Sweet that you use tarsonis! The crater in the middle kicks ass.One problem with tarsonis, however, is that texture colors are so similar, making it harder to get a good overlook, even if you use distinct texture combos on different heights.

1. Can you sneak a small unit up the huge backdoor ramp between main and towards gold? 3 entrances to main might be a bit too muh, although nat seems to be very easily protected.

2. Do you block air units on one end of the map only? That doesn't seem fair if the other mains can have air units i the far back while one main cant?

3. Perhaps save this for MoTM 4 if you haven't sent already.. next month is for 3 player maps

Unless you can submit the same map twixe .. I'm not sure.

4. What doodads are you using in between manmade and organic cliff-merges? It's a broken wall of sorts? Rubble wall only? Thanks.

5. The ghost units in the centre are set to neutral? Can you keep them there with melee settings intact for bnet?

6. Please post rush-distance in actual distance (squares, I supose). Those seconds doesn't tell a noobie (me) much.

Good luck!

@Meltage hehe. I agree on that it can be rather tricky playing around with the tarsonis texture set when trying to achive various variations trough-out the map, but I think I got it right.
And not onto your questions.

1. No small units can squeeze past the destructable objects laying around the map. And for regarding the 3 entrances to the main bases is due to I wanted the map to have a round flow. (and abit experimental.)

2. Yes, only the north-western part of the map is blocked off for air units to enter, but don't worry there's still plenty of space for move about. For why I did it? I wanted to equalize fly space for all 3 spawn points.

3. Hehe, who knows? Might try make a new 3player map after learning some of my mistakes. But we'll see.

4. The doodad is indeed the RubbleWall. No fun being able to see into the void.

5. The ghost units are only for the actual thread picture. There are no ghosts standing around ingame.

6. Added some distance analyzer images to the main post. Hope that'll explain better.
