107 maps and I still have no idea what I'm doing.

This map gets a Frieza/10

It looks like you tried to give the lone base a lot of strong defensive points (the mountain
chokes, the forests to prevent mobility). I think you should reverse that, and make it harder
for them to defend; basically remove a mountain or two and deforest a bit. Instead of trying to
drag out the base trade, I think the map should embrace it, because it's really well set up to
be a great battle after the base trade.

Plus, the double bases might get pulled into the middle a bit, in which case the lone base
won't need all that extra protection anyways.

Really nice map, cute name, and for someone who doesn't know what they're doing, you
sure can fake it well. =)

Made some changes or something. Not sure how much more I should open up those weak base
fronts.
walkerboh01 (04/25/2012 02:43pm):
Personally I like the changes a lot. If you end up not liking the dynamic of the base trade and
post-base-trade battles, you can also tweak it to try something else. I just see potential here for
a type of map that is very rare and hard to pull off.

I think I just need to get better at limiting my use of heavy terrain in general. I just
don't want to make maps covered with nothing but roads and plains. Could be a nice change
of pace, though.
walkerboh01 (04/26/2012 03:41pm):
I understand the sentiment, I did the same thing for a while. It's definitely a little more challenging
to design a cool map that is lighter on terrain without being all tank spam all the time.
Mori2 (04/26/2012 06:51pm):
It's like telling a new graphic designer to not pointlessly fill up all of their negative
space in their designs. Surprisingly difficult.

This map looks yummy.
walkerboh01 (05/22/2012 06:12am):
I'll edit this and leave a better comment after I play-test.
Mori2 (02/07/2013 01:06pm):
350 maps later and I still only have somewhat of an idea of what I am doing.
xushu (02/07/2013 02:17pm):
Somewhat... xD
Mori2 (02/08/2013 07:43pm):
Man, this was back when I wasn't afraid to go crazy with terrain. Now all my new maps have
that kind of streamlined feel. Might try to do this again at some point.

I think this is one of the only maps that I've ever made that handled a base trade well, too. Wish
there were more of those.
