StarCraft 2 Melee Map Contest

the map size is acceptable in my oppinion, the design is good, straight lined

First off, I think your doodads aren't bad and I like your textures. The map is symmetrical with the exception of a few mineral fields being placed differently.

Now, to improve your map, I think you need to reduce the size... because it's a huge map right now for 4 players. Also, even though the main bases look like a good size, they are really large too. In fact, the island bases are even larger than a regular base. I've done a fair bit of experimenting with base sizes, and the main should contain about 1024 blocks (32x32 or equivalent). One more thing... I do like your layout for the battlefield (towers, pathing, competitive minerals), but once again it's a little too large. This means zerg will more likely win a fight, so it's a tad unbalanced.
