Another EX version. This time, the whole map got a major facelift- I really didn't wanna try
and balance the original version for 6 players.
Similar to one of my other maps, Pride & Glory, two teams must split an uneven number of
properties between themselves. There are 5 bases, a lab, a Com tower, an airport, and a
port.
Ban the broken 5 (CGHSK), Lash, Kindle, and Sasha. Javier is an optional ban, but don't
forget only one player per team can get a Com tower.
Ban Megatanks, and maybe Black Bombs and Stealth. I think the best lab units would be
Rockets, Neotanks, and Mechs, but it's up to you.

Why do people always ban Javier on any map that has com towers? "Wah wah he gets
defense boosts too he's broken!" With one tower, he's 110/110 D2D, 130/130 COP, 140/140
SCOP (not counting indirect defense boosts). That is not broken at all. In fact, it's pretty darn
close to balanced. On this map, for example, Javier is pretty balanced. True, he's better than
most on the roads because of his slight defense boost, and if he grabs the second tower,
he walks all over his opponents. Then again, if he's in a position to have both towers, the
game is pretty much over anyway.

The actual map is pretty good, though there are some places where terrain looks weird.

Actually, I've got another map like this where I don't suggest a Javier ban. I suggested one
here because the original map had a pair of seaport chokepoints in the lower middle, and it's
extremely hard to dislodge naval units from ports without indirects. I guess he doesn't really
need to be banned here, since the chokepoints have been removed.

Still, Javier's defense bonus does bring him to Von Bolt stats D2D with a single tower,
except that Javier has a decent CO Power that isn't overpriced and gives his units some nice
boosts. It's not broken, but it's pretty good.

+2 Good terrain variety.
+2 Hardly any chokepoints.
+1 I like the idea, and design of the map, it could use something more in the middle such
as a ports.
10/10

I like the 3 infantry on the back of the map its like they are having a meeting like:" bruh hear me
out! Sami was looking good in when i saw her earlier".
