New Mixed Base map for standard. Equal income = 21k. Thanks for the help Discord folk (Walker especially)!

11/29/23 Update:
Shifted the airports one tile back into the corner so B-copters can no longer reach the middle bases in 2 turns. This is to help
prevent STA since P2 typically can afford the first B-copter. We’ll see how it affects the win rates!
Meta Rexy (12/21/2023 03:15am):
Even with your adjustment, Adder can enable copters to reach the weak base in two turns. It's no wonder he seems to be the most popular T4 CO.
Daddymacsac (12/21/2023 09:48pm):
Yeah it’s a fair point. Mechs also seem to be pretty viable on this map plus it’s just a mixed base map in general which both
lean towards Adder being pretty good here. He’s probably the best tier 4 CO I would guess. Still a decent number of plains
and potential artillery plays make Jake alright here as well I think, but personally I’m an Adder fanboy and probably picking
him every time.
Daddymacsac (04/06/2024 07:09pm):
Changed the pre-owned airports to neutral & added a pre-owned city to fix STA with copter opening.
Daddymacsac (04/16/2024 07:22pm | Edited: 04/16/2024 07:23pm):
Fixed issue with D3 Recon FTA (removed roads leading up to comm tower) and replaced river tile with shoal tile at [11,06] and
[9,10] to slow down base trade scenario a bit. Also changed to Desert theme since it looks sick and people may be tempted to
drink the water.

Congrats on GL tag!
Legion of Skanks (09/04/2024 06:02pm):
I think it would have to be a pretty unusual mixed base map if Adder wasn't the strongest T4 pick.
Legion of Skanks (09/04/2024 06:11pm):
I like the comm tower placement. I'm happy to see another mixed base map in the GL pool. I never check the map list, so
maybe it's just been luck of the draw, but it's been a loong time since I got one.
LooseLazuli (09/15/2024 10:52am):
This is the worst mixed base map I've played on. Normally I can win on a map fairly consistently once I've "figured" it out, but it
seems like figuring out the code to this map is more complicated than trigonometry. Even using Move Planner and having
someone advise me, I couldn't pull off a win even though I was pulling off good tactics and my opponent screwed up. Do us all
a favor and take this out of GL, but with some tweaking it could be a fun casual map.
Daddymacsac (09/15/2024 04:08pm):
Interesting take LooseLazuli! Maybe you should find a different person to advise you on your moves. ;)
bukie (09/18/2024 11:17pm):
For anyone coming here to complain, I think you just have to accept that you lose the center base every time. It's a trap to try and keep it. As a result, you need to get their center base too.

Bad map just got even worse for global league.
若桜_椎名千鶴 (12/14/2024 11:16am):
Playing as OS. Just finished my Day 4, and realized that my opponent's Sami could capture one of my labs on Day 6 and the
other on Day 7. I did make a mistake, but wasn't expecting a day 4 mistake to be that fatal.

That map is just awful and cheesy and extremely boring to play.
Kess21 (02/06/2025 12:48pm):
i will praise the day this map gets kicked out of the Global League
Owaain776 (02/08/2025 07:14am):
Really good mixed base. It's a pretty scary map to play due to how quickly things can get out of control. It also forces you to
manage your offensive on the central base since taking too long might allow the other player to reinforce their positions while
rushing unprepared would be costly and unreliable.
Owaain776 (02/08/2025 07:14am | Edited: 02/08/2025 08:30am):
My comment somehow got posted twice, I'm editing the second one out
TheAntithesis (03/25/2025 02:18pm):
The labs are way too exposed. I just won a Global League game on Day 8 with lab cap that was impossible to stop from Day 6. That should not happen against a non-700-rated opponent, especially when not playing as Sami.
WailingSpider (03/27/2025 01:20pm | Edited: 10/23/2025 01:20am):
Everytime I play this map it's Adder or Javier comm tower rush all in. Boring and gets tedious
quickly. Can't recommend because every game is the same
WailingSpider (03/27/2025 01:22pm | Edited: 10/23/2025 01:15am):
Comment got repeated due to site issues. Editing the others out.
WailingSpider (03/27/2025 01:22pm | Edited: 10/23/2025 01:16am):

Unfortunately a very awful mixed base map.
It would probably be decent if it werent mixed base.
1/10
