Original map by Bum: https://awbw.amarriner.com/prevmaps.php?maps_id=124215

Quickly edited in time scramble to place BBoats on the labs to prevent the super secret fog openers. Once again all credits to
Bum for the map.

This feels quite lopsided towards yellow. One turn behind on the weak side base vs one turn ahead on both strong side flanks - plus the extra income from going first. Since this map's dynamic seems very "bum rush the weak side", this leads to each weak side being 1 turn "behind" its respective opposing bases. Yellow gets an opportunity to rush black, and black gets "the same opportunity" to rush yellow, but one turn behind. Seems like yellow would always get the first vehicles etc.

Starting black with the city 3 tiles from yellow's bottom-right base could offset the income discrepancy a bit, at least (+2000g), and could help black defend a bit against early pressure. I'm not sure it'd be enough, but it'd be something.

Alternatively to my above comment, black starting with another infantry - likely on the base closer to their lab - could work.
