For fog

The difficulty of balancing a map with an entire row of teleport tiles stems from our
tendency to favour a balance of strong and weak fronts. Here, I'm seeing just one giant
front. I think if the central terrain was more difficult and better divided the fronts,
it would require players to be more committal with their unit movements.

Edit: I noticed the map edits made since this comment. This does look interesting. The
use of transports may turn the center into a meat grinder since units unloaded as close
to the center as possible can attack enemy units that also just unloaded in one turn.
You may want to introduce a barrier between the landing zones to avoid this. That, or
the landing zones should be pushed back (they detract from the teleport tile shtick
anyway)

Update: Took Meta's advice (twice) and added a bridge between the mountains to prevent lander shenanigans. Also changed
the layout of the cities near each HQ to feel less claustrophobic.
