If red is terran, they'll be able to force blue into the pit on the lower-left and decimate them with siege mode-enabled tanks.

If blue is terran they could do it too

You have too few expansions, and too few minerals per expansion. Also, each player should have a natural (that's an easily claimable expansion just outside the main that the player can take). There shouldn't be two gas geysers on a single expansion, without major consideration for balance. It doesn't work here. There are also far too many cliffs, which is a huge advantage for Terran. You need to have open spaces in your maps for PvT balance (there is a lot of flanking required be P in order to be successful in a PvT).

Aesthetic tip: unless it's a space map, straight lines look really ugly. It's much better to have an uneven (yet symmetrical) natural feel to maps.

Make sure maps aren't too narrow or have too many cliffs, terran dominates with these conditions.

Many maps give 3-5 expansions for each player (not including the main), if you take out some excess high ground and add some expansions the map could make a drastic improvement.

Thanks for the effort.

New version

Though a little bit sloppy, those are great suggestions. Take advantage of them.

ADDITION:
If there is anything on that you don't understand tell us and we'll explain.

I don't like how there's only one way to get to the enemy... and on top of that its long and filled with bottlenecks. Another T favoring map...

Use the advice Sexy gave you.

Thanks and yes I do got a question. On sexys plans one of the mountains says to make it unlandable and the other one just says no why is that?




Bottleneck?

The bridges

And if you want to include it... the ramps but those are fine.

Ill extend the bridges and ramps

Means the same thing. It gives Terran way too much power.

What if I just extend the river instead of the mountains?

I would say if you're going to do that, leave the thinest possible cliff there (no units can land on it).

Alright I did that and fixed most of the problems you said to fix

It's definitly a major improvment. However, it really is important to have unbuildable Terrain after that 2nd Nat. like just before the dual bridges, and in the middle... sort of encircling the expos there.

ADDITION:
Maybe move Blue's bridge just a little closer to his nat to make it even with Red.

Alright thanks

Also this is a bit picky on my part, however I think double bridges are a lot uglier than extended terrain bridges. Also... the map would make it almost impossible for a T to take advantage over a Z early game. The lings could play proxy around the bridges until T left with his first MM army. Feels like a bizarre version of pa with two bridges.
