This is try #2 at map making for me, the first one that I made just ended up too large, and made me very sad inside. It wasn't what I was aiming for at all. Plus, who wants a map that makes you sad inside? right.
Anyway, I took what I could from the feedback on that map, and put together a new one, with some similar features, but smaller, and few issues fixed up. Oh, and the best part? It makes me happy inside. Just incase you care, eh. So, now I need feedback on this map, it's on the same tileset that I used on my other one, if it happens to look familiar.

Overview:
Overview with explanation:
Legend:
Red - Start location
Black - Destructible Rocks
White - LOS blockers
Yellow/Green - Watchtower/watchtower range
Blue - Odd gold/blue mineral mix expo
Features:
- Easily defended natural, with tight choke and overlooking cliff from the main
- Destructible backdoor rocks to the main and natural, because trying to push through that choke would be just stupid with tanks on the cliff. Like srsly, completely ridiculous.
- Destructible rocks blocking the... kinda.. sorta.. high yield expo. We've all seen what those Terran players like to pull, I'm not down for those shananigans. That would be a long ass way to fly, anyway.
- LOS blockers around the little lakes to prevent those pesky siege units from abusing them too much.
- Single watchtower in middle, makes holding midground advantageous.
- Lots of open ground between the 12 and 6 expo's, and down around the high yields.
