Their base locations are in similar positions. Also the aesthetics are nearly the same. Besides that, their gameplay is unique to eachother.

Absolutely love the map, only concern is the high ground at the 3rd/4th, looks like a lovely spot for tanks. Perfect balance between attack paths and defendability though!

Bases in similar spots =/= same map

The highground you point out is subject to change. I agree with you that it may be too strong.

I like this layout much more than your other one.
The pocket base is awesome.
The drop pods are awesome.
The ramps touching ramps are awesome.
The aesthetics of your other map are better in comparison, however both are good.

Rush distance is ~42 seconds yeah, partly because of the complicated pathing.

I feel this is the biggest challenge in Map making right now, Space efficency paired with interesting middle and Yet a Rush distance that ist 40max. You did pretty well. Will you go for interesting Visuals for TLMC? Or Beach-bitch?

So many fucking ramps o_O

Aside from that, I think it's a great map, although I haven't played it.

I really like the attack paths and ramps of this map. I feel more people should do this. It enhances the decisions you have to make to take a proper engagement. To almost every point of contention on this map there are multiple paths to take, almost each of them having advantagse and downsides.

The north/south expos are interesting as well, normally I'm not a fan of expos with one ramp to it but the good part is that these can be sieged and generally hit from the lowground with ease effectively creating another more interestingf entry path to them.

That he couldn't decide on how to design his map so he just threw both versions up and decided to see what other people had to say?

I wanted to wait to let the design of the two maps soak in before I commented. I was also having a bit of trouble remembering which one had which designs. I prefer the 3rd and corner bases on this map to Panwa, but I like Panwa's center better. I'm indifferent about which is better between the two bases outside the main. I don't like the 1 and 7 bases on either map. I think the rush distances and the interesting attack paths are the two best feature of both maps.

So, in order:
3rds: I'm not a fan of the recent trend towards more difficult 3rds. This may be because of personal Protoss-bias, but in the current GSL, only 7 Protoss players made it into Code S whereas 14 Zerg players managed the same feat, so I think it's a pretty reasonable assertion to say 3rds are too difficult right now.

TR and BL corner bases: Monuriki's seems okay. Panwa's seems to encourage passivity. In both cases, it seems like a player could send their workers in and then wall off that area pretty easily turning it into a very safe almost island base. The reason Monuriki's is better is because attacking the corner base in Panwa with the main army requires the player either to go past the single-wide area protected by the collapsible rock which can be defended easily and where they can be flanked from the 3rd, or go around behind where they leave all their bases exposed to a counter push. Monuriki, by having two attack points from the same accessible location, while a bit safe, still can be assaulted by a main army readily.

1 and 7 position bases: I'm of the opinion that centrally positioned bases should be pretty wide open because those are taken in the late-game when armies are large, and need a lot of room to move around. Both maps feature small ramps pointing in only one of the two directions making it very hard to attack/defend for one of the two players.

Center: Monuriki's center feels overly complex. Panwa is nice clean, and extremely well-executed. I don't like low-ground paths that are perpendicular to the primary attack direction. If it's parallel to the direction players want to go, then they'll go through it just because it's the fastest. But if it's perpendicular, then players will plan on avoiding it to avoid having to retreat before a high-ground army, and rarely will gain an advantage by utilizing it.

Please, make more differences, like lighting. For example change to night here or on other map.

Honestly I don't feel like the gameplay is going to be much difference with the other map you posted. The aesthetics and main/nat locations do exaggerate it but... similar map split, expo layout, and base vulnerabilities exist. It's mostly some varied choke sizes and one extra/less entrance to a few bases. They're both solid maps but I don't advise submitting both. They're just too similar in concept. I like crazy maps anyway :D
