By design, it looks as though OS and BM have a slight advantage for location. Their bases
can support each other quickly and easily. I'm looking at distances, for the starting
placement. OS and BM have easy access to two cities from one base, but the second base
can't reach anything immediately. however, it can the reach any of it's remaining 2 cities and
base the turn after.
GE and YC on the other hand have access to 2 cities and the airport easily. but they really
have no third city or base that they can reach without being in heavy contestion with OS
and BM. Which would in general put them at a fund disadvantage despite having the airports
on the map.
YC and GE's bases that are surrounded by the mountains don't look very easily to protect.
I'm not sure if 42 property in total is going to make the airports particularly useful. since there
are 4 countries vying for it. you might, might be lucky to get 12 property. and with 3 bases
per country, it's going to be hard for any air units to keep up with such a stead stream of
land units.

Next, OS and YC have pretty much all chokepoints between each other, the same can be
said for BM and GE. If it's a team battle (OS and YC versus BM and GE) then I could
understand it. spitting 21 property between a team. But, otherwise there's going to be some
problems with combat.

I'd also like to point out that 12 bases is a lot for a map that's this size (it's a lot smaller than
the map dimensions appear because of all of the rivers and sea tiles.

ITs Teams. Split down the middle.

You should have mentioned that before I commented. my comment would have been very
different.

My bad. Haven't made a new map in years.

Yeah, usually you comment before publishing... before reading that, I thought it was OS+GE
vs. BM vs. YC
