need a name for a map i created. kinda foresty with a fountain/whatchamacallit in the middle. also will appreciate suggestions on balance, terrain, doodads, whatever.
@CheddarChee5e: Go As it has Protoss-made cliffs and doodads I'd use some Protoss name, but not Aiur, everybody uses Aiur to name Protoss maps. So I suggest Antioch, a province in Aiur's main continent. I can only think Antioch Gardens, but I don't like it.
And what about the shape of your map? Have you ever considered a name related to the ring/circle/halo in the middle? I'd start with Ring of the Heavens or something similar, because the ambiance is kind of celestial... Altar of the Stars, Ethereal Portal, The Origin, Point Zero (Gardens), The Ring from Eden, Eden Summit,...
About balance and terrain, I don't see the point of this little path surrounding one of the bases. Unless this base is gold, no one would ever risk going there. Either that, or you should remove the rocks on the ramp, and mirror the whole base so that the ramp is on the other side. I would probably also add a curtain to cut in half each dirt path next to the Xel'Naga towers. You could add more density to the foliage and limit its placement only to grass bits, leaving the roads clean (except a few spots). Some bushes and rocks placed at random could be nice as well, it will somehow break the (pathing) symmetry without making the map unbalanced. Maybe a few arches, ruins, and animals could also be placed away from the center ring. Probably not my best idea but it's worth testing...
added more foliage and doodads, added curtain. i think im gonna leave the path behind the base for now (temporarily) until i find a better solution (i knew that path will become a problem!!!). Love ur ideas on the names. ring of heavens, altar of the stars, the origin, point zero. prob gonna work something out from there. thanks a bunch! :D

@SoulFilcher:
antioch gardens doesnt sound so bad. i guess that will be my backup plan if i cant get anything else.
