Interesting map. Apparently it should be a team game ALL vs GS and GS symbolizes the zombies.

Unfortunately the map creator did not add a description and the recommenadation of the
game settings.

As the other players have a lab and GS does not own a lab most units can and should be put
as lab units. As there are no sea units and no air units, all land units with the
exception of infantry and mech should be Lab units.
I would ban Megatanks

CO bans is a lot harder and also influences balance. I would ban the broken 5 and all mass
damage

Probably GS will need a boost. E.g. some more places which are harder to block

I would add to the previous comment and say that medium tanks should be considered as a ban, esp if andy is involved.
They are cheap enough to somewhat flood here and plug chokes, and by the time the mechs whittle it down substantially the
player can just build another and replace it while pulling the first one back to heal, which makes it near impossible for grey
sky, esp if indirects are put behind the md tabk

To add to the chain:
Personally I would allow Md. Tanks, since they're the only mid-tier unit that takes a few mech units to chew through. Without
Md. Tanks (and banning everything above it) two mech units can destroy any unit, and the only way the survivors could win
is by having a wall of infantry and artillery. However, there are so many holes and (relatively) so few bases, it's not a winnable
game. The way I see it, the zombie games have two outcomes:
1) Zombies win because they overrun the survivors, or
2) Survivors sustainably wall themselves in from the zombies, forcing a defacto draw.
Taking away Md. Tanks makes it nearly impossible to stop zombies.

Although, perhaps a happy balance would be to allow for Neo Tanks. Funding tends to be tight in games like these, so
survivors would have to stretch for the cost, but it would still give them the chance to have some heavy armor, and it would
prevent the Zombies from easily getting "walled out".

That said, I still think allowing Md. Tanks is the way to go; It's one thing to repel an enormous force, but it's another to have
to coordinate with 2 other players to do it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Having Played this I feel giving Zombies access to Recons would make the Humans have a reason to make tanks. As it stands
Tanks are kinda useless against this mech tide and cycling infantry in chokes from the bases with art back up to chip in coming
attackers makes this rather easy and not as nuanced as it could be. Recons also add more reach than the 3 or 2 movement of
infantry.

Either way a fun map but not too hard to create a good wall and sustain for humans. Unsure how fun it is for the zombie player.

id agree with the above player tho apc for the zombies side will allow a bit more of a rush (similar to zombies in other games)
while recon is a decent idea its just a slightly better infantry
