In general I dislike terrain that enables easy artillery locking of bases. Brown can
disrupt the capture of Green's third base and proceed to artillery lock it, putting him at
a severe disadvantage in the early mid game.

Orange can also artillery lock jade's base, and battleship lock Black's northern base if
he so chooses, with no counterplay aside from air units.

Brown is the only player Black can fight in the early game due to the terrain. I would
like to see a land front develop between black and orange/jade to help encourage a
healthier FFA (and remove the battleship locking issues).

I would also point out the fact that turns to capture the third base for each player are also very different.
OS, GE, AB, and CI all get to their third base on turn 2.
BM, YC, RF, GS, BD, JS, PC, and PL get it on turn 3.
And Black Hole gets it on a RIDICULOUS 4 turns, putting them in a massive disadvantage.
Every country should get their third bases either in 2 or 3 turns all at the same time.

Meta's also right about the mobility, some more open spaces or connections between enemies would make this more dynamic.

I love FFA maps with heavy naval use so I gave this a 6, but if you improve these issues on v3, I'd bump that up to a 9.
