Official Map Description

Team play map, you share a fortress with your allies. The middle route offers the quickest path to your opponents, but the side routes are rich with resources and provide an element of surprise.

Notable Features

• The three main bases are situated in one raised area with a single large ramp directly in front of the center player's starting location, allowing for easy team defense.
• The map features 2 easily defended natural expansions protected by the main base on 3 sides, with a split choke point akin to that on Xel'Naga Caverns, however there is no natural base for one player each team.
• There are two Xel'Naga towers located near the center of the map on raised areas that each have one ramp directed towards one main base.
• The design of the central raised areas makes it nearly impossible for one team to control the side with the ramp that their opponent controls. The lack of ramp and presence of the Xel'Naga tower can make these very defensible expansions against most armies, but their outlying position can be abused by air units/drops or long range units with vision (e.g. colossi, siege tanks.)
• There are two gold bases containing Xel'Naga towers located at the outer edges of the mid-line of the map on low ground, initially blocked by rocks and accessed from the two side bases.
