OK, first off, since I know it'll be asked about, Bans

CO Bans: Broken 5 (duh), Eagle, Drake, Sonja*, Koal (maybe, not 100% bad on this map, but
there're a lot of roads), and finally, Sturm (because of the terrain thing), and
personally I would ban Olaf, but that's just because I don't like the snow S/COP

Unit Bans: Black Bomb (unless you just like using them), Stealth (same reason as Black
Bomb), and any other units you just don't like, none seem really broken to me :P

*it is suggested you play this map in FoW, so Sonja's not a required ban really, but more
of a suggested one, unless you like fighting someone that good in fog

this map was made for a mainly air battle, but is very easy to have ground/sea unit
support, and in fact without it, you're probably going to lose, and your air units will
probably run out of fuel pretty fast.

I recommend you play this with more than 1000 funds, in order to support 4 bases, 3
airports, and 2 ports, but if you do, be aware you and your opponent might end up fighting
eachother sooner than you think...

I am debating with myself whether I should give any of the properties on the starting
islands to the players at the beginning, but I honestly can't tell if it would help any
with the funds or anything

any suggestions for map changes, etc. are always welcome, unless, in this case, they
include changing the size of the map, or making it into a map with more land, I would've
made it bigger, but I had already made the map on DoR (just to get my idea down since I
couldn't get on AWBW at the time) and I didn't feel like remeasuring where I should put
the islands and stuff, so I kept it at 30x30

Oh, and thanks to Nibbles on Marshmallows for the idea to use TG infantry for the ghost
units :P

Tealish assassins make spamming air/sea units from the front ranks impossible, while still
allowing healing near the front. Yay for that! Also, predeployed carriers! What insight! And
near ports too, in case they need to be refueled! =o

Edit: You're welcome :)

this map is AMAZING though you might want to connect some of the islands and u may want
another base or two now as for a name how about sea of islands?
