Presumably this is yellow and blue team versus big black hole.
i do like these 2 v 1 maps where the single has double the resources of the former. Of corse
the single player has a pretty big advantage in terms of being able to co-ordinate his forces
better (and potentially buy big earlier), but these maps allow us to see in practice how much
advantage is conferred.
Clearly most of the action is going to occur in that 8x9 central squre where the game may
be decided by funding... if one side manages to grab a couple more properties and slowly
put on pressure.
Though it seems a bit chokey at least the central cities may discourage a stand-off.... oh ,,
the misiles ...mmm ... interesting ..but will encourage a stand-off.

i suppose the blue-yellow pair get to move first so their FTA and map asymetry advantages
may give some compensation for their 2 situational disadvantages mentioned above.

its quite hard to quantify BHs situational plusses so its not clear if its worth worrying about
trying to make the map fair ...... but just thinking about the first few days it looks like yellow-
blue team may get off to a flying start grabbing 2 factories and have a good shot at
interfering with BHs similar aspirations.

Considered as a 1v1 map that kind of central battle-zone would generally be critticised for
property clumping, mountain clumps , blandness, lack of forest, too much central properties
and not open enough. However i for one would quite like to see what actually happens in
that kind of total war zone .....

thank you very much for the intelligent comment, and advice. i'll take it with a grain of salt.

I did notice BH's advantage, and their head start ability. It's going to be a tough battle, i know.

I personally am on CI, and yes, teamed up with the YC forces. This is supposed to be part of
a story line i am creating with my opponents on this map, the start of this war.

is one of the "Advantages" the double towers?
Ibaara (08/27/2008 02:19pm | Edited: 08/27/2008 05:38pm):
i would think so...

yes, because of the YC CI first turn base capture advantage.
Zovea (09/05/2008 05:51am):
its too in favor of the teams
you should try taking out the pre-deployed neotanks
Ibaara (09/06/2008 12:31pm):
okay, thanks for the advice ^^
blanci1 (09/07/2008 05:56pm):
huh our opponent changed his BH to Green earth and now we have no fta in our favour to
balance his early misiles and coordination advantage ... we are surely doomed
Ibaara (09/07/2008 08:55pm):
? who now?

Glitches suck, right?
I made a battle, Hippies(pink cosmos) VS SPARTANS(Jade sun) and hippies turned into OS,
but i still went first, despite being JS. its a glitch, they are STILL BH in TURN ORDER, blanci1.

The team of 2 has extra infantry.
