I think the inf is on the wrong base for P2. You really want the top base to grab the city that's in-between the two bases so that
the bottom base can get to the airport/backwards city without delaying any income. With the inf where it is now, P2 has to
choose to delay one or the other, while P1 does not.

You might also want to consider putting a bboat on the HQ and cutting it off from the main ocean by bordering the HQ with
bridges instead of shoals. I'm a bit worried about HQ exposure since the wall of mountains takes a lot longer for the defending
player to switch across than the attacker.

Thanks for the feedback. I changed the area around the HQ, added B-Boats and adjusted the infantry position for P2.

Best base light I've played. The area around the comm-towers creates some very interesting tactics.

10/10

Interesting map. I like it.
Capture limit seems slightly high. If even income is 19k, I think 26k would be a better capture limit than 27k.

I'm sorry, but this is one of the worst maps I've ever played.

EDIT: Removed the salt

Not sure why people dislike this map. Maybe its only fine in low elo or sth, but the com tower contests feel fresh and games on
here feel unique to me so far.

Maybe some forests at 8,10 9,10 and 8,5 9,5 to make rotating from the center harder since the player who wins the center
rotates too easily? Not sure

I'm not sure why people dislike this map, I had a blast first time I played it on live. It's not a 10/10, but I'm rating 10/10 to
counterbalance negative reviewbombing.

I think it's better to rename this map. Whoever can randomly get P1 will win

P1 can use the airport faster without affecting income,

In addition,

Hey, who gave the A-Rank?

I was really unlucky to be randomly assigned to P2 in a Live League match.

Literally every map has Copter TA. It's physically impossible not to have some amount of turn advantage on every production facility; that's how turn based games work.
