why do we have maps with all the production facilities being opposite corners from eachother?
there is zero variety between turns 1-9
there is a mid-game to this map but nothing else, inevitable deathball & dogpile in the middle

2/10

I mean with this one the early game variety comes from whether or not you decide to destroy the black boat immediately or
ignore it for a while.

This map has some issues with balance. Player two has a win rate of 60/40 for players above 1100 elo (n=237). I don't have a solution, but with a sample that large, I think we should reconsider having maps this heavily weighted in one players favor in the map pool.

this map has nearly a 70/30 win rate above 1300 elo with 64 games played

The pattern i noticed is that the more P2 can actually use the 1 (2) extra Infanterie, the better the P2 Advantage, aka very pronounced on this map (lol what, 70/30?) where you grab your Base 3, and split up north and west with efficient caps, in comparison to other maps where the second Infanterie you get from capping the third base a day early has not much to do.
One might consider moving the P2 Infanterie to the other base here to simulate that.
