This turned out way better than expected. One of my best recent maps by far.

Looks like a fairly interesting map, although it's pretty open in the center.

And I'm pretty sure BM has STA. That central base is way more valuable than the base near
the corner.

Edit: Good points there, mori. Still don't like the center, but it looks fine.

As always, I appreciate the feedback.

However, the center isn't really open with all the forests/cities, the heavy terrain locks up
movement pretty well. Also, the corner bases are incredibly important. The tower will likely
be protected from a tank or artillery from that base, the corner city/mountain setup is for
pressuring the city 2 tiles away from the shoals, and it's the base responsible for capturing
the bottom/top collection of mountain cities. There's also potential for mech production from
there, although the airport, the river, and the pair of cities nearby (perfect for artillery
camping the city across the river) is placed in such a way as to give players options against
mech spam from that area. Trust me, I'm at like 400-500 maps total, it's pretty hard to make a
2 base start map with STA at this point, haha.

3 base start can get messy occasionally due to the inherent nature of the best known FTA
counter for that setup, but at this point 2 base start STA calculations is just capture phase
math and how that transitions into midgame options, and whether those midgame options are
mostly symmetrical for both sides or not.
