A map with the same idea as my other map the widomaker, it's just been shrank down a bit.
Higher than normal funds should be used here so sea and later air units are used.

Prefer the original but worthwhile remake.

I prefer the original too, it's an awesome map, go and check how many games have been
played on it though. It's depressing right? a good map but nobody plays on it. I'm trying to
make some of my older maps smaller so they get used.
walkerboh01 (01/20/2011 04:29pm):
I think the reason it never got played on is because it wasn't categorized. I went ahead and put it
in Good 2 Player maps after taking a look at it. Also this is a pretty good remake, i could see it
being used in leagues at some point =)

Wow, i apreaciate you taking the time to look at the map and categorising it. Thank you very
much Walkerboh :) Is the two infantry FTA counter here okay, or is one enough?
airob (01/20/2011 10:45pm):
if we get along the lines of normal FTA counter of two bases = 1 infantry. this WOULD be
wrong...but...considering there is quite a big fund start. i guess itīs alrighy, you may try
removing one infantry and put a BM city at close range of OS base, however.

the map is good, i wonder if you could make changes so the HQs are more rushable..just a
thought though.
wareagle (01/21/2011 06:55pm | Edited: 01/22/2011 07:58am):
I think i'll go with your counter suggestion, not sure about the HQ idea though. It's a remake
so i'd like to keep it as close to the original as posible.
EDIT: On second thoughts perhaps the city counter would be a bad idea. OS would have to
choose between capturing the neutral base or leaving BM have an extra 1000 funds for
another day.
walkerboh01 (01/24/2011 03:49pm):
Hey no thanks needed, just doing my job haha.

And no I think the city counter is probably the best idea. The way it is right now BM gets to go
first from both of the bases, giving them an advantage on each front. If you change it to a
preowned city and infantry, then they each get to go first from one front, but BM has the extra
funding to counter a possible disadvantage from there being so many starting funds. I think
two infantry is definitely too strong, but you'll have to play around with it and test it to find out
for sure what works.

I'm just pleased someone gave the original some attention :)

I think i understand about the FTA counter now, i'll change it and see how it goes.
