Really don't like this map. Asymmetrical and too easy to control mid and the game. Also you pretty much have to go spiders because of terrain as well.

Nope

Really. Well perhaps I haven't played enough games on it. I am biased against grossly asymmetrical maps as well.

I think top has a small advantage. The first mexes after the initial 3 are easier to defend.

Also, when walking straight to the center (with you commander for example) there are easy to grab mexes. The south player will need to take a bit of a detour to get his.

This map seems to have obnoxiously high speccmap or something. Units are almost pure white.



Too bright/shiny units.

What engine are you using _Shaman? I'll test with a skirmish

Maps have a unit specular color setting which can be different from other light colors. It's stupid because if you use it then you get derpy, unrealistic lighting or issues like this, but it is a thing.
