Nice.
Lots of different terrain, and the way you made those expoes is also pretty nice - thought i dislike the middle expo, i think it's pretty useless and it looks so standard.

I couldn't find any imbalanced, though maybe purple is closer to the bottom right expo than teal.

I really like the concept!
I found a few things, but nothing major ^^.
Min walls for vertical bases have a bigga gap, about 1.5*bigga than horiz.
upper cc doodad area has 4 min fields, but other doesnt...
And i lolled at the random oil blob, thx for that ^^.
I like the neo forte style mass mineral wallz all over the place.

agree with teh other moderator.

Just had a thought, purples natural minerals are harrasable from the map centre, other players naturals are not.

Never even thought of that (actually red's are harassable too, but that's bad.)

I'll fix it when I have time. Thx for the find, dude.

I'm not concerned with the huge min walls. The drawback is more aesthetics than functionality.

The doodad mineral fields are irrelevant. They have no real tacticaladvantage/disadvantage.

The biggest problem, in my own opinion, is that it's imba for Z. Z doesnt have a FE that will cover their choke. That means the only way to have the same defense as you would in, say, luna or LT, would be for you to go 3-hat, which is a mass ling build, and easily countered.

That's not to say that Z cant defend themselves. It'll just be a little harder.
