My third map. The idea is you don't have to expand, and can just "go". Comment, critisize,
and rate please.

no neutrals to fight over.. large amounts of funds.. might work, i dunno. the randomly
placed cities and bases might make for an interesting fight. 7

right, short capture phase = less infantry flooding = you not being able to win. That's why it's
not a 10. >_>
FTA is a problem here, though.
Tyrael (10/29/2007 01:42am):
How does less infantry flood = unable to win? It's not like the other player has tons of
infantry. Besides, you have 5 bases, I'm sure you could pump out enough infantry from
those. I respect the idea of start playing right away, but I personally like the capture phase.
FTA is pretty nasty here though, but I have zero to no clue how to counter that. Oh, and
Genius there are two neutrals, he could have edited though.
7/10 because of huge FTA.
Tyrael (10/29/2007 01:58am):
OK, put some thought into FTA counter and here's my idea. Since FTA counters are
supposed to put the second team a half a turn ahead at the start, and each team starts with
18,000 funds, I'd give 9,000 funds to GE. But each city changed would give a 5,000 net
change of funds if capture starts on day 2 (+2000 for GE, -3000 for YC) (assuming the two
neutrals stay neutral). The closest we can get to 9000 with 5000 pieces is 10,000, or two
cities. So give GE two cities deep in YC territory (I'd suggest the one in the far SE corner
and the one straight above it past the factory) and give YC an infantry 4 tiles west of the top
GE city that's now in its territory (so capture can start on day 2 and keep the city from giving
more funds than intended. The one in the corner can be handled by an infantry produced in
the nearby factory).

OK, that probably sounds really confusing, but I'm pretty sure it's the best FTA counter
possible for this map. Someone can check if it works how I'm saying it does, it's pretty late
right now.

Interesting...
Eh I don't oppose this map, but I don't really like it all at the same time. The "just go
thing" isn't my style. I win using the capture phase as a part of my overall strategy.
(duh, im not gonna reveal that strategy even though its not too hard to figure out)
I give this map a 7/10 for the interesting idea you put into it.
