hi
today i was thinking blizzcon contest ended on the 6th instead of the 10th and since im pretty busy until like the 5th or 6th i worried about having to finish the maps i wanted to submit so i worked most of today on this map
im not quite sure about the expansion placement, but i think it will lead to interesting games. the center is pretty narrow, and since the expansions are pretty close together i would expect that this would turn into a macro war, but without a true "central point" to do battle in, so the ensuing battles could happen anywhere.
im wary of the empty space below red and above blue though, i want to add an expo but there is already alot of expansions (it has 2 islands, 4 mineral onlys, and 4 gas expos)
maybe to increase traffic in that area, i could move the island minerals up next to the low ground, making it harassable by the lower ground.
wat do you think
[edit] sorry i forgot gas on one of the islands. both islands should have gas

Soo symmetrical...
7/10 for the fact that no one has made a good non-symmetrical map and no one wil ltry.
Base score is done. I like the expansions and map design so I give it +1
Final Score without balance testing is 8/10. Congrats.

I don't feel your expo placement. Their should be at least one expo that toss can take in zvp if zerg has mapcontrol. Same TvP. With a real natural expansion and not all expos at the same place (12 and 6 right now) it would be much better imo.

Is symmetry the only thing you care about?
Thank you for adding the expo. That looked so annoying with nothing there. It bothers me when there is stuff like that.
I dislike the expo in front of expo at the 6 and 12.
maybe take out the blocking one and add one against the wall that is adjacent to each main.
ADDITION:
Oops didnt explain why. I think that it makes maps flow better when the expansions are seperated and not cramped into 2 spots on the entire map.
