Creation Details:
+ Show Spoiler +
I will fill this in soon with relevant information and anecdotes of the creative process on this map.

Basic Info: This is a rotationally symmetric map with no ramps. Other features have been blended to simulate ramps (at the main chokes) and the effects of elevation. This is also a twenty base map, and while I was trying to make something that was not very fortress-y, there are probably very few games that are going to need to venture into another "fortress" for another base. Also, all of the main "should do's" are possible, as I have endeavored to make sure those things are covered in each map (despite the innovative mechanics). Terran can 2-supply/1-rax wall, Toss can FFE and block the main choke with a single force field, zerg can connect main to nat with two tumors, etc.

So reapers are useless PVP will be a mess and Collosus can barely move around without getting carried in a warp prism. I really can't this concept working out.
The basic key to beating a priest is playing a deck that is terrible.

@iGrok -- Game view on. (as you can see, I'm still considering my aesthetical options -- layout first)

@Sumadin -- Reapers, ya I guess, I hope that doesn't change your army composition too much (although one could be used to pick at some rocks somewhere). Collosus, meh, they are generally in the middle of a ball of Stalker/Zealot anyway so for moving about the map that is no problem. Getting out of the base should be okay, too if you build your walls properly. And if not and you do not want to destroy a gateway or pylon or something, there's always backdoor rocks (or other rocks).

PvP -- now this is the interesting one, how do you forsee 4gate working if your probe still can't make it into the base? Plyon radius does not make it all the way to the other side of the choke and the choke is not buildable because of the LOSB's. The only thing that I can see that is maybe slightly different is that units could be warped in past the forcefield if you managed to get vision, but the space to do so is very limited especially if you built a toss "wall" at the choke. Buildings at the choke also might be able to be picked at a little bit but in general the distance there is pretty good defensively. I've played around with this a bit and the defender should still have a decent advantage at the choke despite the lack of a ramp -- I'd want to see actual proof otherwise (hint hint, want to host my map on EU?).

@FlashFTW -- Thanks, I'll take "interesting". :D
