The only real complaint I have is the lava. Its not REALLY necessary and just looks a little awkward. Once you spruce up the doodads and textures though, this map will be a great piece! | ||

+ Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/JAlzoA9.jpg) Contra KingCorwin, I actually like the lava. I think it's a cool looking accent. But I do think you should work on the texturing in the main and the low ground. | ||

 The FFE against the rocks is pretty interesting. When the rocks are down the flow of the path around the wall is pretty unusual. The area near the tower is kinda chokey but I think it's just barely okay. Might need to reduce the jutting hole by 2 squares, maybe, maybe. I would be perfectly content if this TLMC'd to ladder. | ||

Looks nice though, I like Whiplash's idea about some forest doodads. | ||

Anyway, just thought I would clarify where the credit is due | ||

The third isn't hard, but it isn't super easy like it was on CK and even the fourth is slightly harder as it's actually quite a distance away from your third rather than being right down the ramp and finally gone are those large back paths which made playing mech vs bio almost impossible on that map. Really hope I can find someone to play this map with, can't wait to give mech a try on it vs all the races. ^^ | ||

Really hope I can find someone to play this map with, can't wait to give mech a try on it vs all the races. ^^ CK's concept was small chokes through the mid (short rush distance) and wider paths on the sides. This map is pretty much the opposite. Comparing the thirds is a little interesting... Here you have a 4x ramp to defend first, which is pretty wide but it's also not right in front of the base like on CK. This means you don't have to squish around your town hall to get a concave on the ramp, but since it's a 4x you won't be wanting to anyway so it's kinda weird. I like this third better than CK's for sure. For the fourths though... I think this one's easier even if it's a bit further from the actual town hall at the third. You have that nice little pit out in front of it creating some chokes (like an older version of CK, actually.) Comparing them though, this one is further from the enemy and more covered by the positions you already have to defend to defend your first three bases. There's also not a high ground ridge above it. I think the fourth here might be too easy. | ||

I agree w/ gfire in that the 4th might be too easy. Especially since the 5th is a really easy next step w/ the rock protection. I'm not really sure how you would change that without completely changing the layout, though. Pretty solid map overall. | ||

Rocks on ramp/modifying ramp between 3rd/4th Droppable ledge behind 4th Do any of these changes potentially help at all? I don't think they really do. I do think that while it is on the easier side it also represents a lot more defensive perimeter since you have to cover basically the whole map width at that point, and the 4th is also very air/drop vulnerable. Running your army side to side to defend isn't that easy since it means going out by the xel naga tower, or running in that narrow passage outside your base. I'll take ideas for how to fix it up if anyone has any though. | ||
