The map focuses on combat and navigation over the central highground.

This map is so good, but you have to fix the dead space around the top right and bottom left.

Other than that, maybe try to avoid the root textures on the ramps to ease reading the minimap.

Oh very cute map, and I like how you used orange for the center.
Im not sure about using rocks in the middle, and the middle of the map very narrow. Im not sure what to think.

the map looks nice but its very chokey. you could do with some more spacing inbetween the bases to help eliminate the dead air space in the corners. but mostly the middle orange part, there just isnt much room at all for maneuvering any larger sized armies.

There's actually quite a lot of space in the central highground. The orange space when contrasted with the darker brown might make it look a bit more constricted in the overview.

I'd say make no gameplay affecting changes and just add some sweet personal element to the dead space, like even dark grey lights in thick low black fog and weird colored shit movin around down there like the void or somethin.

lol...

I dig this map a lot
Kudos

EDIT* I sortof like the rocks in the middlle, I bet any money it will add an interesting dynamic to this map without being too contrast to unit or timing balance

I really dig the first 4 base layout. reminds me of two of the new maps on ladder. Perhaps the logical 3rd may be a bit hard to defend? Maybe not, considering the map layout lends itself towards more aggressive play anyway.

I really love the aesthetics. The contrast between the grey and the center is pretty sweet.

Seems refreshing to look at, but I don't think the majority enjoys playing fire-type maps. Forest maps are usually much more pleasing to look at. Also, I think that choke point in the middle could cause serious imbalance issues.

Well, you don't want to attack through that point because defending that should be easy, but there is enough room to move around to make it okay. If it was the only movement path it would had been bad , but its not. To me its just a choke in the middle off the map that connect the top to the bottom, that does not make it imbalanced.

It’s very pretty but the centre is really constricted.
