Simple symmetrical 2v2 map. I think OS and BM are going to have a lot more to deal with than GE/YC, but the teams are a balanced against each other at least. Sort of a strong side/weak side where each side is a separate player, perhaps.

Tried to make sure the river isn't too chokepointy, by just making the centre of the map very wide and creating lots of small chokepoints rather than just one big one. Good luck trying to lock them all down if you're not Grit! Should work well in fog too, tried to make sure there are good forests for armies to cover some cities and recons to snoop around between.

Team order should go ABBA to be balanced. So team 1 is orange star and yellow comet. And
team 2 should be green earth and blue moon. I'd also recommend adding in a FTA counter

Did it this way around following Mangs' video. Can;t comment on how it would play but I can confirm that colour blindness is important lol. Might swap to two similarly-coloured faction on each side. Also, how would an FTA counter work on a 2v2 map exactly? For ABAB turn order I guess player 4 would get the extra infantry, but for ABBA I'm not sure how that would work. Players 3 and 4, maybe?

Swapping GE and YC around so that turn order is ABBA is the best way to do 2v2 maps as then you don't need an FTA counter :-) Mangs is great at most of what he does but sadly map-making advice isn't among it; he deleted his own map from the first AWBW map-making video he did, if I remember correctly! XD Factions can always be changed after the game has been set up but before it's launched, but if your colour-blindness impacts the factions you've put on as default you could change them. I partly make most of my maps WN vs BH for that reason, though mostly cos they're my favourite two! ^^;

Anyways, generally map is looking great! =D
