the mini map doesn't look like it would be a good map at all...
Looks like it took you 10-15 minutes at MOST...
Almost No Stratagy...
4/10

Base sizes are now 98% the same. There are NO passages you cant reach without dropshit. Answering your question, yes I can edit any small changes I want to do even if the map is in the DLDB.
ABou the ramp thing in lower expansions I'll think about that. Elevated trrain isnt an advantage only to terran, zerg can put guardians on that elevated terrain for some huge damage or they can put hydras, the protoss can put dragoos for heavy damage as well..
I'm editing the file to include the ramp thing you said, you are right.
ADDITION:
About odds post: No strategy O.o, thats the last thing I was expecting to hear about the map. I took laround 2-5 hours making this. See the big image and not the minimap, I say it again, I'm editing everything one final time to include some small but crucilal changes.

Ok, it is very big advantage, favoring terran, for a reason. Bats and meds are cheap as hell, can make'em in 15seconds. Toasted lings, anyone? Pour'em down the funnel. Bats are counter for zeals. Toasted zealots, anyone?? They are also small so you could fit 3 on a ramp. Goons are big and slow, and guardians are high in the tech tree. You could get 10 wraiths/vessels/carriers when zerg has guardians. Just something to think about.

Caim, I know you've spent a long time working on this map because you've been sticking around and taking advice and keeping your poker face on. That's a really good thing to have anytime. You get respect from that. All you have to do is try to balance your maps. And don't slave over one map. If it's a fiasco, just move on. Rose.Of.Dream's Mercury was a fiasco, but he put that behind him, and he's the most famous map-maker there is. His maps are used for Pro-Tourneys with bigg prizes.

The bases also don't have natural expos, big no-no for zerg since for many zerg, if you can't do 9-hatch build you are in a big disadvantage to terran/toss, with the m/m combo and zeal rushes.
WTH, would you people please download the map???
If you do you will see that they do.

I just want to make one map at a time and not make 5 maps a week. Also I'm busy with other projects such as UMS. I like doing meele maps but its not the only thing I do.

Yea, I'm not telling you to make a bazillion maps. Just saying that if one idea doesn't work out, just come up with a new one. Hey, I don't make barely 2 maps a week.
And I call expos right next to my base a natural, something easy to defend.

"something easy to defend"
The expos up top are pretty "easy to defend"
On the other topic, yes I know what you mean about droping this idea and moving on, thats basically what I'm doing because I'm doing a new map BUT If I have to go back to older maps like this one to make changes, I will.

I know it's Beer's decision. Message directed towards him, not you. Ok, you can have the easy to defend part, but it is really far from home.

Why would you post that if you knew it was his discision? Ok, last thing non-related to you map I will post. This is getting ridiculous.

Exactly what I was thinking. I wont post here again unless somebody else does.
