My first attempt at an asymmetrical map. Feedback will be needed for this one.

I'll have to look at this one sometime... favoriting so I hopefully remember.

Finally looking at this again... I'm concerned that OS will be too nimble here. On the
northern front, they can send units from their starting base in a way that allows them to
flexibly choose to send them to the middle or the north side of that front, whereas BM has
their units funneled much more predictably. If BM wants to go around the mountains the
other way, the path is significantly longer, whereas the same is not true for OS. I'm also
not sure how the base positioning will impact the relative pressure each player feels. For
example, OS has a strong 2v1 pressure on BM's north base, though BM can support a bit from
their starting base in the south. On OS's lone base side, they're further (on average)
from the two attacking BM bases, giving them a little bit more time to react and/or send
reinforcements. I think OS has a terrain advantage in the city and forest positions
between the mountains to the east (and slightly north) of their HQ.
