Hey guys so I was trying to think of a good map concept and this layout came up. So I was wondering if you guys could give me some feedback on what would help balance this map and make it better

Decoration is still a bit rough, but that's not as important since it's not a final version
Map Name: The D
Author: traceurling
Size: 96 x 96
Terrain: Jungle World
Players: 2
Playtype: Ground
Version: 1.1

Features:
-long, vertical, central ridge
-close air distances
-neutral command center
-neutral creep at 12 o' clock
-gas only base at at the top of the ridge
-10th mineral patch in main is reduced to 500 minerals

Communications Established…
General Loffier: HQ, requesting comsat scan on terrain.
HQ: Copy that General, comsat incoming
*scan*
Private Molpus: My God Sir, is that a giant…
General Loffier: Yes son, it is. It appears we will be fighting for our lives on top of and around a giant penis.
Private Molpus: Good God…I don’t want to die on a dick.
General Loffier: Sergeant Olesen! Sergeant Boudle!
Sergeant Olesen and Boudle: Yes, Sir!
General Loffier: Olesen, I want you to oversee base operations, begin erecting our structures on top of the scrotum immediately! Boudle, head an expeditionary force, you will have one team take the head, and another to advance through the surrounding brush and take up a position on the base of the shaft. Your force must penetrate any resistance, and do not rest until you have a firm grip upon the shaft!
Sergeants: Aye, Sir!
General Loffier: Corporal Portim, I want a detailed map of the area. Make a rough draft of the terrain by drawing your genitals.
Corporal Portim: Aye, sir.
General Loffier: I can’t wait to meat the enemy.

Changes
-Added more creep to top
-Decoration
-Made more area unbuildable
-Made the tip of the ridge buildable
-Tested and fixed Protoss FFE Wall

Inspired by This Map

This is my first time with working with 96^2, so use of space isn't optimal...don't know how to Terran wall D:

Suggestions/comments on how to improve gameplay/balance/anything pertaining to the map etc. would be appreciated

Hope you guys like it and get some good laugh/games out of it

I was expecting the map to look like more of a penis.

I'm not good with 96^2 maps...maybe if I did like diagonal symmetry it would've been betterly executed

I was a bit worried about Terran being OP here cuz of the center ridge as well as defensive tanks being situated in the main...I think Zerg and Protoss might be able to deal with it with air superiority and/or drops...also rest of map is fairly open...any suggestions for balance?

Serious post:
Put mineral line on the outer side of the ball sack so mutas gotta fly around.

Yah reason I even attempted it was cuz of Python so it should be possible..just watch out for mutas/drops/carriers...and tanks shouldn't be able to hit the other main, there should be 12 tiles between

~~Otherside as in close to ramp?~~ oops misread outer as other...well right now ZvT has muta harass as an integral part to the MU, and since the Natural's resources aren't harrassable I feel like the main should be...and also I don't want Terrans feeling too secure...

Updated OP with download link...was trying to make a map that would entertain you guys. But even with fun in mind, I still want to have balance if possible, so if you play any games on this feel free to post them somewhere so I can see some gameplay

ZerO on Holy World VOD, I remember watching that game...genius with the Overlord-Infested Terrans...
Shit I just realized you can only distance mine from te 12 o'clock geyser cuz you don't have room to build a Hatch/CC/Nexus up there...I'll fix that tomorrow when I get on computer...also you can hide your Zerg tech in the neutral creep
