In the world of Plate Land, 4 countries were fighting for centuries over an uninteresting
normal terrain. Suddenly, the Evil Loli Sorceress appeared, and opened four gates to the
Dark Side.

Units descending into the Dark Side are trapped forever here, but they are able to send
income back.

This map is for 4P FFA multiplay. There is a primary front where you can build land units
and capture HQs, and a secondary front with a high amount of properties. You can only send
2 units per turn with the landers. The Black Boats are here to refuel the landers, you
don't gain anything if you move them out of the pipes. Beware, it's a one-way trip! You
won't be able to send your units back, so choose carefully what units to send.

Ban the broken five (especially Grit), and Jake (with his 6-range rockets). For lab units
sets, you can pick:
- Rocket, Md.Tank, Neotank, Megatank, Battleship
- Recon, APC, Artillery, Tank, Anti-Air, Rocket
- Rocket, Battleship
- Black Boats, Sub, Battleship
- anything you feel like, but no Infantry (since players don't start with the same number
of Infantry)

Wow this looks epic. I especially like how you set up the idea that you can't get units back that
you send over. if you'd like a playtester i'm game.

You forgot a PC inf.

That, or you added one you didn't want.
amthc356 (10/24/2010 01:22am):
actually, it doesn't matter, since that area of the map's not accessible. The silo in the
middle of the swastika might cause problems, though.

@ walker: The idea that you can't get units back comes from Gunmetal Alice's map:
http://awbw.amarriner.com/prevmaps.php?maps_id=26153
Sadly, this idea doesn't appear often, even in 1v1 maps.

@ funwes: The PC inf is the human form the Evil Loli Sorceress choosed to appear with.

@ amthc: Central properties somewhat unbalance games, but in 4P FFA, it doesn't really
make the game unfair. The silo is in my opinion the best balance between playability of
the overall map, and chaos of the secondary front.

Maps like these are always just so cool, and fairly rare.

do the mountain-subs imply this to be a Fog-intended map?
