You definitly have talent, those are some beautiful maps, both aesthetically and balance wise. However, I think that requesting specific feedback on specific problems you are encountering will give you more and more useful replies to this kind of thread.
For example:
"I have a balance issue with ramp x (show picture) due to certain brood lord positioning, how would you solve this?"
Right now, there is just too much going on on your experiment that doesn't give us the information we need to give feedback (also because we cannot test the map ourselves).

Solving balance problems is hardly the problem. Noticing them is the part where I need the help.
I think I will publish some of my WIP maps so people can test it. Although I doubt anyone will really play it. |

| I would play the maps for sure if you need help looking for balance problems |

Thats how I plan the general mood of the map to be. Lighting is Meinhoff, Nature style is Haven. Do you like it? |

| Really like it so far! I would apply the same "overgrown" ideas you suggested in the Galapagos thread to this. |

I don´t know if it would fit. The theme of the manmade part of the map is not a city in ruins, so I´ll have to see if I can make it look good. |

I did my best to find anything problematic and maybe I did!
Are siegetanks (possibly colossi) able to fire over this rigde? if yes I think 3 siegetank timingpushes are going to cause nightmares for zerg as you can hug the tanks on this cliff and protect it with marines or transfer them safely (within siegerange like on taldarim's natural):
TDA has tank issues because there's some distance between where the tanks siege and where the defenders have to go in terms of the distance - on this map the tanks would be sieged right by the choke so you shouldn't have too many issues.

Also I'm kind of worried about FFE wallins could be hard to complete it before an early pool hits or you will have your ramp to your main uncovered:
Looks pretty standard for FFE and anyway you don't wall-in against early pools, you build a cannon in your main mineral line and sac the forge. |

I like both your names a lot! I think I might use them once I decide which way I go.
The map is currently published under Port Haven on [EU]. Doodads are not finished etc. |

I ask for your opinion on the small highgrounds in front of the 3rd. I think tanks might be too powerful in on them. While I don´t have problems with terran-favoured features I really don´t want to create anohter Antiga or Entombed - style turtle map.
Is the highground better with 2 ramps or with 3 ramps?

Me chobo, but I prefer two ramps it just looks nicer.
The thing is if there are 2-3 siegetanks on it you won't be able to kill it with lings only. Other units "only" need to have vision to attack it so I believe it's not a question of "ramp amount" but rather if the opponent can get vison on it. But to be honest it's really really hard to kill anyways. As the wise Starcraft 2 prophet Nostradamus once said :" a siegetank never comes alone"  So it better not be right next to an expand or something equally important 
*Edit: Oh! It is in front of an expand :/ I dunno....Last edit: 2012-07-10 01:01:10 |

| It is not in range of an expand. It would work fine if the terran is on the offensive but it is extremely strong if the terran is defensive. Btw, 3 ramps would generally look as good, in the 3 ramp version I just did´t change the textures at all. Last edit: 2012-07-10 01:07:16 |

True! I just took a closer look, I first thought you would change the cliffs just by the thirds (where you still can drop tanks on ). It's fine with two then I believe.
Now that I think of it, I would place some doods on that cliff (the close one, not the one with ramps) an make it unpathable. Else you can cut of reinforcements from the natural and pressure the third, even if the actual dropped tanks can't reach the base. On the other hand you said you wanted to make a terran favored map ^_^.
again edit: The third ramp also increases the amount of stuff you can place on the highground and terrans will be happy about it Last edit: 2012-07-10 01:17:28 |

| Updated. I feel like I slightly overdid the variety of textures on the manmade part. Tell me what you think. |

The quality of my aesthetic work has been rather stagnant since I started releasing maps on TL. I actually consider the aesthetics of Incandescence to be far better than on the map I am currently working on. While the current map is just a cute mix of already existing styles Incandescence actually has some unique features. |
