Teams are orange and black, blue and yellow, then green is alone (ABCBA) |

Really neat! I have a question about map design I see implemented here and elsewhere that I don't fully understand yet: whats up with the strange roads? Is it a balancing consideration or an aesthetic one (and the sub-question: what is the logic used to place them)? |

@Blight I think it is a bit of both. maps with too much of any one terrain type in a given area hurts the opportunity for more dynamic gameplay. Plus using only roads and only shoals would not work as well for balancing Koal and jake games assuming they are used which anyone could do when setting up a game. It breaks up the plains, opens up opportunities for Koal players and for exposing enemies units. They are also like boosts rather that strait roads for tire units. For example, a rocket leaving the base at 20,22 near blues hq can move 3 spaces left towards the enemy position. if it were all plains it would only move 2 and if it was all roads it could move 5. It provides an advantage over 2 move but is still no the dangerous 5 in one turn. This is so movement can be controlled for the sake of balancing early timings. I don't know if the designer was considering this here necessarily but the example still stands. I have seen this done many times in varying complexities. Many of the most balanced maps look like a shit show lol but that's war I guess. |
