My first attempt at a standard 1v1 map. It has a lot of rough terrain and cities, so I imagine CO's like Lash might have an
advantage. I tried to balance this by having roads in the middle. Would love some feedback from people who have tested it.

In general, high density of heavy terrain combined with relatively narrow lanes is going to make indirects very strong. In
addition, 4 bases per side means a lot of extra infantry spam. These two traits combined are likely to make the map feel pretty
grindy and stallish (especially if played in fog).

I recommend removing one base per side, and removing some heavy terrain from the contested areas to encourage more
attacking play. One other point is that it's nice to move the HQs forward a little so that a losing side can't stall a long time before
the game ends.

I Think this Map is Closer to An Andy map than Lash one
Andy wants To: Tech Up and Create Walls

The tight Corridors Means that Units mostly Just get Harmed Instead of Killed (Very few/No 2HKOs Available due to Bottlenecking) which In turn Means he can Repair it Back (If Powers available)

The amount Of cities Make it easier For him to Tech Up and Spam Heavy tanks Along with Infantry, Because of the Heavy terrain Those Infantry can Easily survive At Low Health (Another Repairable Unit) And help Him wall Up

Lash Dislikes Airports, Also Air would be Quite strong Having Pretty strong "Hiding" Places (Like Mountain Diamond @ 07,13)

Overall Looks like a Slow Arty Party Stall map

Lots of strong positions for indirects here. I like the base that is close to the middle which can get your units into the action in
the center quickly, although I could definitely see how having four bases was too much.

Pretty interesting map. I'll have try a game on it with a friend soon

Did someone say STALL MAP and not summon me to evaluate it?
rhettorical (11/17/2021 06:56pm):
Played a game on every tier and it's not quite as stally as I was hoping for. As in, the map itself is not what causes the stall. If
you build a wall of indirects, you can stall out the match, as it's really easy to get your indirects in solid defensible positions.
There are too many Bases and not enough Airports to stop that. If neither player builds indirects, though, it's just an ok map.

If I were to redesign it to resolve the stall issue, I would turn the neutral base near each HQ into an Airport, and turn two of the
central Cities into Bases to create more hotly contested territory. I would also not move the HQs closer to the middle, and more
importantly, away from Bases to make them harder to defend.

Hey mangs since this is your first map what if you fixed it by making it a v2? Also what happened to the map you created on
your youtube vid Mangs error? I cant find it on either this or your other main account. :(
