Welp, cranked out a new map right after the site came back on. We'll see if this one's alright,
I'm definitely conflicted on the mountain towers, they should probably be cities if anything.
Each base has about four or five cities nearby, one production property, and each one is
fairly close to a tower, so you've got some good choices to make early game.

30 cities, 6 bases, 2 towers, two airports, 15+3+0+1 = 19k per team, ideally. Not sure if
that's a good amount for this map or not. Advice and crits are always welcome, this map is
as good or as crappy as you want it to be.

Edit 1: Messed up the FTA derp. Hopefully this one is the right way now.

Edit 2: Moved forests around, decreased terrain clumping.

Edit 3: Restructured cover, changed terrain around HQs, added more empty silos.

Yeah, I'm mostly sticking to the basics until I really get a feel for how many properties I want
per base, how large I want my maps to be, etc. Once I get the fundamentals down in terms
of gameplay, and to a lesser extent, aesthetics, I'll start going for more adventurous concepts
like non-standard symmetry. For now, I just need to get a feel for properly balancing maps
for 1v1.

Edit 1: Neutral bases switched out with controlled ones, per suggestion from Heartless.

It does look good. If I may make an observation though, all of your maps are looking
pretty similar. You may want to start playing around with using ocean tiles to create
different shapes of land for your maps. There's really only so much you can do with the
same "this map is all land and rivers" set-ups.

You have gotten a lot better at map-making though in your time here. Keep it up and one
day I'm sure you'll be cranking out A-Rank level maps like it's nothing! =)

Edit: Also, I'd suggest moving the infantry counter to the other base.
