It almost looked good.
the concept behind it is very well done.
However, the fact that you have clumped property, I can't give you a very good score.
All of the silo are not a good thing.
The clumped production facilities are bad.
All of the Silo are a really bad thing. one per player is about the limit.
Also, the fact that as the players rush for the center, BM and GE have a disadvantage as
they end up by each others HQ, not their own, unlike YC and OS who appear right by their
HQs.
The center has a horribly clumped amount of forests and the mountain rings aren't a good
thing either.
All of the mountains are really clumped as well, they create a mountain range, but since
they're in the ocean, it's not a very pretty sight.
The fact that there is only one base per side means that there is a terrible first turn
advantage that OS has over everyone else since they will always be a turn ahead of
everyone else.
Additionally, all of the airports and seaports cannot be captured.
There are two Towers that are uncapturable.
In total, there are only 44 property for the entire game. Plus, since there is only one base, the
odds of this game being that interesting are slim to none.

"Additionally, all of the airports and seaports cannot be captured"
yes but that was my choice that they cannot be captured.

I agree, maybe I would add 2 bases for each HQ.

And what are you going to do about the chokepoints?
Or the extra space on the map that will never see any units because the position is so
unhelpful that it would benefit the opponents to move units to those positions?
if you included the airports, seaports, com towers, and 10 silo for show without any remote
chance of a player obtaining them. Why not just exclude them?
The terrain is broken up in a way that it is not a loss to cut away the areas of play that will
never see any play at all.
I will also assume that the 10 is not from you. Because there is no person who is able to
consider themself a sentient being that gives their own map a 10. I'll just assume that it's
someone who went through a bunch of the maps giving tens.

your question ask himself to your question.
I include them only for show. I think it's more fun than just water.

GE can attack with piperunners, I don't think anyone else can.
Fate 6 (04/27/2008 09:55am):
Yellow can also, and their piperunners are even more useful.
