BEFORE RATING, PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING!

FTA is balanced. Look at the map and look at who attacks who. You will find that OS
goes before BM, BM goes before GE, GE goes before YC, and YC has an Infantry to go before
OS. Each one goes before one person in their area where they can only deploy Infantry,
and each one goes after the area where they have a Missile Silo.

This is a tricky map, and it is actually very small in land area because the majority of
the map is sea. FOW MUSt BE TURNED ON FOR THIS MAP TO WORK. The purpose of the Recons is
each to spy on something. It can move in all four directions, and in each direction it
can see something that could be important that it can't see if it were just sitting in the
middle, so SONJA IS A BAN.

The Subs are there for multiple reasons. The obvious one is blocking the port, but a
clever player can negotiate with other players to move their Subs or attack the other one
in that area for them so they can start deploying units like Black Boats immediately
instead of having to deploy a Crusier first. There is a lot of game theory involved in a
sense that even if the Sub does attack it, a player can simply move his Sub to block the
only exit. Subs however, will eventually sink. So the game continues.

Every player should realize it is essential to win in the area where they have their base
blocked by a mountain because if they lose, the other player has a chance to capture their
HQ by breaking the pipe seam.

5k starting funds means OS builds a day one recon on the west island and blocks the base.

I like the concept. I really like your reasoning.

Everybody else can do that too. if you want to ban recons then do that otherwise just hope
everyone else is less of a big meanie.
