Fairly uninspired, will finish at some point. Probably a good map for AWBW beginners.

Man, I have nothing left to say on your maps. No obvious mistakes, very nicely terrained,
should play well... Might as well just c/p that onto every map comment. xD
Mori2 (04/15/2012 05:34pm):
Oh you.

Well what I really meant to say was "it takes a much more in-depth look for me to give you
any criticisms, and who has time for that?". Today, the answer is me.

As far as this map is concerned, I think you're going to see a no-man's land develop on the
wings, with the center heavily contested. It's going to be really hard to advance towards the
HQ area though, and the opponent has no reason to move off there -- could be kinda
stalematish if not for those central cities.

Might also be nice to add a bridge to the river near the airport, more for aesthetics and
smoothness of the capture phase than anything.
Mori2 (04/24/2012 09:58pm):
Yeah, I thought that as a map designed for beginners at AWBW (Which is an odd concept, I
know), I would mix the stalemates of the side fronts with the crazy rushes of the center front,
hence those mid cities. I'll get on those edits soon enough though, I have work for 2 more hours,
I'll likely be able to manage that before I head out tonight.

Added the bridge. Oh right, also, the HQs are so easy to defend because beginners are usually
not all that great at defending their HQs. I wanted to put emphasis on useful terrain for defense
and for offense in obvious ways, but maybe I went a little overboard with that. Will test for
problems I guess.

It's playable. From tests, as with most maps with forward towers, going for both is generally
a losing strategy, and the tower on top of your HQ is what you should try to secure,
especially with all that defensive terrain. The nice thing is that since the center is so
contested, the wings have the potential for some HQ threats, which is just nice in the mid
game to keep the middle from getting boring. I'd say an 8, but it might get moved down to a 7
if it gets boring over time.

Moving to G2P if that's alright.
