StarCraft 2 Melee Map Contest

good visuals, but TOO MANY DOODADS

needs improvements to balance the sides

Aesthetically I would give this map 5/5. Very nice use of doodads (the volcano in the middle with the lavafalls looks awesome). My only issue here is the "random height" (hills) might be a bit exaggerated, especially on the man-made cliff sections.

However, the layout is significantly different on one side of the map than the other - which, while it looks nice, it could potentially result in biased spawn locations (I would estimate the top spawn to be more powerful than the bottom spawn). I also think the middle gold expansions are a bit too powerful, with 16 high-yield mineral nodes in such close proximity. Because of these factors, I would rate the competitive factor of this map 3/5.

Overall rating: 4/5

This map could have been an excellent one, but some thing just make it unfair. It is a great idea to make such a map, and you just did a good job making it.

+ The map has great looking terrain and doodads.
+ Good use of natural vs manmade terrain.
- Some mineral and terrain placement makes it an uneven fight.
