02.28.2011
This is an old map that I reworked. I think it's a pretty map even though it isn't the most interesting. I realize that it looks similar to Xel' Naga Cavers, but I swear it's a coincidence!

looks can be deceiving
142.9 is about the same as xnc (143.6), which is a good distance for a 1v1 map imho
i like the use of the cliff model to create the beautiful unique center party.
maybe a little too many rocks and los blockers
overall a very solid map! is this on eu?

Too small!? Maybe, it's just right!

Yeah, it isn't the most original design. It ended up being suspiciously similar to Xel' Naga Cavers, but I didn't realize that until after it was finished. Maybe I should call it Xel' Naga Jungle.

No, it's only on the NA server. Sorry.

Thanks for the compliment. I'll have to test it more before I make a decision on the sight blockers and destructible rocks. Now that they're on my radar, I'll be sure to find out.

The short distance is like Steppes of War
The natural expansion orientation is like Xel-Naga Caverns
The two-sided entrance that goes straight into the natural is like Kulas Ravine
The positioning of the second expansions is similar to Blistering Sands

An interesting mix (:

The name makes me think its a city/town in the game magicka

Or something the chef from the muppets would cook

Anyway, its small indeed, or it looks like that. The gold area im not sure about , its huge compared to everything else...

I guess that makes me a big fat copy cat.

I don't know magicka, but if it uses name like Shmorgishborg, I'm all for it.

I know the gold areas are big, but it doesn't seem to affect the game too much. Until a glaring problem reveals itself, I'll keep it as it is.

I think the Layout Looks really good, though a Bit Wide ( many pathes to Control)
Maybe you want to scale the Gold down to the Point where it is Not reachable by siegetanks Sitzung at the two Central expansions. Then you could also Shrink the boundaries.

Rushdistance is Fine

The individuell Parts of the Map Flow into Each other really well! I like it.
Talking about jealousy....

Is it online somewhere?

A good map but very small map... by the looks of it but well with some work it will be awesome!!! Great Job keep it up!! :D
With an average game length of 7m36s over his 6 games in GSL3, this is a no-brainer. BitByBit pulls more SCVs than yo momma at a club on Mar Sara. ♞

Thanks! I think this map is the same size as Xel' Naga Caverns. Everyone seems to be OK with its size so I think I'll leave this map alone. At least, I'll leave it alone until the size proves to be a problem. Right now, I haven't tested it at all so I can't say.

I appreciate the feedback. A lot of my maps have been improved thanks to suggestions like these.

Thanks! Like I said to Samro225am, I'll keep the size as it is until testing proves it's a problem. I'll definitely be on the look out though.
