I originally had this on my AW:DS cart. I made some modifications with the site's editor because it was at the property limit on the cart. Hope you guys like it! I'ts supposed to be like an arena with the fighting taking place mainly in the center. Edit: ~MAJOR NOTE: This is a map that plays best as a free for all with FOW and random weather. CO Bans: Broken 5, Javier, Sturm, and Olaf (because of random weather). Perhaps maybe Kindle as well. If you do prefer teams however, make it OS/CI vs BM/GE. Also, unit bans are: Rockets, piperunners, black bombs and stealths |

Anyone gonna comment? |

i think more fighting would be going on at the outside because of the com towers and bases,plus the outside is where all the HQs are. i dont think theres any thing wrong with this map though, so...9/10 |
|
DuelStriker (07/16/2007 11:07am | Edited: 07/16/2007 11:07am):
But the comm towers are inside. I didn't have all those seams when I palyed it on AW:DS because it was at the property limit. This is also meant for FOW. Which is why the center is like that. Oh, and thanks for the 9. |

Heartless (07/16/2007 10:32pm):
Remove bases, add cities. (again, sorry for annoying you with that). 7 bases is A LOT. The middle is too terrainy to be interesting and makes Sturm lol. It's also too choky at some places. The middle doesn't look good, Give the river a wild shape to make it look good. IWhat would be the teams if it were a team game? |

That's what I thought. Swap GE and CI or else teams won't work. |

Heartless (07/17/2007 03:20pm):
Yeah, but the fighting won't be intersting. Right now, anything other than a inf or a mech is slowed down and makes Sturm very powerful. His recons would murder everything. Add roads and cities and remove beses. |
|
DuelStriker (07/17/2007 03:25pm):
Actually, I'm playtesting this now. The center fighting is fun. But, when the game is over, I'll put more cities. Don't worry. |
|
Lash = Love (08/01/2007 12:46pm):
I see chokepoints and the battle on the middle would take ages because of the dense forest |
|
DuelStriker (08/02/2007 06:27am):
I'm guessing that you are giveing me all those 1's Lash=Love. A suggestion, if it's you, I'd like to see you do better. |
|
thecooltodd (08/03/2007 11:11am):
BM and GE are at a disadvantage because they are far away from their initial bases... GE is sandwhiched by OS on BOTH sides and BM is surrounded by CI on BOTH sides... I'll give you an 8/10 and assume that youll fix it later |
|
DuelStriker (08/03/2007 11:25am):
Hmmm... Should I switch CI and OS in the center? |
|
DuelStriker (08/10/2007 10:29am):
OK! No more games on ths please! I need to edit it as soon as possible! |
|
sulla (08/31/2007 01:31pm):
I love this map it deserves a 9, but I gave it a 19 |
|
DuelStriker (09/02/2007 12:07pm | Edited: 09/02/2007 12:07pm):
Ok. map fixed, the countries are all now far from thier HQ starting positions. |

templare (09/17/2007 09:34pm):
my only problem is that the airports in the mid are next to the people fta (GE&OS) while that does work out well for team games it seems a bit unbalanced when a ffa is concered |
|
DuelStriker (09/18/2007 07:44pm | Edited: 09/18/2007 07:47pm):
Well during a team game, you should decide with your teammate who will get the airport. But you're probably right... I'll need to fix the FTA for the airports. Perhaps I can just make the cities next to them airports so it will balance out, unless anyone has a better sugestion. Also, it's meant more for FFA's with FOW and random weather, I've played it alot, it's very fun. |
|
templare (09/18/2007 08:09pm):
one way might be to move the airports to be on the same x axis with the comm towers though im not sure if thats what your going for |
|
DuelStriker (09/19/2007 03:32pm):
That might work. Thanks for the advice. |
|
templare (09/29/2007 11:03am):
that aside this is a pretty good map all around 10'd |
|
DuelStriker (09/29/2007 03:06pm):
Thanks. And wow my map is popular. More people are startimg games on it. |
|
templare (10/15/2007 02:49pm):
I don't think your ever gonna be able to edit this map at this rate XD |
|
sulla (12/27/2007 09:30am):
Not surpised more people are starting games on it. Its a great map. Its a 9 out of 10 map as far as I am concerned. It needs a few more citys, and less trees in the centre. then it will be 10 out of 10. |
|
DuelStriker (04/10/2008 03:27pm | Edited: 04/17/2008 02:37pm):
MAJOR UPDATE! - Fixed up the pies so they look nicer - Removed center airports - Took out a couple of bases for each side so it's not as base heavy as it was - Added more seams - Starting cities made neutral - Switched BM with GE and countered FTA in the center Should play out more nicely now as well. |

