Looking great EXCEPT one point: It's left vs right. The development phase will take ages
for both countries. Also, the FTA counter has to be on the right base, not on the left one.

Thanks for your comment, I fixed the FTA mistake. About the length issue... I don't know how
I should "fix" that.
Making more bases would be overdoing it. Or shall both start with the 3. base(The ones near
the towers) already taken, which would speed things up?

Edit: But then again, FTA issues might become a pain again... damn.

I think the number of bases is fine, especially considering the size of the map and the number of properties.
Harti, I disagree about the length of the development phase. It shouldn't take more than 6-7 days for that early
capture phase to begin and each side to begin building tanks and artilleries, as well as contesting the airports
and middle properties. I think the map is very nicely designed, and the placement of the bases is a major part of
that.

The only suggestion I would make is switching the location of the airport and tower for each side. Having the
airport so close to the contested front sways the outcome of each front a bit too much, as it's very difficult to
stop a copter swarm, backed by tanks from the base when the airport is so close. Contesting the tower instead
of the airport has less of an impact, and moving the airport back from the front should alleviate the issues with
copter rushes.

Not sure how i managed to hit post twice...

Thanks for your suggestion, I agree so I just swapped the positions of the airports and towers!

I would make the corner neutral base a little closer to the starting bases, it can be disrupted by a
day 2 recon right now. You could also break up the roads to the neutral base a bit to help.

I like the map otherwise, I'd give it an 8/10.
