This map was a remake of "flipping out" by bananabasket. https://awbw.amarriner.com/prevmaps.php?maps_id=166266

The idea of the original map was that it had to be flip symmetry, and had to have so much TA that it balanced itself out. Banana
and I think that this map will either completely explode somehow, or will be the most genius map of all time.

Is mid not problematic?

Surprisingly the contested bases are still seemingly more valuable, so it's the AHF center city argument but with four cities in a trench coat instead of a single city.

So I think this is interesting, but in my test game it looked like the funding curve favors P2 a bit, but to be fair it might just be the result of the APC opener - and P1 was able to baseskip to get a needed tank and after that it looked playable anyway. Though the APC opener seems very good here as it allows you to get Infs to the neutral base rather fast - and imo the APC opener favors P2 a bit. That might be worth investigating further as it is possible that there's a bit of STA in general, although it's hard to say without a bunch of test games.

This surely needs more testing still, but I think it should be fine in A-rank, at least until someone can find a broken line or definitive TA.
