Design Goals:
- Make naval units financially viable without sacrificing ground and air combat too much
-- High number of starting properties, with infantry to speed up capt phase (also provides some scouting info)
-- big bay with contested properties to incentivize combat
-- battleships can contest center and top island without completely zoning out either
- Promote combat between all three move types
-- air/ground and ground/ground on land
-- air/naval and naval/naval in the bay
-- naval/ground and ground/ground on island
-- all three in center
-prevent stalemate via late game counters
-- comm tower islands are a pain to get to, and black bombs punish predictability (e.g. early game Javier), with tank
scout to delay it further
-- Missile island is also a pain to get to and surrounded by pipe seams, which should alert opponent if someone tries to
use it early via artillery.
-- a determined player could potentially HQ cap with the back route. cannot be interrupted from center base w/o
movement boost
-- opponents comm tower island can be stolen via same route, and could be guarded with unused black bomb, but it will
be scouted by sub

Potential Concerns:
- Adder might be uncontested pick of T4, tried to open up some more plains for jake but idk
- COs with good COP or SCOP, esp global damage, are gonna have a field day when expensive units start trading
- Eagle and Drake might be OP but air and sea should both be important enough
- Sturm recons might be OP as usual, but opponents should have enough funds for tanks to shut that down
- Grit should be weaker on land, but battleships and carriers might be busted, albiet expensive
- 2T Javier might be too strong, even with comm tower island countermeasures
- Kindle will probably be as strong as usual
