A map for zombles with. . Not a ton of zombles? This is obviously a team map vs GS, Lab
units should be everything you want in the game minus infantry and mechs. GS should be
Sensei or at least have Sensei as part of the team. The map is designed so resources are
random, don't hog too much outside of your area/the middle in your capture adventures as
having 50 factories is nice. . Except for when you have no cash. So let everyone get a piece
of factory goodness.

Why is there only one Mech unit in the back? Simple: There's 3 factories back there for you to
build mechs with and its a way to keep zombies from breaking through too early.

The area is building-heavy so Sensei can cap and then power to drop a bunch of units in the
main entrance area. . Kinda like the whole zombie movie thing where if one zombie gets in a
million seem to magically appear.

Edit; I added lots of Zombies.

Edit 2: I added a few more mechs, just because. It's easy to bottleneck so I've made it so
there are plenty of points around for zombies to actually break through. So you may be able
to bottleneck 1-2 spots.. but can you bottleneck all of them?

there is one big problem with the HQ's
if sensei cap one of them he will also get the lab of that player
so he will be able to buy all the other awsome units

CO-Dani (03/20/2013 02:32am):
True. Guess that means it would be an instant game over if any one player loses their HQ.

systericon (03/20/2013 01:43pm):
just replace all HQs with normal cities
this will reduce the players income by 1000 but i think thats the better deal

Ignorance (03/27/2013 01:23pm | Edited: 03/27/2013 01:27pm):
Also, with the zombie's HQ, if they're sensei, won't he spawn an infantry on it and
capture all of the labs?

Even with the AA's there, I'm sure a few mech spawns will slowly kill them.

Also with what Pen said, at least move CI's, GE's and BD's HQs back a few squares, they're
quite close to the pipe steams and they're even closer than the bases in the case of BD.

is there a reason why teel galaxy(ir whatever that blue green army to the left middlish sides)
tanks turn out to be artillery in the actuall game? and the apc a recon. You obviously made
some changes to the map as the model version teel galaxy and orange star were neighbors,
but now, tell galaxy has double the fundage and hqs. There is no orange star at all now.

CO-Dani (04/05/2013 03:03pm):
Weird. I have a game going on the match and OS is there just fine. . and TG has tanks and an
APC. Very strange. I'm not sure what could cause OS to vanish or for TG's units to magically
become other units.

manga_fanatic (06/06/2013 01:40am):
The players probably changed their country before the game started.

demoninnvolt (11/19/2013 09:46pm):
I played a game on this map and BDs spot was never filled, but I was able to start the game anyway. I also
saw on another game for this map that JSs spot wasn't filled. Why did this happen?

Charleslie (12/17/2013 07:33pm):
Ain't nobody got time for dem zombies.

mirddes (12/18/2013 08:24am):
why no piperunners on the outermost pipes?

Nyvelion (02/13/2014 10:28am):
Because this is saved as a 13 player map rather than 14.
That is what happens when you use labs.

matt208 (03/15/2014 08:20pm):
pink and, uh, white, dont have to worry about anything until gs gets really close

Nyvelion (09/02/2014 03:21pm):
White typically doesn't have to worry about anything.

GottaGoFast (12/05/2015 02:11am):
I have an idea
Put some infantry on the labs, one for each country. (and put GS's HQ in a different place)
That way, when a country's HQ gets captured, and a lab comes under GS's control, another country can just
recapture the lab, and GS will lose access to the non-infantry/mech units.

a9977321 (02/04/2016 12:03pm):
Sounds good, doesn't it?

SourPatchAdult (07/13/2017 06:43pm):
I think the map is glitched. Every game running on it currently only allows 13
players, however there are 14 HQs in the game. Every game has one player
missing, however their HQs and properties of the unfilled country are still
there and active. Anyone know what is causing this to occur?

SourPatchAdult (07/13/2017 07:19pm | Edited: 07/13/2017 07:19pm):
Double post

Alright, clearly the map isn't the only bugged thing about awbw, as you can
probably tell by the mass post duplicates here.

A game is going to start this week, let's see if the glitch is still a problem.

ichbinsehselber (11/19/2017 01:40pm):
This map should be rebalanced to give the zombies a better chance. There are only 2 spots
where the zombies have a realistic chance to break through. East and south.
Perhaps creating at least some double pipeseams or something would be needed. But probably
even bigger buff for zombies.

Misshatsunedaria (04/14/2020 12:35am | Edited: 04/14/2020 12:39am):
I have completed Avance Wars 1 but It is my first time in this site, Idk if this map is opened to join everyone who wants or does
it need a password? I found it said password, but I gave it enter without it and I wish to play

mrbananas (03/15/2021 03:56pm):
Currently the only way to defeat the zombies is to kill every single one while capping every city
to prevent more from spawning. This seems kinda tendious. Placing the zombie hq some place
where it can be capped would be nicer, if the humans can actually get an army outside the
perimeter and cap it they could probably kill all the zombies too, it's just going to take them 20
more days at that point.

mrbananas (03/20/2021 12:07pm):
After finishing a match I can say that victory for either side is a tedious process. Moving 500
zombies is about as boring as trying to purge all 500 zombies.

Suggestions : move all the H.Q.s to the very edge of the pipe seems. Instead of having to move
500 zombies across the map to the middle, they just have to breach a sort distance to cap and
win. In order for the humans to win the zombie hq should be located somewhere that the
humans can reach and cap in about 10 or 15 days before the zombies grow bored. To stop the
zombies from making lab units, the aa guns by the labs should be replaced with infantry who
can recap lost labs, zombies might get two turns to make lab units but that shouldn't be too
bad.

Lastly, ban the mega tank. Sensi mechs can't do anything to get past one sitting on a base in
front of a seem. They heal more than a mech can deal.

Also it might be fun to give sensi a few airports that can only build t copters to represent
airborne virus spread. Maybe even B copters as a lab unit as a little reward during the 2 turns
after caping an H.Q.

Something needs to be done so victory can happen within 15 turns for either side without
depending upon dropouts

Creepus2003 (09/15/2021 04:59pm):
yall complaining about senseis hq letting him spawn a mech but, theres a thing called COVERING IT.
if you cover it with an antiair then a mech/infantry wont spawn there.

Nemo86 (05/02/2022 12:25pm):
Another options is to do tag and have only teir 4 + sami as one pick and then let them pick
whatever for the next CO.

I'd also recomend a day limit of 30-60 days.

Niiue (02/04/2024 03:48pm | Edited: 02/13/2024 05:47pm):
My only real complaint is that trying to break through a medium tank unit on a city with sensei feels near impossible, as the MD
tank only takes two damage from a Sensei mech… which is instantly healed from being there. As such the choke points end
up devolving heavily into “slight resource drain”

ViridisViperz (03/27/2024 10:34pm):
too many zombies, I honestly feel bad for the zombie player.

Ziugy (05/18/2024 06:56pm):
I think giving the zombies 2-4 comm towers should help make the zombies a lot more of a threat OR make some of the pipe seams on the outside double wide. Allows for less infantry walling on plains or lower. Having some pipe sections with a city is useful in the case a single player has to hold multiple wall sections.

Zombie's hq should be in the bottom middle; outside for the for the "human" side to have a shot at ending the game earlier. Overall this map drags on for quite some time. Especially if you have leavers and need to reclaim sections of pipe (which has been more fun than trying to collect forces to fight outside the wall.)
