Hi guys. After being so bored for so many days, I decided to make some maps. Here's a map that I just made this morning so I hope you guys can tell me what other things I can add to balance the map.

Note: Just incase if the picture is too small and to clarify, the furthermost ramp from the natural actually has 32 minerals in it. Its not an open ramp.

Well...aside from the map being very, very plain...the right main...and actually the entire right side of the map is a lot larger than the left...

Also, you have eleven minerals at each main, and eight at the nats. Standard play nowadays is nine mins in the main, and 6-7 in nat I believe. That will throw off balances right there. In addition, the narrow ramps leading to the middle plateau will seriously tip the balance towards terran.

The map is not very balanced at all...:\

Big main or small map? What's with the middle expansion? A bit more explanation I think is needed. Is this your first map?

However that's a lot of mineral patches per expansion and in main, Looks good for dropship play however the fact that the main's are so close would mean whoever can get drops early wins.

the small strips of land right below the cliff by the main's minline looks tankable

So if terran takes the center highground, they win instantly. This is what I'm seeing on this map.

Okay version 1.1 is up. I'm kinda havig trouble with making an expanded ramp like how they did it on python on the 11 and 5 o'clock expansions. I'm also unsure as to making an inverted ramp that flips to the other side.

seems like the map may have pathfinding issues when issuing your units to attack the other persons base (may get stuck in between minerals etc or that T could put a bunch of siege tanks/bunkers/turrets just behind those mineral patches in the middle of the map and just be able to contain far too easily (imo)
