Sensei is really good on this map

If BH is only allowed to build inf and mech, maybe BH choose Hachi is more balanced game. Sensei is broken (zombies
should cost something).
BTW, is there a non-lose strategy such that sturm put a MegaTank (not KO mech in one shot.) over HQ, and set 4 black-boats
in 4 ports(for sufficient money to repair the mega tank).

Artillery is overpowered on this map.

A zombies map that is actually good. Artillery are meant to be strong, but when BH is Sensei and can spam steroid boosted mechs every 2-3 turns, the allies will need all the help they can get.

Kindle can 1HK zombies with her artillery, rockets, and city camping MD tanks, which is invaluable here. Lash is also pretty good, for similar reasons.

I think the map would benefit from a couple less pipe seams. Once Black breaks them all, it turns into a wide open map with no cover at all for artillery, and then it's only a matter of time before one player gets overwhelmed. Namely, the pipe seams beside the corner silo tiles for Green and Yellow should be turned into pipes. This would be consistent with the other corner silo pipes for Orange and Blue.

Ban Javier or the 3 comm towers will break the game.

In retrospect, the allies would be wise not to waste the missile silos by firing them too early. If
you're not hitting at least 7 or 8 mechs, you're not getting the most utility out of it. After multiple
waves of Mechs from Sensei SCOP break open all the pipe seams, it's very easy for allies to be
overrun, and you'll need all the help you can get.

Another retrospect comment. I think the ability of the allies to prevent Sensei from
capturing some of the neutral bases (by rushing them with the pre deployed units) is a
little overpowered in a zombie defense map. While it's fun to see them sucker punch
him before the flooding starts, it really isn't in the spirit of the map for high aggression
in the first week to be rewarded lol.

The solution is easy - switch the bases closer to allied rockets so they're pre-owned by
Sensei, while the bases closer to the corners should become neutral. This would
discourage allies from breaking pipe seams early, rather than waiting for the right
moment to strike.
