2vs2 version of Looming Threat; Link: https://awbw.amarriner.com/prevmaps.php?maps_id=163134

Teams: Orange Star & Pink Cosmos VS Black Hole & Grey Sky for ABBA turn order.
Probably works best with 1.5k funds per property?

Moved to B-rank as the Arty gimmick can cause CO imbalance between the two teams. The most egregious example is Sami who should probably be banned.

(Quoted from Christiaan: "There might be some slight ABBA benefit on the Looming Threat map, Team B needs the 1st B to be Sami in order to cap the arti properties regardless and the 2nd can be anything but team A needs the 1st A to be Sami to do the same. Then in the way ABBA works team A ends up with any CO and then Sami and team B ends up with Sami and then any CO. That can be crucial if that any CO is an attacking CO that can clear stuff for Sami to capture.")

I tried to fix the Arty gimmick for 2vs2 gameplay but I currently don't think it's possible as any change creates other (potential) problems.

Also nerfed a possible Rocketlock that might be problematic with the higher funding and slower center bases.

Thanks to Christiaan for the feedback on both issues.
