This is my first proper attempt at a fair map. I spent a while so far on my AW RP Campaign,
of which only a few maps are 'Balanced'. However, I believe this has got a decent enough
FTA counter.

And of course, it's a 1 v 1. I'm not too sure which COs to ban... Maybe Grit and Sensei?
Anyway, if you can rate and leave comments on how I could improve, that would be great.
Thanks!

This map, has a STA. Second turn Advantage. because BM gets an infantry a turn ahead of
OS, with only one base. that puts them an entire turn ahead. (meaning instead of
compensating for FTA, you went the whole way, and doubled it)
there are heavy chokepoints, and most of the time, none of the seams will be busted until
after one team has a distinct advantage.
You don't want to have 3 bases on a map this size, it's just too much.
all maps should have a decent ratio of at the very least 1 base to 2.5 nonbases. (there are
other equations affecting air and sea, but this is a land only map)
All the forests are clumped, and the chokepoints litter the entire map.
For CO to ban:
Colin, Kanbei, Hachi, Sasha, Sensei, Grit, Sturm if you have more then 1000 funds per
property.

My improvement suggestions are above. the main thing to think about, is more space, there
isn't any right now.

Thanks for the quick comment. I'll fiddle around with the terrain a bit, see if I can make this
thing into my Golden Egg... Or, at the very least, a Bronze Egg.

Edit: Okay, I editted the map a bit.

Better than Samuel Jackson.

Or at least the map equivelant.
funwes (02/16/2008 06:22pm):
Yeah, still has STA because BM will get more funds than OS for a few days, probably enough
to get an advantage; BM can get an APC day two and own those comm towers

Gave Orange Star a starting Infantry and moved the cities closest to the starting point
across the river, meaning Blue Moon can get the funds from the city on Day One, but Orange
Star will have captured it on Day 2.

Also fiddled around a bit more with the terrain in the centre.
Shadow Star (02/17/2008 10:17am):
The center is still really chokey.
Bern (02/17/2008 01:25pm):
What about now?
Shadow Star (02/17/2008 02:24pm):
Better.
