No Xel'Naga tower sees the other side. The openness favors the 2 o'clock.
Screenshot with the changed doodads and texture.
Here you can see the Xel'Naga towers, that can see a bit of a base and almost the whole big bridge, and the semi-island gold expansion with rocks on both sides.
The cliff-walk distance to the bases is very short, and even shorter is the air distance. I fail to see how I could improve this without "mutilating" the map. :/

Except for the 4th expo, they're pretty much equal.

Equally distanced by ground and cliff-walk and almost the same distance by air. I'm happy with it. :)
The 1 o'clock's natural is ====== slightly ====== better defended. The 3rds and mains are almost equally balanced, but the 4ths and the gold expo are favoring the 2 o'clock. :/
Air dominates, as it was in the original. Cliff-walk is much shorter, but with the 1.1 patch I think it can be balanced in early game.
The name is self-explanatory,
Although it is absolutely balanced by resources, I can't get it more balanced by openness. ):

Bases of the map with their respective resources and average openness.
SAME distance. Fuck Yea.

Description
A try of updating one of my favorite maps of SC:BW to SC2.
The map isn't square because most of the buildings are one "unit" higher than their BW's counterpart, so in order to stay close to the original's area of construction, I had to do it taller than it should be.
The main differences from the original are:
- Rich minerals in a semi-island expansion, in the left lower corner;
- Xel'Naga towers on both sides of the big bridge;
- Weather doodads;
- Day/night cycle.
