Default I've started this and I'd love to see it finished...

Yeah, I love designing maps in Paint.net, but absolutely suck at actually using the map editor. I've got some ideas and rough drafts for maps, that I imagine would be very fun to play on.
Pic is the map I've designed:

It probably needs to be shrunk a bit to be fair...
The two platforms on the top left and right are where bases would be, with the tunnels to the immediate left and right respectively would be filled with turrets so only the team could use them, and to bomb, you would need to make a treacherous run down and around.
Any feedback and or edits are very welcome, and I would love to see this turned into a map some day!

Any opinions of the map at all so far?

Making a base up high already puts a team at a major disadvantage for bombing. This is because of reduced speed while climbing with the bomb and the fact that you can't lob it at the base because it is above you. If you combine that with making only one possible bombing route then a map like this would most likely result in a massive stalemate lasting a long long time. I don't mean to tear down your idea but I think that it just pushes some things too far. Maps are interesting when they have complex routes and various objects, but when that turns into basically an impossible death trap that can be easily defended by a single explodet then I think it's time to take another look at the design.

Thank you very much for the criticism, I'll take that into consideration in the future
