This is a fog of war map.

I'm not sure about the purpose of the black boats on these maps. Am I missing something?
TheGamerASD (05/19/2022 03:08pm):
The black boats can be used to boost infantry units 1 tile further by loading the infantry into the black boat and unloading it.
Quickslow87 (05/23/2022 12:25am):
In T3, this is a Kindle map. I don’t see how any other CO can be used to contest the comm tower areas.
smithr652 (06/04/2022 01:53am):
Yes, but what is the point of the black boat? The infantry will start capturing the base in 2 turns regardless if you try to use it
or let it sit there, doing sweet FA. Everything there can be reached from a base in 2 turns.

Overall, this looks like a fairly boring map. No mountains you can utilize for vision, so recons are essential for vision. No
real potential for indirect zoning, as there aren't any forests within artillery range from a city, so controlling the center means
piling up tanks and rushing them forward. I do like the roads that lead straight into the center. Olaf and Drake become
slightly less annoying, and indirects will reach the center without much delay. (if you build them for whatever reason)
jlau170 (06/06/2022 12:51pm):
There's also the threat of a day 5 or 6 HQ rush which is always a threat. With the mountain and forests, you have to gamble
whether to defend it or not with your weak side base.

Is this map what happens when you stick a Kick Me sign to the back of your HQ
Swagmaster (06/09/2022 04:54pm | Edited: 07/29/2022 04:05am):
It looks like a mix of Redemption World and Tornado Road.

The black boat helps boosting your infantry along the game, so they reach locations faster. Sami is obviously quite
overpowered in this map, not only is it short, but the boosting means her infantry on the right always get earlier in
combat/capturing. The only thing that helps against her is that the HQ is quite safe, for the most part.
Jo_Slamma_Jamma (06/24/2022 12:11am):
I don't understand why players don't build artillery here as often as they should. Well placed artilleries makes pushing the
enemy's weak side and defending your weak side super easy. Players also tend to make the mistake of focusing on the
center properties, literally leaving their comm tower and city beside it easy to take. And why do they not break the pipe as
well? It makes defending your weak side so much more doable, also every time I've parked a recon in the forest beside it so
many times, having vision of what comes out of their weak side's base, and it's not a problem because again, they don't
break the pipe at all, so it's rarely ever threatened of being dislodged.

She sells shoalseas by the sea shore
But they weren't too popular
So she sells shoalseas no more

Slightly modified Vadum of Valhalla is what I'm seeing.
LowLinKing (12/20/2022 01:46pm):
Black Boat can be used to magnet Sturm/Rachel powers, something people don't often consider
evmaster1 (01/08/2023 07:34am):
Switch the colors of the black boats to turn them into liability that must either be destroyed early using artillery investment (also
feeding your opponent meter) or ignored into late game where they'll allow your opponents safer passage to your HQ.
Quickslow87 (01/16/2023 09:51pm):
Is an HQ black boat truly necessary? The possibility of a mid-game surprise HQ cap with Sami will be missed.
Zeitghast (01/28/2023 03:48am):
That's the point of black boat, to avoid infantry rushes
Valior (07/20/2024 08:29pm | Edited: 07/20/2024 08:33pm):
Kindle is busted on this map, can safely get com towers cause there is a city next to it, can get both of em, hq is next to a city,
use power, black boat loses 3hp, than hit with b-copter, it's at 5hp, can prepare to capture it fast, ggwp

remove kindle from T3 on this one, thank you

just HQ cheese
IronNaija (03/08/2025 06:55pm):
Map is unbalanced, player 1 can safely interrupt the comm tower capture of player 2. If the map had a forest and plane tile on
the 2 base side it could stop day 3 recond cheese from player 1.
