I wanted to try a method where I first make symmetrical terrain, then decide where to put the players and expos, as opposed to starting from the players' mains. I think this came out rather well. Comments and help are greatly appreciated.

The largest part of this map is completely unavailable and useless for gameplay. Especially the top right and left.

Creating a terrain and putting bases/expoes then is a bad way to make maps. To place starting locations and build a map around is no good either, actually.
A good map should be planned around a concept, ideally you are able to draw it out on paper before you start mapping.

This map imo is, sry to be so direct - nothing.

It did this technique, it works i made some maps this way in fact the more players your working with this is perfect way to make a map most of the time.
