Popular maps I have made and/or worked on: -Poker Defense- SquadTD -MineralZ Evolution-
Only way to get your map to be popular is to get people to play it, and then make them want to continue playing it. All popular maps are either really fun or have a replayability to them. Some have both! Earning and unlocking things inside your game the more they play it is one way to add replayability. I haven't played your map yet so I just talking in general. Your map needs to get their attention with a name that makes me want to try it when I see it in open games. Protect the fortress.... doesn't do it for me. Not saying I wont try it, just saying the name along doesn't grab my attention. Popularity is based on amount of hours played and they reset the hours often nowadays. So the longer your map takes to win, with people staying in of course, the more hours your map will be able to rack up. Having 6 or more players be able to play at a time helps, as most games will have 1-2 people drop early for various reasons. When you are online sit the lobby so new players will see it in open games section, again this the reason you want your name to grab their attention. You can also go to different chats and try and grab people. But ultimately there isnt much you can do but hope and pray people will like/love your creation. If they do it will be popular, and if they don't you can always try again....
Glad we could help each other then. If you ever need to be inspired just let me know. I have another popular map -MineralZ Evolution- It could use some love as well if you ever get bored one of these days.
P.S. the platforms don't have to be race specific. It's okay if some are but they don't have to be as you will have all three races and some hybrid creations on platforms.
Here are a few quick ideas. But honestly you can use your own imagination here. Combining Different units/races together to form cool looking hybrid units.
I also have a feature in the game where you can merge different units together. Let Two marines and two roaches make an Infested marine.
If you were up for it I would love some crazy race merged models. I could make you some examples if you are interested. Just let me know.
Units would only need stand and attack animations. They can't die or move.

No Levitahan is clearly the Zerg Carrier... it even has scorge like units that leave the leavitahan to attack.\
I think it would be cool to see a Zerg BC in where it's more like a flying building for the zerg than a living unit.

Yeah and it looks cool, figured I put the image up in case it inspired him to make something like a Terran carrier or Zerg BC

Perfect! That is exactly what I had in my head! I can already see it with the protoss gold texture. Where did you learn how to do this?

Well depends what you are in the mood to make.
If you want to make the platforms these units are standing on, or something like that. http://sc2pod.com/img/gallery/preview/1069.jpg http://sc2pod.com/img/gallery/preview/1070.jpg

Fan Art I found that has units on platforms that would be great.
