BAN SAMI !! Actually you might want to throw a bboat on the HQ anyways just to prevent this
from becoming an HQ rush-fest.

This map hadn't been published for 5 minutes, and you already comment =). walkerboh01,
do you sleep?

As long as Sami and Sturm are banned, I think an inf rush would be an interestesing tactic
to try... that probably would fail. That capital is 3 squares from the player's base. The
player can make an inf, recon, or tank to attack an opponent's inf that rushes the capital.

I would prefer not to put a black boat on the capital because it would be a hard unit to
kill, and it would prolong the game.

Haha it was just a coincidence that you posted it right as I got on. And it was only 11pm
where I am when I posted. But no, I don't sleep =).

I agree that it should be easy enough to defend the HQ, but I'm just afraid because they're so
exposed that HQ rush strategies will dominate the game-play. If you bboat the HQ, it will give
incentive for players to adopt other tactics, although the HQ-rush strategy is still viable. You
can also use an APC to block the HQ instead of a bboat if you'd like, to make it easier to kill.
On the other hand, I don't think prolonging the game is necessarily a bad thing here either.

However, it's all up to you of course, and either way this map should be good fun.

I like it, except it looks too crouded in properties, and I look at it and I don't think
that anyone will be capturing that because you can set an infantry on the HQ before the
enemy gets there. 8/10 ;)
Kruegster (03/24/2011 09:23am):
3 bases, 1 airport = need plenty of properties. You need money to make the game
interesting when you have 3 bases. I don't think maps are as much fun when you have 3
bases and only earn $8000 or $10,000. It is better when you can make at least one unit like
a copter or tank every turn (once you have captured most of the properties).

On another note: this map would work just fine with 2 bases, and then taking away a few
of the properties might be a good idea.

Update: I moved the capitals slightly closer to the edges to make them less contestable.

Sami still will dominate on this map though. -Max will also be a great CO choice.

Fine... i do like small maps ..
prefer just 2 bases.
An idea... surround the whole thing with sea and convert the nuetral base to port.
