I made this small map a while ago and I haven't thought to upload in onto SEN until now, so here it is. Traffic is a one on one map that I designed with TvT in mind, so give me your opinions on it.
There's really no place for other expo's. But what I might do, if anything, is up the resource count for the patches to 2000 or 2500.
Yea and make it a money map xD
I love playing on money maps, even though it just plainly defeats the whole purpose of build-and-expand. I like to mass up units, and watch the sparks fly.
This map can only be used for same race matchups (as it is symmetrical, yet unbalanced), but even then the games will be plain and boring. Next map make sure you have a handful of expansions, and a reasonable natural.
put exp in corners perhaps.
I care way more about this map looking good than playing well, but I guess that's just my philosophy in general I suppose. But having expo's in the corners would make the map really ugly. Plus it would bring up the question of "WTF WHY IZ TEHERE AN EXPO IN THE ROAD OMFG WTF!?"

Omg, you should not make melee maps :[ It's all about how they play, the looks are just to give a good first impression. And experienced players/mappers mostly find the maps beautiful that look like they play good, you can't impress them with doodads/nice symmetry/whatever that much. Well, that's a blood bath-like. I like bloodbath, but for long GGs, the map is not suited.

I'm not going to lie to you... the map doesn't even look good. Also, it looks like you just took the bridge from my map =/ But whatever.
This map looks great, what the hell's wrong with you? I could take the critism about balance, but Jesus Christ, you're one unique asshole.
It hurts my eyes, and it's incredibly simple (the map is an X for crying out loud). I don't praise people for drawing a couple diffrent coloured boxes, I won't praise you for this. Just a diffrence in opinions, sorry.
I'm not asking you to praise me, sorry about what I said there, but you could you tell me about the balance issues with a little more detail. Though I did say that I intended this map to be for TvT anyway.
I'm revising the map a little right now.
This forum really does bring out the worst in people.
EDIT -
I changed the map some. I found a place for more expo's and edited the bridge so it's a little easier to build on.
People don't like your map so suddenly they're all being wonderful friends? That's rediculous. I gave you good solid advice. I told you that if you make a new map, you should have a natural, and expos, then it will be easier for us to help you. As it is now, we'd have to teach you the entire game of StarCraft to tell you what's wrong with this map. I don't have the time to write it, you don't have the time to read it. If you do, look up replays on wgtour.com Common man, you throw us a map that couldn't have taken more than 15 minutes (it would have taken me 5 minutes, I'm being generous) and then you tell us we're mean for not liking it? Sorry, I'm only telling you this because I don't want you to do it again... otherwise I wouldn't be harsh.
ADDITION:
Better, but when Zerg place a hat at your natural it will be difficult, if not impossible to defend. You need to close it in a little so that 4 sunks can effectivly be lined up and defend from Marines and Medics.
I don't even care anymore, if I keep this topic open the only it's going to do is drive me to kill.
