EPTTheme & Overview:
The map should display a formerly infested world. Abandoned from the Zerg the Protoss have started to restore the nature of the planet.
However, the upper half of the map has neither been been cleaned nor been explored yet, and so the map is cut into a Paradise (bottom) half and an Infested (upper) half.
Map size: 160*104

Summary:
Main & Natural:
+ Show Spoiler +
The intention here is to create a very easy to grab Natural expansion (easy to wall), while the main has a scrap station like ramp, and is therefore a little harder to defend (long rush distance!).
There is a highground path in the back of your main to give reapers, blink stalkers colossi and drops extra harass options.

Infested 3rd & 4th:
+ Show Spoiler +
The 10oc base is the easiest 3rd base. The defenders way between the 2nd and the 3rd base is shorter than the attackers.
the possible 4th in the infested half, however, is far away and on open field. It is intended that this base should be taken by players who have the more mobile, but maybe weaker army (e.g. Muta/ling - Zerg in ZvT), or that this base only comes into play, when there is some kind of stalemate situation (TvT tank lines).

Paradise Middle:
+ Show Spoiler +
The Paradise Middle offers the ability to expand in your opponents direction, but leaves your Main & Natural more open to counter attacks that come from the infested half.
Your reward for this risky move, is a mixed 6 blue/gold mineral base with (only) one rich vespene geyser. This base can be saturated with very few workers but still gives you nearly as much income as a "usual" fully saturated blue base. The blue minerals offer 1200, the gold 1680 and the rich vespene 2500 ressources.
Apart from the potential base, the middle is the main attack path and is therefore guarded by a XNWT on the high ground.

Infested Middle:
+ Show Spoiler +
The infested middle offers a 6gold/2vespene base. However, it is blocked by a Hive with its creep.
The hive offers Zerg players the option to hide structures, before they are at lair tech!
Due to its position and the 4entrances, I think it is really hard to hold, and therefore earns its gold status.

The Maps current version can be found on EU (Ressurection by Jay; the name Resurrection isn't available, though I didn't find another map called Resurrection).
summary of some of the maps specifics:
-) mixed gold/blue base
-) neutral zerg building with creep
-) harrass backdoor ("reaper highway")
-) double wide main ramp
-) long rush distance
-) easy low ground natural
Edit: Please, if a mod could edit the title, so that it doesn't include spelling mistakes. After writing the name an estimate of 100.000 times today, I have to write it wrong, the one time I cannot correct it

-) Main and Natural are now a little bigger. Natural has been completly resdesigned.
-) Infested Middle Base is now a regular Gold Base.
-) added Rocks to block some ramps in the middle area
-) Now using Tarsonis Dirt for the Ramps instead of Mar Sara Blackened Rock.
