It looks pretty good, but theres not a lot of room to move around in the middle and expanding might be difficult... also blue is a little isolated, also teals cliff has a mineral blocking the way in, also the 2 5k gas islands is too much and difficult to get to for red... =/ balance problems but otherwise it does look like a nice map, good job.

umm, few problems, red cant get to islands on bottom right easily, blue is isolated, pretty good for a first map though.
For everybody else, when making a 3 player island map, make sure you make islands between each players island, for expansions and maybe toss one in the middle. otherwise this is better than most of the other maps, nice variety, doodads, good job

This map is very unbalanced. Blue has very big advantages.
- Blue has pretty much exclusive access to the island at middle left.
- It's almost impossible for Red to get the islands at lower right.
- Only one entrance per base. Terran would easily win by camping at the bridge of other players and starving them to death.
- BLue can defend his bridge from a cliff and all the other players can't.

It doesn't suck, it's just unbalanced. And for your first map, it's way better than those symetrical maps that people make. The terrain is quite good and the concept too, just make it balanced next time.
I would suggest reading Entropy's Pinned topic about Balancing out a Melee map(It's in one of the Melee forums here at SEN)
