I personally think that when you start to remake other people's maps, you're running into very
dangerous territory. You're essentially assuming that you can take someone's work and
make it better than they can. That's saying a lot, both about your ego and about the original
mapper. So take this for what you will.

Going through maps from years past, I ran into this hidden gem by Sulla:
http://awbw.amarriner.com/prevmaps.php?maps_id=41876

Now, while I think that there are some very fundamental problems that make this map fairly
unplayable for the current metagame of AWBW, I also think that with a few small edits, it
becomes quite playable. I've been fascinated with good two-base setups recently, and
when converted to two-base, this map becomes much more playable. It also can function
not badly in Fog of War, which is something that I personally think only very few maps can
do. I've added a sub to give partial information, and skilled players will use that to deduce
what their opponents can build from the hidden base, and act upon those educated but
possibly inaccurate guesses. The central recons are still present, as are the forward but
easy-to-defend HQs. One of the many things that I have not changed that is quite important
to note is the tower placement. I may move them to a more safe location, but for now, they
stay where they are. The new Black Boats provide a very interesting new mechanic in my
opinion, and one that this map can benefit from.

I'd like to get some test games in on this as soon as possible.

Edit: Just to clarify, I have nothing against Sulla, I just liked their map idea here a lot.

Sulla made like 99% of it, check the link in the first comment. I just tweaked stuff for how AWBW
is currently played. Sulla made it years ago, 2008 I think, and it can still do great today with a
few minor edits. I don't plan on remaking any other users' maps anytime soon, just this one.

Going to sue you for this! lol

No feel free to borrow my ideas. I am very lazy when it comes to maps! lol

I noticed you moved some trees around any reason? lol

I think getting rid of the 3rd base has vastly improved play on this map. I might do a remix of this
map myself.
