Ohana? I think it more like a mix of Antiga and Condemned ridge at close by air position, because of the one entrance 3rd, and way the 4th is, except it is not in the middle.

Can you give teh analyzer for rush distance? would be more useful then only having the openness.

Overall the map seem cool, I don't really like the watch towers covering every path to your base, but that is your choice.

I'm hoping it will encourage small skirmishes to get control of them.

It's about 120 for close and 145 for cross.

I wanted to make it a semi-island. After that it was probably a too safe first expansion for Terran.

I am open to leaving them off of the town hall location. Would need to see.

IMO a good useage of watch towers is to make them reveal the entrance when the rocks still stand but later on the side paths could be used for surprise attacks.

suggest making center area only for one tower instead of 4. give too much map vision imo.

also wtf rocks. dustin browder was here.

solid map, cant really say much about the 3rd, other than the fact that say someone spawns bottom and someone spawn left, then left will have advantage because they will have a closer drop to the 3rd. watch out for that minor imbalance.

My first thought when I saw this was:
http://teamcrux.tistory.com/89

But all things considered, it's a solid map from you, and I think it's a step forward. The map is nothing unique, but it's a simple, solid map, albeit with a LOT of rocks. I'd drop the ones blocking the expansion. Keep it up though!

take out one set of rocks at the middle base because terran lift can be a bit powerful.

We don't need to get into that discussion again. You and I know where we stand on this issue from my other thread.

The size of the map, and the rocks, provoces agressive play, i dont know how the map plays out, but it looks like a very Micro play favourable map.
The feel i get is that your spawning side by side with the enemy, like one on each side of a fence, who ever gets the hounds loose first, is the one walking home.
But maybe im wrong, its anyways the way it feels.
If it releases in EU, i might test it.

EDIT: I dont wish to sound negative, and im trying to improve on that.. As people might know its easy to leave behind comments on whats "wrong" with a map, its important to remember mentioning whats good as well.
On account of that, i'd like to mention that your spacing, in terms of how much space, versus too much space, is looking excellent.
The shape of the map layout is great, but might be a little to Close to each other for my own personal taste.
Your middle is clean, simple but very inviting.. though i dont think 4 XNT, will be the best choice.

No, don't take out those rocks, otherwise the middle expos suck. The semi-islands are frickin awesome and they have to be this way for the position balance to work- if you removed any set of rocks, the expansions would become very vulnerable and hard to defend. The thing that makes them viable is that you can break 1 set of rocks or none and have it be very safe for you to hold, regardless of the position. If anything, the solution would be to remove the ramp that the diagonal rocks are on so that it's even less vulnerable.

It might not be a problem, but i think 37% coverage, is a lot, for the map.. but since theres 4, its still hard to mapcontrol all of that.
Yes either keep it as it is, or remove them all.
Its a hard call, and im guessing only testing it would be the way to know.

I liked monitor's suggestion so I went ahead and took out the large ramps in the middle. Also made some aesthetic updates.
