If Javier was allowed on this map, it would be ridiculous

If there are more than 2 com towers, Javier would be labeled as T0. The thing I am looking at is how much Sturm would love this map with having 110/120 and free movement across all of those forest tiles on such a small map.

Would love to see a Main Sturm vs a Main Javier on this map

I do think it's a bit ridiculous that an artillery investment is not just 2 hits on a cruiser, but a 3rd hit on a pipe seam. In order to
bring the airport online, you're forced to give your opponent 18k in power charge, which your opponent can choose to not do,
and then you have to hit a 3rd time.

Other than that, I thought the map was fun.

Reworked this to make Arties (and centralized Copters) less OP hopefully. As part of the changes, the harbor base is now Inf-only, but gets a Lander.

Loved how dynamic this map is. Mechs are good, Bombers are incentivized in a way to break the pipe immediately after the cruiser falls, and with the terrain bombers are almost a win con if your opponent has not invested in an arty to kill the cruiser already. Very difficult to respond with a fighter if you aren't thinking ahead and anticipating a bomber. I like the battleship utility for the titular tower tussle on the sides.

Reworked terrain around the harbor base slightly to remove the Lander noobtrap (previously it was kinda easy to accidentally park the Lander on the uncapped harbor when autopiloting, messing up your funding curve). Now there's a shoal that's clearly preferable as a unit loading spot.

Had to nerf BShip a little to make these edits (it can't lock the tower anymore - instead it can now lock two cities it couldn't before if you move it next to the base), but sacrifices have to be made for better accessibility.
