Map based on the 8-bit Metroid sprite. See also this sprite map
http://awbw.amarriner.com/prevmaps.php?maps_id=14715 designed by Camus the dark knight.

Ban the usual 5, Sturm (terrain) and Sami (T-copters). You may also ban Javier, Eagle, Von
Bolt, Sasha, Kindle, Lash and Nell.

The labs are here for aesthetical purposes on the mini-map.

Edit: Re-published to enlarge the chokepoints and put a place to park missiles against
airports. The map should be more dynamic now.
Edit: The airports in the north edge have been removed. They were useless.

This looks awesome

did you give yourself a ten?

Heh, nice map design. Metroids FTW :D
But the forest and city placement will lead to jake/lash/kindle abuse... perhaps you
should distance the middle cities as they seem too close...

The ten wasn't mine. :)

Because of chokepoints, Javier is way better than Jake and Lash. But there are still
airports to break the lines. If you want balanced games, ban at least Kindle and Javier.

About middle cities, only the two in the top eye cause issues. But they are very remote:
by the time an infantry reaches here, you can afford air units.

sweet, not many maps have shoal-to-shoal terrain. Very interesting ^o^

I don't like the bland sea and the random second airports.
Apart from that it looks very playable and very cool :)

The reefs are used for metroid's nerves. And the background on the 8-bit Metroid game was
completely black. Hence the uniform seas.

How do you get the curved shoals?
