It’s unfavorable outcome in green in fta. Yellows top base is 1 turns head ahead than greens bottom base and yellow gets
the 1st air ports while green is delayed on bottom middle area and top right area has much slower air ports to counter right
bottom yellow air port. Yellow still has an income lead advantage yellow city on top of the other major advantages.

确实存在一方更早获得机场，获得进攻优势的问题

I don't think this map has significant TA. At worst, player 2 has a minor advantage here, however I think this is the best it's going to get. If it was updated so that player 1 captured the upper left airport first, then they would be ahead on both airports, which would be more severe TA.

As for my own opinion on this map, I had a fun time on it (mixed base is always a fun time), though it's not quite a Global League quality map. It is very much a map where you brawl in the pivot points, with not a whole lot of the subtle positional play that many of the top mixed base maps are known for. Heck, a couple of the side fronts just straight up die when the only contested city is taken and everyone front-shifts away

This is still a great map though despite my criticism, so props to Rimer/Nightmare of Heiankyou for it.
