This is my first map. Please tell me what you think. It's a team map grey + pink vs amber and
teal. The towers at the top left and bottom right corners can not be reached by boat.. only
air.... and the only two players that have access to planes are pink and teal. Suicide
mission! They also get 3-4 more cities than their teammates, but their teammates (amber and
grey) are meant to own the two towers near their respective base. So, one CO has the
money and planes and the other CO has the 10% more offensive power and the naval
responsibility. I attempted to get everyone involved in as many places as possible.

FTA: since team one (pink and grey) move 1st and thirsd I gave teal and amber an extra city
at their enemies' bases. Grey should capture in 3 turns and pink in 2 which gives team two
an extra 5000 cash.

RATE IT TOO PLEASE!!

I wanted to take the map Paradise Isle and make changes so boats were part of the game. 8
hrs later this is what i have. I also didnt like how screwed you were if you didnt have the
middle . I don't like it where a game depends all on one battle. the battles on the top and
bottom bridges were never factors when i played my two games on the map. Hopefully
with this map not one battle will determine the victor.

Positive points:
1) I really like the idea of some countries having only air power and others naval power.
I've never created a map myself but that is one key aspect I would want to have.
2) Very balanced.
3) Reefs in the center for hiding naval units.
4) Many properties near the country's home bases to allow build up to be able to fight for
the middle with gusto.

Negative points:
1) Too many choke points for naval units; need more open sea spaces for them to be
able to move around. Some of those isles have nothing on them whatsoever (the only thing
you could put on them is infantry or mech with an air unit and neither is good for vision nor
indirect fire). The roads on the sides should be moved to the very edge and connected...if
not connected then deleted all together and made into sea spaces.
2) I don't like pipes at all and usually avoid maps with piping. However, if you are going
to have piping then a factory needs to be next to it somewhere so a piperunner unit can be
built and used.
3) There are no shoals on the map. That means the naval powers can take over the
properties near them, take over a portion of the middle on their side only, lob shots at the
enemy, shoot down some aircraft, can only land on the other naval power's sea port, and
that is it. They really become sidelined players. This is a serious flaw.

With some minor tweaking this will be a good map. I look forward to playing on it. Not
bad for a first attempt.

1) the roads on the side are for a last defense for the "air" co to help protect the "sea" Co
with indirects. The bottom left and top right portions of the map have no sea units so i put in
islands just for looks.
2)I was thinkning anready about not enough sea space to move around... that i might change
but i think if a CO can get through there with the navy he has probably won anyway. It's
meant to benefit the CO protecting the towers
3)IU'm not sure I understand. the naval units dont need seaports because they can refuel
from apcs (on the middle islands) or blackboats. Don't understand why you need shoal.
Aircrafts are going to be very dangerous to use because of all the trees...
thanks exqli
