I designed this map defensively, hence the first capture being as far away as it is, and
only having one unit invade a homeland at any one space (Changed - see below). Meant to
be played in FOW, I think, and you may have to ban ALL artillery to make this work right,
or else rockets and recons can wreck all kinds of havoc.
EDIT: Increased pipe width at the cost of development space. You may still need to ban
rockets, too, to prevent shooting across the pipes.)

(Oh, and you MUST ban either Hachi, piperunners, or both if you wish; piperunners ruin the
effect I want this map to have. Of course, since most people ban Hachi anyway, I guess
that's not much of a problem...)

Any and all suggestions to improve this map are very welcome.

Edit: Yay for comm towers! Won't make it THAT easy, though... (also done in response to
a suggestion for terrain variety in the middle.)

Edit the third: Once again, not gonna make it easy, but labs are now a part of the game.

Suggested CO bans: Big Five (CGHKS), Drake (optional), Sami recommended (advantage on
transports can really make a difference here), others at discretion of user
Suggested Unit Bans: STEALTH, piperunners (not much of problem if Hachi's banned, but
still...), Mega/Neo tanks/black bombs at user discretion
Suggested Lab Units: Rocket, B-Ship, Sub, Cruiser, Bomber, Neo/Mega (if not banned),
Black Bomb if not banned

Edit once more: A country has been changed (BH swapped in for RF), many but not all
countries have been moved around, reefs have been moved around, and a shoal area has been
added in the middle of everyone's port area.

Add reefs and more terrain variety in the two middle islands.

Your idea for the map makes it unplayable. If only one unit can get out at once, it is FAR
too easy to defend and the game won't ever end.

....Pretty bad map. Whoever gets the airport can just build undestroyable stealths. Also, a
ADvanced Wars is no fun without artilleries. A good map should not require such a major
ban.

MAJOR FAT

Hm...wait! Yay labs! Once the games on my map are over, I can make artillery/rockets lab
units. (The center city on the islands being neutral labs) Think that would improve this map?

Also, before I forget to address bakabonest...unless you're addicted to them...I think
stealths fall into the Hachi-Colin-Grit level of UBER-BAN. Ban stealths = problem solved.

See above for latest update.
DuelStriker (02/02/2008 07:44pm):
Hmm... is this a FFA or team game? As a FFA, it's pretty imbalanced. But if teams were north
vs south, the teams should be North: OS, YC, BH and AB vs South: BM, GE, GS and BD.
