Notes
This is my first attempt at a four player rotational symmetry, I've tried to stay away from it for as long as I could (what with rampant positional imbalances and whatnot). But here it is at any rate. Enjoy.

i think you need to widen the main ramp to the natural 3rd, or take out the rocks on the secondary. It looks a little too easy to hold the 3rd atm, but other than that very cool

This map smacks alot of Entombed Valley in the initial first 3 base layout and 'central' fourth.

The rush distance looks tiny though, would you happen to have the travel time? It just seems like nat-third is WAY too close in most positions

With the current rock set up it tested cross positions being 50 seconds from main ramp to main ramp.

Edit: That is with a worker unit.

The only criticism I have is that you should make the ramp leading up to the 3rd bigger. Other than that this is a solid, quite pretty map. I like the highgrounds reachhing far into the middle.

Seems a little too small. And you could use blink stalkers to really abuse the back of the main base. Harrassing seems really easy on this map.

I agree that it feels a bit too small and will probably be spreading out the four spawns further, increasing the openness between the thirds.

Also will likely move the mains mineral lines away from the open cliff, figured it will be too abusable by tanks and the like aswell.

In my opinion the map is big enough. Moving the minerals away from the edge seems to be a good idea though.

Right now a third for a counter-clockwise spawning player is much easier than a clockwise spawning player due to the rocks to the left of the natural. Have you considered deleting those ones? Or making the ramp a little wider than the rocks to let units get a better surround on the rocks?

I hope a map like this gets into circulation, it's BEAUTIFUL.

This. Also i think there should be a gap between this base and the main above as to avoid pylon abuse by the other player, as well as reduce the effectiveness of blink stalkers.

An excellent map overall. Well played. Why no analyser pics ? I'd like to know the rush distances especially.

The main-main distance is fine. What is the nat-third distance. That is what seems too small.

playing vs mech on this map .__.

Just depressing, you have no movement area, 2 steps left and he's sieging your 3rd unless it's cross spawn only. this is even worse than entombed valley. To pull something like this off the map has to be a lot bigger

Increased the bounds of the map and spread the four spawns out, which increased the gaps between each spawn by 5 squares.

Some pictures outside the natural/third to show the difference. Before and After.

Also rearranged the rocks and moved the main's mineral lines. Will update OP once I've fixed the aesthetics on the map.

I'll wait to see what it gives (: don't forget to remove the rocks and fix the alternate third !

oh wow, this is the best map ive seen in a long time. kickass textures and finally someone makes a natural setup thats not a ripoff of funcomodes sanct map, seriously the last 30 maps have had that same split natural ramp deal.

Just saw something that rprobably shouldn't have taken me this long.

The whole main mineral line is siegeable from the third underneath ^^

Updated to version 1.4.

Notable changes are:
- Map bounds increased with each "quadrant" spread apart.
- The main mineral line has been moved.
- Rocks outside natural have been moved.
- Central ramp to third has had its width increased.

With these changes I hoped to open the map out beyond your "fortress" which I consider to be the main-nat-centralthird in this map. And make it easier for a player spawning counter-clockwise from the enemy.

Thanks for the feedback so far

Looks good, love the aesthetics. But is that a swastika in the middle? :o
I'm probably just seeing things.
