I have tested this with a few people but I need more input.

Can you post a screenshot? I don't want to download it if it sucks.

It's really annoying to not have an exclusive natural expansion per player. And any game on this map would turn into a rush game as a result of the lack of walls separating bases. I don't want to insult you, but I will say this. Take a look at the MOTW's on BWMN, and you should see a common expansion layout. You're allowed to be creative, but don't take it to the extreme.

Guys, come on, the melee forum's been dead for like a month. Give the guy credit for trying.
My old shiz was purely disgusting, and my "new" ones aren't even real. They're like things that I gave up on 1/6th of the way through and went like DEHHH.
Seeing the things on BWMN was just one more reason for me to give up map making completely...it's not even fun when you have no chance of being recognized or your map even being respected by anyone.
Jabberwocky, aside from the fact that you're named after that poem I read in english, I'll have to say your map isn't horrible. It's not the worst that it could be ; ). Try to find ULTIMAT ALIEN.scm and you'll know what I mean.
However, the layout and expansion mineral placement leaves much to be desired =(
gj though, I know ima get flamed for posting this, but it looks like the type of thing I'd play with my friends likea year ago because it was so silly it's fun.

Ugh, I dislike how this forum is heading, and its a disgrace to melee forums. SEN melee forum did have its height and its long gone. Thats when decent maps (besides arden's) were posted regularly and even the worse ones were given chances. All maps good or bad alike had posts that explained balance, how to fix it, and other tips. Now everything seems to be posts like, "Good map" or "Terrible". Problems with that... No one learns how to make balanced maps or new skills in making maps and when they hear that thier map is terrible they get discouraged from making more maps.
Even trcc started out rough, but he made maps and constantly improved and now hes only putting maps on BWMN and people respect him alot now. That happened because people would give him insight on his maps. He got 2 maps into blizzcon and its not cause people put comments like, "Great" on his map.

Why does sen not allowed me to dl it. It just comes up in a lot of weird code. It tends to do this a lot.

Well, definitely needs work. There are no nats, no choke points, and looking at that pic there's no ramp on the bottom left thing? And the island corner expos don't seem to have much room for defence. Also, those temple things look like good places to plant tanks...

Trcc got one map in BlizzCon, (S) ignal. Snooky got Roads to Antiga Prime in and boongee got Nightlight in and Travin got two in, King of the Abyss and Crusader. 
And yea, I remember the time when these forums just came up, Entropy/Panschk was still here and Peatza didn't post his art but imbalanced maps yet. Good times.
As for the map, try reading the guide that Entropy posted and take a look at some of the MOtW at http://www.broodwarmaps.net to get an idea of how a balanced map looks. Some key things to think about would be to give each player a main base with a choke, such as a ramp, to defend on. If not, it would be imbalanced since zerglings can run in and terrorize everything. Also, each player should have a natural expansion which they can take. Keep working at it and once you get balancing down, you can start to experiment with things, but have fun too.
