Nice little map, it should play pretty well. I like the floating cities haha.

Is there a reason you chose not to just have the two neutral bases preowned though? All this is
doing is making the first part of the game take a couple extra days longer for no apparent
reason.

This counter is adapted for higher funds per turn games. I recommend 3,000 funds per turn
for this map.

I added a second airport. That should make games on this map more interesting when played
with increased funds.

Never mind.

Ah that makes sense then jhuni, I think it looks like it should work pretty well for a high funds
map.

Clever idea ! not seen this before... seems to allow game-creator to set almost ANY
INCOME and remain reasonably fair with sort of all purpose fta counter.

I think this idea should be explained for people, as it took me a while to see what was
going
on here... at first it looked just symmetric ! Well okay, i will explain for newbs and
whoever..... The infantry are asymetrically placed so that one player first gets one base and
then the 2nd player gets 2 (both) and then following day the 1st player gets his other
base...
so theres a kind of balancing, which seems pretty good for any income level .. this is good
for setting up a high income map, which can allow earlier purchase of heavier tanks and
expensive units.
With 3 bases this map might still get quite a lot of units ... with recon ? spam, instead of
infantry spam... ALSO BAGS I GET THE RED-- because i want to have the 3rd base first !! i
think it must help me.= imbalance./fta... though small.
Also, Perhaps with just 2 bases the game might be less stand-offish with less
units for shielding artillery. Well it could be quite a different kind of game anyway.
Interesting either way imo.

Good one.

Interesting concept. For the concept to fulfil its purpose it seems that Sturm must be in the
ban list.
blanci1 (09/01/2011 06:15am):
yeah thnx ichbin.

Actually i think for test games we could try without CO powers at first... ... i think
there will be enough dynamics as it is ... and lots of choices and imbalances... we may
not need powers to provide instability /avoid standoff/draw............ indeed with high
funds and potentially lots of damage the COP SCOP s will be charging up perhaps too
frequently and it will become more a matter of choosing the best CO rather than any
careful strategy over deployment and engagement.

it looks bland :\

There's nothing terrain-wise to make this map interesting really.
walkerboh01 (11/29/2017 04:57am):
I moved this map into Innovative to recognize it as the first map to use this type of FTA counter for high funds
games.
walkerboh01 (08/03/2022 12:01am):
This map was now moved into Hall of Fame for the reason stated above.

Piece of history this one. Like the Spann island of high funds apparently.
