- In 2v2 this map looks very similar to a map whose name i cant remember, but it had an equal ground backdoor entrance covered by rocks. I abused blink stalkers waaaay too much that map. That whole map was a terrible idea. | ||

Once you have taken a third, you can start to expand upwards on the partner main, while still holding the lowground, meaning you don't sacrifice any safety by rabid expansion. There is too many expansions covered by too little space. I could see it working as a 2v2 map and i do dig the way the Backdoor into the natural is made, but this map won't work for 1v1. | ||

This is why I don't believe in axial maps in general, they always feature this pattern where both players expand in parallel away from each other. It just doesn't work. You should expand in a twirl around the centre. | ||

Maybe if you switched the ramp with rocks to make the backdoor the natural and altered the current natural to be a potential third? I dunno. Looks great though will definitely try it ^_^! | ||

Even if Close position is banned(as it should be) we still see the problem that also occured on Shakuras version 1.0 and Metropolis.

Agreed - actually this map has the potential to be even worse than Metropolis. Although the distances are shorter so the potential for split map situations is reduced, in the event that it happens you'll get the most uber-turtly fastest map possible style game with a secure 8 bases for each player. In my opinion though, the exact same reasons would make this map perfect as a 2v2 macro map where each player actually has the potential to secure 4 bases, a feat which is near impossible on probably every existing 2v2 ladder map. | ||

+ Show Spoiler + Would be a cool 2v2 map if you made only one main have an entrance, and then connect the corner bases on that respective side. | ||
