Survive your bombers as many as you can, they will be very useful to destroy the pipe seams.
Lab unit: blackboat & T-copter

This is a map to encourage bomber uses. We all konw that stealths in most of times are
better than bombers for their over 20000 prices. But in this map, I believe that bomber
will be more useful for the following reasons:

1. lots of pipe seams
With attack boost of tower, a bomber could destroy one seam in one turn, which saves a lot
of time for your advance to the central area.

2. chokey terrains and high funds
There are many chokepoints in this map that may lead to indirect spamming.This will not be
a problem to the gameplay though. Because a main wide battlefield is offered at the
corner, indirects will only be useful at the central. To deal with them, bombers may be
super effective since they can OHKO many ground units, which helps in cleaning up the
chokepoints.
Also, the fund is high so players will less likely to use b-copters instead.

3. big map scale
Stealths' fatal weakness compared to bombers is that their fuel are pretty low. So, I made
the map big and in addition, set blackboats as a lab unit. This could weaken stealths
significantly.

Superb!

Uhh... If both players don't move the T-copters then the bombers are useless.

That's why you have to send troops to destory it. Then you gain one tower and two bombers
available.

Did you really think T-Copters are indestructible? FAIL

anyways, this map is pretty good, explanations are very helpful and thought out. pretty
unique and balance of terrain and placement. I really must say, a very good map. 10/10

I wish bombers had side guns that let them counter fighter attacks or obstacles.... more like a
sort of machine gun mounted on it
Meta Rexy (01/26/2010 03:54pm):
the mass damage COs will cause problems cuz the bombers will be weaker than they should be...
D:
But this map is interesting. I'll try it.

This is very, very good.

I noticed that this map had been put into the league blasket o_0
but actually this map has a lot to improve. I playtested it for a few times, but those
games were not really fun (even a bit boring.)

Tested it in AW2, CPU was scary on this map.
10/10
