I kinda like this map, but 1b can be pretty greedy early, and then be supported by infs from middle base. I think the middle
base could see a very slight nerf, because it can currently support with infantry in either side, either comm tower, either double
city at the same speed. So, going 1b1a + inf base could be the play to stall the map out. Maybe making 13,10 into a pipe tile
could help redirect infs a bit in the early/mid game, while still having the pipe seam option for later in the game.

I think you're correct. Added the extra pipe tile.

Nice. I think this is likely to be more of a slow positional map rather than a brawly one. 1b can greed early and put pressure, 2b
flood back, fighting for the double city. Things to think is copter/AA timings. Also noticed that although tank order is ABBA, P1
can sneak a recon out in between into ABaBA, but the recon doesn't hit any crucial timings, so it seems fine and might actually
help alleviate being the non-tank-chain player. A-ranking for now :)

Fixed the funding curve and made some slight terrain changes to make this one Live-compatible.

There seems to be comm tower denial interaction TA here. Specifically p2 could deny p1's
comm while p1 cant do the same. This is pretty significant as it's nigh impossible to get it once
it's denied as per my game: https://awbw.amarriner.com/game.php?games_id=1470425. That
combined with plenty amount of heavy terrains on the map give quite the advantage for p2

Moved the mountain from (12,06) to (12,05), that should hopefully fix the problem.
