I noticed the Xel Naga Towers were slightly asymmetrical. Despite the pictures, it has been fixed.

Playable: 132x132
Pulished: Am

Recently I was struggling with working on my other active maps. The tweaking required to make them viable was beyond my motivation. As bad as it is to start three maps before finishing any, I decided to put the ideas on hold.and work on something more traditional. So, here is my more standard two player map.

The idea here was to work on something standard and tighten up a simple map. That didn't entirely stop me from putting a couple twists throughout the map.

Concerns/ideas:

- Too open?
- 4 o' clock/ 10 o' clock bases could be gold?

Give me your honest opinion, and when I say honest, I mean compare this map to professional quality maps. I don't want to get a false sense of my skill level. That said, constructive critisism please. Point out what's wrong, don't simply flame.

Thanks so much guys.

Just realised I forgot the [M] before the thread title. Is there a specific mod to pm for that?

That was my intention.

While this map is standard, there is definitely nothing wrong with that. This is a great execution of a standard map but it also has it's unique aspects that make it interesting.

Nice job. The thing to do now is work on aesthetics, but know that you have a solid map structure to build off of.

Also, I would say leave the 4/10 bases as blue they're not so indefensible that they should be golds, even if they are the split bases. If you made them gold, then I think it would just give whoever is already ahead an advantage.

0.2 A
Changelog:

-Improved Aesthetics
I did a little bit of work with the aesthetics, adding some better textures, doodads as well as lighting. I'm still not done in this area but I think it looks a lot better already.

-Moved Xel Naga Towers.

I moved the Xel Naga towers for two reasons:
1. They look a little bit less awkward in their current positions.
2. There used to be a small path around the center that was not covered by the Xel Naga towers, this is no longer the case.
