One of my first good 'normal' maps, at least in my POV. The idea was to create a map with two 'hills' around the map edge, and I wanted to use custom ramps. However, Twilight isn't that custom ramp-friendly, so I had to resort to crushed rock.
Comments and suggestions welcome as always.

seems very terran friendly, nowhere for zerg to outexpo, or protoss for that matter
LaO-Artanis
Perhaps it's a bit friendly for T in TvP, but in TvZ zerg can walk really close to the terran base and get a doom drop off, and for terran to secure a lot of expoes, it needs to spread its forces out a lot, making a recall very effective.

look GMCS...minonly should be moved so esp. terran cant take it that easily - and it gets harder to defend because it is more exposed than. but you need to balance out the sidepath gasexpos.
LGI
The distance between players seems a little too long, but i haven't test in game.
LaO-Artanis
Played a few games on it, and I think terran can get 4 expos (2 of which are minonlies) too easily. gonna think of a solution to that one tomorrow.

Those two expos in the middle - doesn't their position (nearer the red than blue) doesn't favor red?
LaO-Artanis
It's not that much nearer, and the main entrance to the expo is coming from blue's direction, so there shouldn't be too much of a problem.
LaO-Artanis
Err, for the one on the left :P

Just make it symmetrical...
LaO-Artanis
symmetrical isn't my thing, it's too time-consuming for me, I don't have the patience for it, and I always find a way to fuck it up :P
spinesheath
Not exactly symmetrical, just the layout...

Some of those ramps look a little ugly... they need to be cleaned up a bit.
The exp in the new version will be rather hard to defend for Zerg... ZvT will be tough. PvT is probably OK.
flothefreak
i still think your minonlies must be moved onto the highground, for several reasons
Antares
so red does have both of the gasexpos closer to his main.. that is not good in my opinion, but i very like 1st nat placement :)
