Another addition to the Conic Nomad series with a map of a fictional world called Amazonia, inspired by the rain forests and jungles of South America and Asia, with more land mass than previous maps in the series to allow for more player movement and navigation. Projection is based on an equal-area conic projection centered on the north pole. The projection maintains the area and shape of the continents as found on a 3D globe with minimal disruption to the distances and distortion at the extremes. The teleport tiles at the top help represent world wrapping on the 2D plane.

Objective:
Capture the most land mass before the timer expires, or, eliminate the competition!
In the non-play area (pipes), each player has an FTA counter and a tech-tree

FTA:
The 16 players are broken up into four brackets:
(P1 - P4): 1st infantry to the map turn 1, 2nd infantry on turn 4, or 5 if the FTA city is capped.
(P5 - P8): 1st infantry to the map turn 1, 2nd infantry on turn 3, or 4 if the FTA city is capped.
(P9 - P12): 1st infantry to the map turn 1, 2nd infantry on turn 2, or 3 if the FTA city is capped.
(P13 - P16): 1st infantry to the map turn 1, 2nd infantry on turn 1, or 2 if the FTA city is capped.


The tech tree provides two lanes of choices:
A. 2 comm towers OR
B. 8 cities

Rules:
0. Intended for High Funds, but Standard could work.
1. FFA, 4x teams of 4, 8x teams of 2, 2x teams of 8
2. Capture properties OR route the enemies
4. Ban: Stealth, Black Bomb, Piperunner

I was wondering when the 16p one was coming lol

This is a good one. Thanks for the effort

With a bunch of heavy terrain, I feel it could use some airports,
otherwise some areas might just completely be an indirect wall.

That's a good point, Raedel, I'll have to revise it when the current round of games are done, but let's see how they play out
