ban sami, sturm, koal, grit, and maybe kindle. this map is playable in FOW if preferred. if you
see any mistakes please point them out before you rate it. at first glace you may see a
chokepoint in the middle but there is a distraction with the outer cities not to mention your
base can be attacked from either side. i put some random mountains for long range strategic
plans but also made it so close range weapons are still equally useful.

edit: i gave each country 2 bases, made OS have a neutral base to balance it i guess. fixed
the terrain a bit

at 11.5 property per side, 2 bases is accurate. (You would however be able to easily
update the property count to 12.5, or even up to 14.5)
However, the starting setup is incorrect. because there is one base, a single infantry does
not merit a fair FTA counter. With the starting property the FTA counter is incorrect as well.
An FTA counter is supposed to put the later players at half a turn ahead, which means 2K
funds on half of the bases, which in this case would be half a base. Maps where players
start with a single base, are usually frowned upon because it's hard to balance the early
game appropriately. Likewise the early game is difficult to balance if the funds count ends up
above 3K. The center of the map feels clogged. and the terrain looks too organized.
Symmetry in terrain does merit balance in speed of players, but it also means that you, as a
map maker, need to work even harder to make the terrain help make the map look appealing
to play on in general.
Those are the amajor problems, there are a few smaller ones, but they aren't as obvious and
shouldn't affect gameplay too much. I do suggest also banning Kanbei, Hachi, Colin, Sensei,
and not banning Sami, Koal, and Kindle.

IT's more "fair" than if they left it as is but didn't have the infantry, just pretend that is why
they di it.

I'll try to pretend your grammar is better.
