i hope you didnt protect this map. Much better than your other maps.
BUT, i would take out orange and teal, and put blue on a hill like the others. Orange and teal would get romped, they would be better as expansion areas
There are some balancing issues that need to be taken care of, and im not sure, but if there are i would add trees, you need doodads for cover.

There is no map size 196x196.
Perhaps you mean 192x192?

I feel your pain.
My entire mapmaking effort is currently focused on getting my campaign done. When it IS finished, you'll see it in the Map Showcase forum. For now, look it up in the Maps in Progress forum.
It'll be the one called "Campaign-Crusade".

i think the main starts could use less minerals...
most maps have 5-8 minerals yours looks like it has 10-12...
You need more expansions...

The formation of blues minerals seems a bit odd, it not the same as all the other formations on the bases, you might wanna adjust that so there isnt a mineral collecting imbalance.

I don't know if I can see all the minerals properly but it looks like Blue and Brown have more minerals.
Also, I don't think there is too much because the max that one of the players have, I think that have the most minerals is blue which he has about 10.

ALso looking at it i think purps base might be a center for attention... purp is the only one directly connected to the lnad mass and purp seems to be more of a traget then the other bases.... just my opinion... might be all wroung

It's a damn shame. People these days seem inclined to go for more of a "more is better" attitude when dealing with minerals and Vespene.
I say we make another patch which automatically turns money maps into UMS.

he doesnt have to allow it, you have to upload it, and if he likes it enough, he puts it in the pro section.

But I do have to approve the map first. Basicly when you upload a map to the DLDB it will be unviewable by all members except DLDB Keepers and Admins. We then check the map out and if it fits the rules we approve the map and it will be available for the public. Then I might move it to the Pro section.
Anyways Tazzy, I really do like the map, it's pretty much evenly balanced and you can clearly see that beacuse there is a decent amount of cliffs and chokepoints but the last doen't compose too much of the map. There are also big open areas and lots of low-lying areas which are also good for balancing otu a map.
The only flaw that i see are long games. There aren't many expansions out there, Only 1 main base per player and 1 big expansion for player. All the rest are just small mineral deposists of 2 resource patches. I think that the map won't go into the late game because there aren't very many minerals.

Note, i have changed the map just a little bit, so the preview is little wrong.
ill update map and prewview soon.
Thank you Beer_KeG[eM], Yes me and Yoshi, played it last night. He said it was good enough for the DLDB, Yes he ran out of mineral deposists fast. So where there where only 5 mineral deposists for little exp base. I have placed 7, all mineral deposists have 1800 and Vespene gas 5000. Im working on what space i have left for more exp bases. Maybe a huge exp base in the middel something to fight for. Agian Thank you beer. Im so glad people do like the map considering the fact its my first major melee atemp..
