SWEET HIGH VALLEY 1.1 -- 1v1

Battle in an idyllic mountain valley with pink water lakes...

Creation Details:
- First map I've ever created after being inspired watching the ICCup Map of the Month stream
- General gist was to created a map with multiple attack path possibilities, so there are 6 pathways through the middle separated by lakes

Change log:
- Version 1.0 - original
- Version 1.1 - pathing layer added (many thanks to smashhammer)

The layout seems to be pretty good. One problem i see is that you haven't removed pathing around the edges where you raised the ground. If you go to the pathing layer you can paint no-pathing over every area you don't want units to go. the map analyzer is also a helpful tool to use to spot places you have left with pathing.

The map layout looks really good and there are many expansions for each player to take.
i like how you haven't put the ramps really close together and that the ramp (leading to two expansions) will possible encourage baneling or speedling run bys.

cool map
