For broken CO matches?

what the hell is this?
walkerboh01 (04/27/2012 05:45am):
Looks like a map to me.
BXHD (07/21/2012 01:55pm):
If you can call it a map...
Mori2 (02/27/2013 04:16pm):
Underappreciated map here. The tower mechanic alone is cool, but the the rest of the map is
awesome to boot.
walkerboh01 (03/14/2013 11:43pm):
Before throwing this in the league, just reassure yourself that the 3-preowned-base setup is
relatively balanced. Also confirm that the HQ position isn't problematic, since it is relatively
exposed. I think the potential base-trade mechanic works well for this map, and otherwise don't
have much else to say about it.
Mori2 (03/15/2013 04:19am):
The HQ has been fine in all playthroughs I have had on it. The 3-preowned-base setup also
seems to be fine, but that is slightly harder to analyze from only a few games.
flutterguy1 (04/08/2013 12:47am):
seems to be whoever wins the ports win
Walker Boh (07/07/2013 06:54pm):
You realize both sides can each win a port?
Xmo5 (08/08/2013 03:29pm):
Huzzah! I was the first player in 166 games to build a piperunner on this map :P

Apparently it was the only land unit to never have been used on this map apart from
missiles (a little surprising with 4 airports & 166 games) While I'm here, black bombs are
the only air unit not yet used (no surprise there) and obviously not many naval units have
been used at all; only bboats and battleships.

I deleted my original two comments on this map because I was worried they sounded stupid.
I will attempt to bring them back by recreating them as accurately as I can possibly
remember them.

The first one was in reply to this:
"adder andy grimm jake jess kindle koal rachel sonja "

My comment went something like this:
"Yes indeed good sir, those are several fine examples of the CO's of Advance Wars! I
believe your list to be a decent start on the path to being a list of genius and
excellence, but there are still quite a few examples missing."

The second one was in reply to this:
"this all over the public games page!"

I believe this is almost exactly, if not exactly, what my original response said:
"A masterful observation! You have shown your exceptional powers of perception and wisdom to
have made this discovery! I too have trekked to the public games page, and have been able
to verify that your hypothesis was absolutely correct!"
ichbinsehselber (07/01/2018 10:12am):
putting the second com tower on the island makes Javier 2T somewhat unattractive for
competition of the broken COs on this map. This is my only criticism at this point.
Otherwise great map
knocklok (01/28/2020 02:19am):
this map is so hard to push/defend
CoInCiDenCe (02/02/2021 02:57pm):
I wanted to choose Javier on this map but the 2T denied it.
But most of the game they aren't accessible because fund for that extra T-copter is usually unrealistic.
Maybe change the tower to something not that vital and it still can boost the owner in the late game.
schil227 (04/30/2021 05:39pm):
...the game was rigged from the start.

dision (05/05/2023 10:44am):
this map is horrible and needs to be taken out of the rotation.
Waffles (05/07/2023 12:35pm):
this map is amazing and should stay in rotation forever.

dision (05/07/2023 04:51pm):
Nah its awful, reinforcement routes are immediate and large chunks of the land on the map don't even get used because
they're useless. It just comes down to a bunch of shitty infantry spam.
FlooberDoober (05/31/2023 05:38pm | Edited: 06/08/2023 10:49pm):
Passable garbage, but why do I keep getting games on this so often.
likegel (06/01/2023 10:36pm):
LOL
However, in the future, you will play more games on this map. It has been in the map rotation pool for a long time, as well as its
HF version
apple1231230 (06/02/2023 03:10pm):
I have no idea how to ever approach this map. please stop using so many "quadrant" maps where you have 2-3 spawns
randomly thrown about. I'm sure the creator had a vision in mind how to approach this map... I don't and its not very obvious.
Sunrise (07/02/2023 05:15pm):
I feel that your best bet is to build a tank asap and place immediate pressure on your opponents solitary base. Force them to fight you there.
Meta Rexy (08/16/2023 12:18pm):
I agree that large portions of this map are barely used, and the actual fronts are smaller than
this map makes them appear.

I like the mountain placement here because although player bases are positioned quite close to
each other, the terrain discourages you from attacking via the shortest possible route, and
prevents the center from being a hopeless meat grinder.

Mixed base maps are difficult to grasp for less experienced players, but the general idea is to
try and take your opponent's weak base in the corner before the airports come online and
copters halt your momentum. Of course, this isn't the only strat, and your opponent can send
backup sooner from their own 2 bases, but it's a start.
likegel (09/26/2023 01:06pm | Edited: 09/26/2023 01:24pm):
For what? rigged?

In fact, the first tank on this map is very important, and 2HKO is the key. And P2 can do it earlier.

1 rating for unfair starting
start (10/14/2023 07:30pm):
In the past, were there ports in the northwest and southeast?
SonjaTheSuperior (02/26/2024 08:23pm):
@start I think you recall the hf version, which has ports and islands with cities.
