Sorry about the varying sizes for the islands, I had messed up at the start and only realized half way thru it.

There arnt enough expansions for the players to go to you should add some and what is the point of all the bridges if you can just go across the path to the other players base?

Lol the bridges are for some strategic combat.

Try playing your map against a computer. Then rethink your map. Youll immediately see a problem.

I can see the problem right away. Horrible. Absolutely horrible mineral placements here and there. The map is way too flat. v.v You'd need to work it all over again.

Yes, minerals shouldn't be in one bunch.. It makes workers stupid when they can't reach the ones behind and it's annoying.

Too flat? like no high dirt? Its called Bridge2Bridge not Cliff2Cliff... which brings me to another idea

Well, deathman, twice I told you to play the map, you have responded once, but ignored what I asked. You're not going to get very far if you or your friends don't test the map.
Look.
Where is terran supposed to build? Where is toss supposed to build? How are you gonna move units around the map? How are you gonna even hope to win if you shoot down, or ignore suggestions people make?
I am quite annoyed that you post maps with such ignorance. I'm not going to waste my time. Read your PM.
Read this as well.

the gas placements are absolutely ugly. your minerals are still in chunks. Why are your mineral placements so symmetrical. Just take a look at a WGTour map or a blizzard map. Mineral placements aren't like that.

Open up a battlefield. Chokes like that dont work. No nat. Too many minerals, its just unplayable. You haven't shown me a rep yet. I'm not far away from closing this topic as well.

I'm sorry, as I said im working on the replay
ADDITION:
I just finished it but it wont let me save a replay...I can't play on multiplayer due to a freg-up on b.net.
ADDITION:
Either way I have noticed the following:
-Protoss have no space to manuever
-Comps build in places that they shouldn't (like in front of minerals)
-Terran Siege tanks conquer EVERYTHING because they scatter forces due to a lack of space to manuever

Good. Im glad you see that. Now a good way to fix something like that would be to open up the map, take out bridges, add more land (you may want to start a new map), etc. Thank you for finally stating what I've been trying to get out of you.
But still, you didn't mention the lack of building room. Thats what I thought was most obvious.

I tried to fatten up the expos in my latest version...The middle is designed for making a cc only so it's super hard to control.
PS: I removed the first bridges you encounter in my latest version.
PPS: I am also expierementing on a way to open up a battlefield (like unnatural bridges or less bridges in certain places)
ADDITION:
I was going to post those problems a lot sooner. I think I had closed SEN before posting and not realized...sorry.

A different solution to deleting bridges would be to make them wider, refer to Paranoid Andriod. Maybe you could do something like that, shorter distance to enemy base but harder choke. Longer distance and very wide bridge.
Also, dont put 2 geysers per expo, limit it to 1.
Low eco would be 5-6 min patch
Medium would be 7-8
High would be 9-10

Ok I was thinking about making bridges something like Paranoid Android but I still need to figure out the custom terrain thing on SCMDraft 0.0.3 (or whatever it is that IC is doing)
Im just wondering whats wrong with the Geysers?

Because it feels like a money map with dual gas at main. Opens a lot of turtling.

Turtling? Whats that?
Can I just leave the expos in the middle with two? They are supposed to be fought over the whole time so you hardly have any time to get anything out of the expo before it is taken by the enemy.

Turtling is kinda like one person just camps at his base, expand when needs to, and just masses units. Barely ever attacks. Usually found in the TvP matchup, where terran takes early expansion and turtles the rest of the game, then attacks with a final push
