Well...I realized I kinda goofed when I put the 3' & 6' expos to close together. But I had already gotten pretty far into making it. It shouldn't be too much of a problem, should it? On 1v1 they could have crazy expo hunting....
I'm feeling the center is kinda shifted to the left....but maybe that's just me.

I had a map called elysium fields, I never posted it cause I didn't finish, I probably will over winter break cause its my best by far, now I have to change the name.
About the map.
You should balance the bases positionally, I see no particular trend. At first glance it looked good but because of the positions of the bases some players would have certain advantages.
First thing to do, make all the ramps from bases face counter clockwise around the map. Then from there replace the expos and the map will be quite good.
Looks a bit too much like LT with more natural landscape.

Some position imbalances:
-Bases like Blue's ramp leads out into open while Teal must walk through that narrow path to get out.
-Blue's base has a small cliff behind the mineral line, allowing tanks to be able to hit there, while the other bases you can't (except maybe purple).
-Red has an island significantly closer to his main than everyone else. Possible fast CC float, etc.
+With a few changes, this could be a rather good, playable map.

Thanks for the advice, and sry I took your name
Yeah, I tried to get my idea from the LT format. I tried to put some filler junk to make it different...I'll need more practice to develop my own layouts, though.
I'll rework positioning and other stuff after my exams
I was thinking of getting rid of the top-left and bottom-right expos entirely, and adding gas to the other corner expos.

Dont give up on it, cause its always worth a shot to improve maps.
