Postmortem over the version 1, in case anyone cares:
- My original idea of a higher tier CO vs lower tier sounds fun to me on paper, but it's hard to enforce. So I found it to be
easier with map advantage. Maybe not as fun, but is what it is.
- As such, the map is much more "balanced" I hope. Boss player has a com tower, one neutral city for the grabs and an
infantry at the base.
- Green is the last, so he gets an infantry, but at the weak side.
- Version 1, each player had one factory at the centre, which I found it boring. Doubling might lead to some infantry issues,
so I'm still not sure how to improve it entirely.
- Lots of options; centre has a sweat base meant for tie breaks. Sides have airports to make pressure. And around centre
has ports that can have many uses if the player has the cash for it.
Hope it's better than last version!

2.1 Version:
- Changed for no head start from any team. Before the lone player had +1 city and a com tower, didn't work out. That player
quickly became too oppressive.

Forgot to mention above, but meant for 1 x 2 fog

2.2:
- Added a city for the opposing players so red can't head start with tech up
- Added pipe seams for corners so players can have a easier access to airports

Notes for future 2.4:
- Remove red's South infantries
- Swap com towers with airports and airport for com tower
- Change middle roads around base for forest so it delays whatever comes out of it
- Reduce number of red's factories for 3 in the North but keep number of properties

2.5 moved away the cities from red.

And that's gonna be the last update to this for a while. I think it's somewhat balanced, just because it's so small, starters matter
a lot.
Not perfect, but one of the best out there if may I say, for 1x2.

Special note, as right now, because the map was edited several times, it bugs on weather change.
