FOW: On
Funds: 1500/turn
Starting Funds: 0
Teams: Doesn't matter. FFA and Teams are good, but if you do teams, OS + YC with BM +
GE.
Unit Ban: Megatank
CO Ban: Kanbei, Colin, Hachi, Grit, Sensei, Sasha, Kindle, Lash, Sturm, Von Bolt

I wanted this map to start like some of those Real-Time Strategy games, where you start
low and go high. The Funds are 1500 per turn because if it was just 1000 per turn, it
would go very slowly. Took out an Airport and a COM Tower and added Cities for
Bases/Ratio effect. Don't go in a hurry to destroy pipe seams early, you'll need most of them
to move your Piperunners. But you can destroy some pipe seams to slow down the enemy
Piperunners.

EDIT: If you play on FoW, be careful! The other people can see your Piperunner as well if it's
on the pipes!

Mh. Nice idea, but add some cities for base/city ratio.

This is an interesting premise. But base clumping is very bad because one guy will get
both. :(
7/10. May want to fix that.

The one base infantry counter actually causes STA, so GE and YC both have an advantage.

In particular GE has a considerable advantage on this map because he has FTA over his
neighbor YC. Switch YC and BM and switch the FTA counter to a two base infantry counter
and then this map will be balanced.
Darth Hawke (03/07/2011 05:33pm):
Thanks jhuni, I never actually considered the STA. Thanks also, Meta. I'll be sure to edit
it one day.

a rush of comment after 4 years.. where was this map hiding.. should be put into 4 player or
team or FFA ? map category
Note that fta counters can depend on how one organisees the game individual, pair side-by-
side or diagonally opposite etc and country changes move order and so on... inddeeed no
counter can be good if team 1 plays first and last and team 2 plays 2nd and 3rd. i thinnk?!
