I have no idea how this is going to work out, so take it easy on me until I test it. ;) |

Amber Blase have a small advantage. |

OMG 3 STARTING BASES PER SIDE Actually, it's a pretty good map. I like how you have to watch your back when the properties on the islands are captured. Maybe you could add another port in along the water. I'm not sure that it matters whether the FTA counter is on the northern or southern base, as it can capture a property either way. |

Yeah, I'm wondering if this may be a good candidate for 5K starting funds. With three bases there will be even more infantry than usual before people are able to afford vehicles. I'll decide after the first test. |

Actually, I think you should put 2 FTA counter infantries, and something like 6K starting funds, it should roughly even out. In this version there is still a slight FTA I think. |

That's a good idea, just double everything so it works out the same. Thanks I'll try it. Edit: I also started each side with two labs to prevent an STA rush to capture the lab and win right away. Gotta test now to see if it has any other problems. |

Oh sweet, epic edit. 10'd. |

How is it that maps are being placed just one step below A-rank 3 days after being created? Isn't this what "new maps" was for? |

I added this map to both Good 2P Maps and New Maps the day it was created. And this map can't be A-ranked anyway now that submissions are closed for the time being. |

Current 2-player map categories are S-Rank (Top 10 versus maps) (4 maps) A-Rank (Top 100 versus maps) *pending* (151 maps) Good 2 Player Maps (378 maps) New Maps (30 maps) Good Maps is one step below A-rank (pending). If this map is good, more than one game will eventually be played on it. It doesn't need to be added to Good Maps the same day it is made. |

How about making a thread about it instead of spamming up the comments on the map? Your idea would apply to more maps than just this one, I assume. It's a perfect topic for the Design Maps forum. |

I still don't understand what rast is saying... Also, this map is great, perfect for fog games. |

The idea of putting pipeseams in the way of a factory's only non-mountain exits is awesome. Want a tank there? Gotta spend a couple turns blowing terrain up first! This is also a great example of how lab-HQs can make for a more flexible map. Multiple labs as HQ is a seriously underexplored concept. Speaking of which... http://awbw.amarriner.com/prevmaps.php?maps_id=31879 I tried something similar here, but ended up with more of a "if you refuse to resign, the map will let the game end when it's clear you're getting owned" feel. It also lets you make a third property pre-owned, speeding up the capture phase a bit. Lets see more of this kind of lab- Q maps people! Sothis has shown us the light! Now go follow it while I move into my dorm. |

Pipes are for the best unit in the game, Piperunners. Never EVER blow up a pipeseam. It's just common sense. Sidenote, this map is actually pretty good. Doesn't force you to ignore 70% of the units in the game. |
