Cool. How do you do that? Does the map comittee get an unpublished map page?
Days Of Ruins (09/03/2008 10:08pm):
Anyways all vs. GS. No lab units or fog.
Days Of Ruins (09/03/2008 10:08pm):
ban whoever and no more then 1000 funds.
amthc356 (09/04/2008 12:15am):
there are ways to look at/comment on unpublished maps if you know the site well enough

Holy communication towers, Batman!
acim81 (09/04/2008 02:51am):
the maps looks ok, but isn't it stupid to give EVERYONE two towers?
now erveryone has the same power-boost.
and imo there are too much silos. When the allies wait for the right moment and fire all their
silos on the same turn, GS is doomed!

7/10
amthc356 (09/04/2008 03:32am):
what's wrong with a universal attack boost?
acim81 (09/04/2008 07:03am):
when everyone has a boost, noone is better than the rest.
imo the towers are to fight for, not to fight with.
blackfoz (09/04/2008 12:46pm):
hey
how does this game work anyways?
Armageddon07 (09/04/2008 02:11pm):
Gs is not doomed if all the silos fire on the same turn unless the gs hq is surrounded by
enemies that are less then 5 squares away and there are few gs units left.

Darth Hawke (09/04/2008 07:33pm):
There's no way they'll beat GS. Too many people will leave and not be active.
lordliam (09/05/2008 06:52pm):
switch the port with the airport on the blue moon island-ish area... not very symetricular rite
now
although this map is soopar huge, it's not much better than the generic spamed island map...
Days Of Ruin (09/06/2008 09:03am):
How so?
nol5000 (09/06/2008 10:42pm):
ok im new so i dont have the tinyest bit wats going on!
khdou (09/09/2008 11:22pm):
Good idea, but with a map like this, GS can sweep the field easily.

Day1. GS has 50K funds. He concentrates all of them on 1 segment (lets just say Red fire)
and builds infantry on the other 3 sections. He'll build, what, 2 neos? That's a LOT of
firepower, considering every other single country gets 3K a day, and it'll take a week
before can even BUY 1 of them, and at the same time, GS is building away.

Let's assume the players get smart and each strategically fire off their Silos so that the
Neotanks die off. In the luckiest scenario, they get like, 5 free days to themselves. Hah,
thats like what, 15K each country? Very funny, no one can even match the firepower of a
simple Neotank (imagine he mixes between them and bombers). If GS plays smart, he can
easily take down a country just by sheer force within at most 15 days.

Now, the issue about Towers. You addressed this earlier about universal boost right?
However, this is a HUGE Difference. The comm towers are universal and cancel out ONLY if
that country is alive. In my description, GS will overwhelm Red Fire within 15 days at
most. Aha, once he wins that, he gets at least 20% boost in everything. Thus, he can work
his way to Jade Sun, annihilating everything, getting another 20%, and soon, everyone else
will be overwhelmed and lose.

Finally, some may say that, Oh, if you're just concentrating on 1 at a time, another
section can get stronger and stronger, and the last section will be extremely strong. That
is completely True. However, the truth is that, GS will be EVEN STRONGER. He will have a
HUGE land advantage, and his slight handicap can be easy overcome.

Improvements:
GS needs less funds. You can change this by splitting GS into 2, 4 countries, so starting
funds are halved.
GS does not suffer from Booting. Sure, if he gets booted the gaem if over, but its like
what, 8 vs 1? if any one of those 8 gets booted, it makes GS's already simple job even
easier. Remedy- splitting GS into more players as previously stated.
COMM TOWERS- When GS gets a hold of the towers from defeated nations, he gets stronger and
stronger. Take them away, they're not a universal boost, they're feeding GS.
Silos- maybe add more of them, so GS will have more of a handicap, so other countries can
develop. But, instead of adding Silos, why not just add cities? And remove some from GS,
that's a necessity.

Rating- I'll make a rating after you make this map playable.
Days Of Ruin (09/14/2008 12:37am):
Wow, those are the best suggestions I've ever gotten on a map. Thanks i'll fix it. If all the
games ever go away.
Days Of Ruins (09/14/2008 12:42am):
Too many games on it to ever fix it. I'll suggest that the allies are allowed to use Colin and
Kanbei. If you let the allies use some brokens it might balance it.

Kruegster (04/22/2009 10:42pm):
Wow. The map is huge. I would dislike being GS, because when the game gets going, it
could take more than an hour to take a turn (tons of units)

So?ZOmbie maps have tons of Infantry/Mechs. And that dumb penguin class map which
took me 5 months to move my army!

I wish I knew how to make extremely large maps. I wonder if theres been a 1000x1000 yet?

HOLY. SHIT. / 10
jhuni (03/02/2011 03:18am):
If you want a game of pure stupidness, host this map and play GS as Colin/Javier and
basically do this:

1. Build two megatanks/neotanks as Colin and focus on CI who will be the easiest to kill
since he goes last.
2. Switch to Javier when you get close to CI. The only unit your opponent will be able to
build to deal with your mega-tanks is artilleries, but since you have 40% defense against
indirects the artillery fire will bounce right off you.
3. Capture CI's towers, boosting yourself to 140/140. Next take out JS and capture his
towers, then you are at 160/160.
4. The other two corners should be really easy after this.
5. Finally you will be invincible with 200/200 stats. The people on the sides should've
quit by now.

I say this because I see someone created a game on this map with tags enabled and with
nothing banned, so I can already see how horribly this is going to play out. There is no
defense against this. Even if the people in the corners are Grit they won't be able to
stop megatanks that have 140% power against indirects.

No matter who you are there is no stopping this strategy, GS will kill the people in the
corners and take more and more towers until finally he is invincible.

Assuming nobody fixes this terribly flawed map here is how I recommend you go about
playing on this map:
1. BAN JAVIER
2. Ban the broken 5
3. Ban Sasha. A GS player as here will shut down everyone's CO and Sasha is broken at 500
funds per turn.
4. Disable tag teams.
5. Set the funds to 500. This will give the four corners a chance.
6. Make sure everybody who joins on this map has at least 30 games of past experience to
prevent drop-outs.

um, shouldnt blue moon's neutral airport/seaport on that island be switched? all the other
bases have the
seaport on the right hand side if you're from the POV of their base. doesnt really affect
gameplay, but doesnt look symmetrical.

LOL No year-long comment gap for you!
By the way, great map. 9/10 for time.
