Set funds to 6000 per turn, and ban all land units except APC's and Infantry, the extra
1000 is if
you happen to choose Kanbei. (S)COP's shouldn't be a problem.

The goal of the game is to build and posistion your APC's to line up (either left-right,
down-up, or diagonally) in 4 of the roads clearly in the center of the map. You must and
can only move your APC on to the lowest possible space of any column of your choice, once
a column is filled up, you can't choose it. To simplify it: you can only "stack units",
yes just like Connect Four. Each APC only gets to move once, after that, it's done, or
else it's cheating.

Jade Sun is the referee, and should be someone that you trust. If a player doesn't abide
by the rules, Jade Sun can declare the person a cheater, and use his/her battleships to
allow the winner
and the ref to win. Reading the logs for illegal APC movement is a good idea. Jade Sun
also has a port for supplying or for building black boats which can supply as well.

If a player wins (by either connecting four or the other player cheating), then Jade Sun
should delete the mega tank nearest to the winner's base. The winner then
can advance to the loser's headquarters and capture it, or you can just destroy all of the
loser's units (or the loser can voluntarily delete all of his/her units), and make him/her
lose my rout, whichever is quicker. Afterwards, the ref and the winner can set a draw.

this is the gayestmap ever.

There is a problem. The infantry can't reach the top 3 squares in the middle in one turn,
since they are 4 spaces away from the black squares. Also, one player could position his
infantries in a manner that might prevent the other player from reaching a few of the
other squares.

These problems are fixable:
Take away the JS infantry
Use any unit with 6 or more movement as playing pieces and set starting income high
enough to allow this
Add another row of Black squares at the top of the playing area.

This would then be perfectly playable with a competent referee (JS player)

Okay, I've changed it.

Edit: Just realized the pipe seams are pointless, you can teleport to the headquarters,
I'm just going to make a JS mega tank block when the current game is over

Edit2: And if you ban infantry you can't capture your opponent's headquarters.

Who said anything about banning infantry?

JS can always punish them if they use units the wrong way.
