The Top down overview picture isn't working nor is the lowest of the close ups.

I don't know much about 2v2 maps so can't really say alot. Islands and Gold bases are both there so lots of Variety. Wish we would see that more often in 1v1 maps.

Nice simple + clean aesthetics. I remember a high level 2v2 guy posting and saying that mains/nats really need to be more defensible so these are probably good. Islands in 2v2 seems fun, too.

Only thing I don't like is the name, it doesn't really make sense for the aesthetics :-P But I guess that doesn't really matter.

I feel the middle is too choke heavy, putting an army in the middle with static defenses in the 3 entrances will let you defend your side pretty easily while allowing for pressure on the other side, don't know if that is good or bad, since it rewards good positioning and simcity.

Other than that seems like a good map, but will have to try it a bit before giving more feedback.

EDIT: only played a single game so far, but what I can say already is that the mineral placement is not optimal, you should copy mineral and gas placements from ladder maps, right now some patches are further than the standard.

I wish there were more chokey maps. Dynamic maps with backstabs and army movement are fun, but this handicaps T and P because they rely on tanks / sentries to live in 1v1, but they do not have that luxury in team games. Making Terran play bio against Zerg on every single damn team map is ridiculous.
6pool/cannon still may be strong, not sure about the scale of this map.

just add some aos blockers in the middle, and if the proportions are correct for 2v2 we have here a good and clean map. Wait for some round up tests, and send it to blizzard.

This map definitely has the right idea. Interesting that there are no xel naga towers. The gold bases in the middle might be a bit much regular bases would probably be OK. 20 bases is more than any 2v2 map that has ever been in ladder! (Not that that is necessarily right). Nice job.

Looks like it would be a fun map to play 2v2 on, lots of expansions . Much better then all the 2v2 ladder maps.

Seems like a solid 2v2 map, for sure. Love that whole curvy shape in the middle, I think the design of the map is overall very clever.
You mean I just write stuff here and other people can see it?

Cool! I absolutely love this map - equal footing start, and expansions for both. That is what most 2v2 maps are missing. The middle looks very interesting. The only thing I want to comment on is the fact that airplay is a tad stronger for harassment due to the island-like setup of the starting 'fortress'. A way to blink in or drop-over could help adress that, unless if this was your intention.

I can see most openings that include air rush to be effective here, such as banshee, muta and phoenix/vr openings while the other teammate defends. The wide opening towards the naturals adresses this somewhat, because expanding and rushing is very hard with such a ramp

I like it and will give it a try today.
Comparing BW with SCII is like comparing a beautiful three-master sailing ship with a modern battlecruiser. Both are beautiful in their own way, both perform the same task, but they are worlds apart in how they are built and how they are steered.

It might be too good to hold the middle. It's high ground, easily defendable and there is no way to bypass it on the ground.

Well, if anything some of the 2v2 metagame would be different. Normally blink stalkers are great in 2v2; here they would be pretty mediocre. Tanks can be outmaneuvered on a lot of 2v2 maps, but here they might be strong. etc.

Finally, a viable 2v2 map! Looks very well done. Any plans to publish on other severs?
gorkey island is the only good map

too easy to take the naturals. one give dynamic of 2v2s is that there's a major risk in fast expoing. here, it is too easy to defend a quick expo.

I think some of this could be alleviated by, as Callynn pointed out, making the naturals cliff-walkable. It might be necessary to give the attacking team a spot for ranged units to shoot up at the units on top. Right now the only thing attackers have going for them is they are on the right side of the concave.

Did you play the map? On what basis do you say that? I have played on it several times and actually the natural is pretty hard to take since its very open, also the main entrance is pretty open. For example look at a map like molten core, taking the natural there requires much less buildings, of course there are much harder maps to take the natural, but also here you can't take one base easily, it is as hard to take 2 as it is to take 1.

The only thing that makes the naturals easier to take than on most maps is the rush distance, which is pretty large, but this map supposes to be a macro map, so its cool.

I look like if you're playing terran holding the middle w/ tanks lets you lockdown the whole map. No other routes to run around.
