There are two side-canals for bships, hence the name. I think my FTA balance is in order,
and nothing is TOO centralized. Ban subs and carriers to make the game less complicated.
Darth Hawke (11/23/2006 04:40pm):
Interesting, except that BH has 1 less city than the other team.
nerd-boy (11/23/2006 04:45pm):
I believe that that is the FTA counter...
sirfuxalot (11/23/2006 04:50pm):
Yeah, don't you know anything?
nerd-boy (11/23/2006 04:54pm):
Though is an extra city really a counter for FTA? That always struck me as giving the
second player the advantage. Maybe instead of CI having the extra city, BH gets no infantry.

Just a thought.
sirfuxalot (11/23/2006 05:04pm):
BH is ahead one turn in funds, so it always works out perfectly in this scenario of low
funds and one base at start.
nerd-boy (11/23/2006 05:08pm):
Oh. Makes sense.
jhuni (11/23/2006 05:52pm | Edited: 11/24/2006 03:50pm):
Balancing FTA with a infantry, and having only 1 base at the start would reverse the FTA,
that's one reason why your balancing idea wouldn't work.

Awww .... I wasn't quick enough to give the first 10/10...
The Republic (11/27/2006 11:50am):
9/10
+10 for the shoal bridge
-1 because I think it needs a couple more properties to fund navy
THE_Chosen_One (11/27/2006 02:40pm):
7/10
-2 There isn't much point of a navy with so little sea
-1 Though many will disagree, I don't like using a city to balance FTA, I prefer adding an
infantry far from the properties to provide no "STA"

A very good map but would be much better if one neutral port was changed to a neutral
base on each side.

Ok, use an FTA balance that is proven to unbalance a map.

You need to read my explanation. The ports are for bships only. Landers if you are weird.
If you know how to save up, it can be very easy to get to a bship in the first several
days and still have just as much captured territory as your opponent. Unless they rush you
with recons. There's a few strategies I've seen here.
Pyrranha (11/29/2006 11:18am):
Actually, Black Boats could prove very useful here. They can maneuver down the central
shoalline as well as along the sides, providing repair assistance. 9/10
Advisor Nick (01/06/2007 09:30am):
I guess that the port would be mainly for black boats, so yeah, that map is great! the FTA is
countered, ok, ill give you your 10
WTFEGSSDFwtf (07/04/2007 06:48pm):
nice map
bance wars (08/29/2007 06:27pm):
i think you should take the infantry out of CI.
zywxn (05/09/2008 05:24am):
How much do you know about railguns anyway?
And the port idea is quite nice with a reef. Actually quite fun in FOW.
walkerboh01 (12/22/2011 08:38pm):
That's some pretty bad STA with the unequal funding between the two bases.
