Smack I'm not sure if you know this but you did the shoal's weird on this level, check the
corners, they arent symetrical like the rest of the map.

I think you might have actually done this on purpouse, I'm not sure. if you didnt you should fix
that sometime.
SmackCakes (10/26/2006 02:37am):
yeah both armies have their two shoals on the south side, it was done on purpose.

u didnt exactly solve first fta, just because os infantry starts on base doesnt giv bm the
advantage.

*wonders where Xns is*
SmackCakes (01/12/2007 06:48pm):
BM is able to capture and build from their forward base first to offset FTA.
satou (01/21/2007 04:18pm | Edited: 01/21/2007 04:18pm):
but still it has some FTA... just look at the map analysis...

I'm playing on it and OS still has the advantage

Although balancing it is difficult indeed...
SmackCakes (01/21/2007 08:32pm):
analysis always shows OS ahead by about two 3rds, even on the best maps because game
creators and better players tend to go for OS, and both are more likely to win and less
likely to get booted. but i need to make some changes anyway now sturm is added, so i'll
see what i can do to make BM better for everyone.
SmackCakes (06/08/2007 02:12pm):
okay i think i fixed the FTA here. i made the north and south bases neutral to prevent the
Sturm recon rush interrupting the middle base capture. Each side have a pre-deployed
infantry to capture this with (OS captures first). There is also a pre-deployed infantry
to capture the middle base, BM has a one day head start (BM captures first).

Because there is only one starting base, it was inappropriate for me to give BM an
additional infantry on their base. I still added it but in a fairly rotten position. I
added the black boat to bring it across so it should be able to start performing actions
by day 3 which is the same day OS finish capturing their first base. This should keep the
infantry numbers staggered. The extra 1k of infantry should also theoretically cover half
a day's funding for day one, and keep the funds staggered once it starts capturing.

I also gave OS a black boat but it has no real function other than to mirror BM. Though I
suppose it could still be used for repairs and to transport mechs or something.

SmackCakes (06/08/2007 03:41pm):
moved the black boats further away so transporting takes a little longer (for both sides)
Where no one knows (06/08/2007 06:13pm | Edited: 06/08/2007 06:14pm):
I would say remove BMs infantry in the top right. I'm not 100% sure, but I would say that the
BM infantry being one movement closer is a decent FTA counter, but the extra infantry is a
free 1000 funds thats just unecesary in my eyes. Overall an excellent Idea and map. 9/10(It
feels like an 8, but I give it a 9 to somewhat counter the deserved low ratings from before)

EDIT: I gave the 8 due to the chokepoints, and I severely dislike Bases so close together as
they are in the middle
SmackCakes (06/08/2007 07:20pm):
well OS gets 2k funding first so an extra 1k for BM doesn't seem so unfair. it's not like
he can really go anywhere, i think if you can be bothered to go and get him then you
probably deserve him. i've found the black boats are actually put to better use moving
infantry forward from the base.

as for chokes it isn't that bad. infantry and copters tend to be popular here and both can
move easily over the rivers.
Defuso (02/10/2008 05:39am):
The Black Boat of BM can reach his base on day 1 ... OS can't!
Fix that please!
GipFace (02/12/2008 04:55am):
The BM gunboat is in that position so that BM can take the south factory on day 2 if red
plays it safe and takes the city instead of moving up.
SmackCakes (02/17/2008 08:46pm):
That's right, the black boats are meant to be like that, Otherwise OS can gain an
advantage by transporting troops into the middle on day 2.
sulla (03/24/2008 10:10pm):
This is A ranked? This map is merely ok.
Meta Rexy (11/29/2008 06:36pm):
lol, mech spam in the center.
I like this map but the bases in the middle seem a bit too close...
Maybe you should move them back a little so that mechs can't reach the center in one turn...
Falconewing (02/25/2009 06:26pm):
Mhhh.
^^
CompleteDuck (06/23/2009 10:58pm):
Playing this game now... A lot of mech spam from OS, but im still winning right now. What
the hell is the point of the Black boats..