Dragunov14 (04/17/2008 03:13pm):
Put some cities or something in the middle of the map, to make it more intresting with all those inf. |
|
Dragunov14 (04/17/2008 03:14pm | Edited: 04/17/2008 03:15pm):
some how i doubled posted... |

blanci1 (06/04/2008 05:27am | Edited: 06/04/2008 09:47am):
Nice interesting map, quite different from the standard ........ though i thought duel didnt like forest clumping ! preowned cities (why remove them?).... gets things moving faster, but no big deal. Duel using choke points! however i guess the mixed up infantry pre-deployment is to counteract that ? Since its so popular, might be worth aactually making the map symetrical . Non-symetrical features are ok if somewhat randomised and numerous to give statistical fairness. Anyway again possibly no big deal ..see how games go. I see Duel has put kind of incremental distributed counters to turn advantage for this multiplayer! Excellent .. ive not seen it done before, i think its worth doing even roughly. Though i wonder why have extra infantry as counters in centre? A counter for such pre-deployeds could be to just incrementally move them (safely) towards logical destinations. I hope Duel sees my positive constructive comments here not only critical negative ones ! Good map and i hope it encourages similar diversity. |

sulla (06/06/2008 11:47am):
Needs the airports back again. |
|
DuelStriker (07/04/2008 01:53pm):
blanci1: Thank you for the advice :) Yes, I know there's terrain clumping, but it was intentional for this map. It makes for a tough fight in the center (because FOW is meant to be on) and is especially harsh in snow (extremely limited movement :O) The multiple FTA counters work perfectly. The map is choked at first, but busting a few pipeseams will get things moving. Glad people like this map. sulla: no, I'm not adding the airports back in the center, it created too much of an imbalance before. |

blanci1 (07/16/2008 03:18am | Edited: 07/22/2008 06:03pm):
the map analysis statistics gives an average of 20+ days per game (from 14 games) which is one of the highest of any map at awbw !!!! it indicates an entertaining map where players dont get bored and booted nor take early draws nor find a quick win. |

Meta Rexy (10/04/2008 11:03am):
This map is pwnage. :D Using fog it's really hard to find enemies, but that's why I like it. :) You have to keep your units EVERYWHERE in case you get a sneak attack :D 9/10. I find that the mountains are kinda useless with all those forests around. and a small chokepoint issue promotes artillery spam X_X I suggest a couple of pipe seams near the river in this map so that eventually players can send more forces in through the middle later instead of through the sides. |
|
DuelStriker (03/22/2009 10:02am):
Updated once again. -More pipeseams added -Center river fixed up as well |
|
Falconewing (05/04/2009 07:17pm):
STA in middle. So many infantries they can just catch up in NO FoW. But since there is, ban sonja, if fighting takes place the most in the center. PS. Is Sami A broken? |
|
DuelStriker (05/06/2009 06:56pm):
I don't see STA in the center, BM doesn't have an advantage noob. Also yeah, if you really want, ban Sonja for fog but it's not completely necessary. And I suppose that with all the pipeseams this map has now, Sami is broken. |

10īd, and favorited :D |

ichbinsehselber (05/14/2011 08:06am | Edited: 05/14/2011 08:07am):
Awesome map. Great job. (10/10) I like especially: - air included - the map can really be played 1vs1vs1vs1. Even the diagonal players have to fight (espcially at the start) |
