The last thing Washington need was a wider choke. Now lings can run through and rape toss :/ Also, there is no choke at all on the nat which makes defending it after expoing impossible.

... last I recall from Yenku, the bridge choke = easy terran turtling, and hence rigged it for terran.
Its not that big, either. Just not so tight -_-
What of the other two maps? I took your advice when updating the space one <_<
As for the lack of choke, ugh I have no clue what I can change to make that work. Unless someone can suggest a good idea on how to modify it, probably that will have to remain -_-

[sub]I could make the bridge slightly bigger for you via extended terrian.[/sub]

Well thanks, but unless it is modified again, such a venture will have no point to it. Main problem is trying to make an effective choke for the nat, which I can't think of a good way to do.

a totally honest post. Im here to help and noone will gain anything in me telling maps look good when they clearly cant be on a competitive level (which always is my goal)
On remnants of the past you're on to something, but its not finnished yet,
* Bigger mainbases, extend them to the corners, and remove that anoying doodad in them.
* Wide up the space outside the first expo
* place centerminerals so units wont risk walking through workers mining, and bug up.
* wzup with 3 mineralpatch expos, no1 will actually use them
* make sure tanks cant drop on the little island just outside bases (with doodads on)
* Extend the aREas at 10 and 4 to make the map slightly bigger, and make the gas epo bigger out there somewhere.
* Make islands bigger, add gas so they hold more strategical value.
* Remove the 12 doodad propellers, or what they are, on the platform around the center.
* Read "The Gas-issue" article on bwm.net and correct that (only needed in main)
* Overall, wide up paths here and there. Teran vs protoss will pe a biatch otherwise.
Decoration is ok though. Looks nice and serious.

Twilight stream
I dont know your ambitions with this map, but 192x192 (or is that even 256??) is just not suited for competitive play and this map is scrap in my eyes. period
(sorry)
______________________________________________
Washington EX seems generally awkward and is nothing compared to remnants, so i say focus on remnants and make it really good. The others will never stand up to higher quality than gaming with your close friends without total rebuilding, and then you might aswell start a new map with a better concept all togheter.
/sp
ADDITION:
here is a general understanding of what i mean.
But you should redo it yourself so it fits your style better.

The way you made it, though, makes it lose the theme altogether. Probably I'll just keep it like that, as I'm not going to make 10 versions just to make it perfect. If its not, fine, its not like its for serious gaming.
Thanks for advice though; I'll keep it in mind for the next map.

I might be going offboard but, I think that the Twilight Stream map looks a little too big. I am used to moderately small maps so some people might disagree with me. BUT, it's nice for a big stage.

An arena-type melee? Eh, might be fun with a purposely-made insanely big middle space just for dueling it out.

Well, origionally it was a 6 player map, hence the 192x192 size. Sort of had an idea for a non-money "team base" concept, where teams shared one side of the island, with the river splitting it down the middle. I couldn't find a good way to make a middle base (mid left/right) match the ones closely enough for the top left/right, so I just kept it like that. Makes it a little bit more unique, I suppose.
I'm sorry if it doesn't fit the typical melee setting, but I still like it. <_<
