The outer factories seem to be pretty contested, and some balance issues may arise from the
central factories being a tank's turn away.

Yeah, move the preowned bases out towards the edges of the map, and move the neutral
bases a little closer to the preowned bases. Then this map is at least playable.

Looking at your test game, it confirms what I said about the outer factories, but the central
factories might be fine, if not the best part of the map.
All it takes is 1 unit on the city to protect inner factory. I would recommend opening up the sides
to encourage fighting there. This map has a lot of potential.
Don't forget to move the outer factory back though.

Ok, I tried to follow your advice
walkerboh01 (07/25/2012 03:55pm):
The central bases are too close together. Bases need to be far enough apart so that units
built on one player's base can't attack the other person's base in one turn. And it's usually
better to put them at least two turns apart so that the first tank built doesn't really inhibit the
other player's positioning options. I would move all of the bases back towards the corners.

This is a 6/10 for me right now, and I'm decategorizing it. If you make fixes, please use this
thread - http://www.amarriner.com/awbw_forum/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=13916 - to have your
map looked at again.

I personally like the map and how close the HQ's and bases are, bit chokey on the fronts,
but nothing too bad and the fight in the middle will make up for that.

Though, as walkerboh said, the outer factories would be better a little further out, and
possible the factory touching the HQ could be moved back a bit too. I like the map though,
so 8/10.

I would suggest ignoring many of the generic suggestions above that would make this
another cookie-cutter clone map of every other map.
