Overview;

Bounds; 162x167 playable, full 168x184
It’s not shown on the overview but a thick black fog covers the lowest ground so the mammoth bones are only partially visible.
I was inspired by the shadow temple from Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. I learnt a lot about proportions putting this map together. I like using doodads in alternative ways trying to construct interesting and unique sets. I think I did a decent job of creating a dungeon theme with the doodads available. I owe a big thank you to monitor’s proportions guide. I also used methods from NullCurrent’s 3 player map guide, thank you NullCurrent.

Data; The main data I changed were size changes to doodads. I also changed the model of the destructible rocks to the small skeleton rib cage model as well as the name to “Sacrificial Corpse”.
I also added the original shadow temples sound track to play instead of the normal music.

Balance Comments; My friend pointed out that positioning your army to hold your 3rd in both top (10/2 o’ clock) or both bottom ( 5/7 o’ clock) spawns could be troublesome. Hopefully that will make the XWT a point of interest. I also noticed that in these same spawns the middle might not get much use as the bottom attack path is much more direct (contradicting my previous statement I know). I would like to hear from the community on these points and any other flaws you may see.
Also i would like to change the minimap to a lighter colour so it is eazier to read. Is there a way to change how textures appear on the minimap with data editor?
Thank you~ Turbogangsta
If you haven’t yet please check out my previous map Trollwood please do, Its published on [NA].
edit;

It does need a little bit better of a texture. Perhaps add some brighter colors in small amounts, and some protoss symbol doodads (like the little hexagons). It would make the map a lot easier to see, and it would make this a pretty cool map to play on.
The mains are a little large, and the center may be a little too chokey. Consider removing the two large holes in the middle, and adding one slightly larger hole in the direct middle.
IIRC, those blood stains appear OVER creep, so use them more sparingly.

I feel themains are a tiny bit too big too but i kept getting complaint about my mains being too small 
the middle is actualy extremely open its hard to tell w/o analyser x.x

Haha. Check the analyzer thread, and keep trying. They're always very important.

One of the key parts of AC is that you can split it down the center. It's not a stretch of the imagination to draw a line down AC and say "this is my half and that is your half".
This map is more about quarters, similar to Shattered Temple.
Dependent on spawn positions, of course.

I'm interested in what you did to get the analyzer working -- are you on a PC or a MAC? I am on a PC and I tried a number of different links in that thread and none of them worked for me.
I think your aesthetic theme for this map is pretty cool. It reminds me of this one custom level called "Spike Room" in the game Bump N Jump -- if you could get a midi of Master Of Puppets into your map, that would be awesome.
