Chokepoints. very slow start. since it's alley's, terrain normally considered in 3X3 blocks
must be considered in 1X9 blocks. The very upper and very lower pipeseams aren't going to
be doing much. if you remove them, you'll open the map up just enough in the early game to
help. (it won't help the later or mid game, but it needs some parts) All pipe seams turn into
plains, which results in those ports having a total of 7 spaces that the sea units can be.
at 36K funds between both players. there's not enough funds to distribute to balance the
Com Towers (even giving each player one isn't going to help that, com towers are just too
powerful with a few equations of funds) the seaports won't really do anything besides
acting like cities. the airports, considering an 18K funds for 3 bases and an airport, isn't quite
enough. it works, but from a map battle standpoint, it really needs a few more pieces of
property to keep the heavier air units functioning. the map is very choked, with all of the
forests, even with the pipeseams turning into plains, it's going to be a long and arduous
battle.

From an aesthetical perspective, the pipe seams will look kind of ugly when broken in huge
numbers. Some of the shoals look wrong (directional and such), the mountains, seaports,
Lab, and all of the pipeseams that are next to the central shoals look like they should be
doing something useful. The massive amount of forests in straight lines doesn't help to break
up the map from it's Pipeseams. While symmetry is an important aspect of making maps fair,
the map looks so busy that it gets overshadowed by the sheer over terraining.

At least the chokepoints are temporary.
