Based off the first map I made on the GBA. Recommend banned COs: Hachi, Colin, Sasha,
Sensei, Kindel, Lash. Recommend played as a 2v2 team game in Fog of War.

Also, please give me some ideas on how to improve this.

Mostly, people always ban the broken 5 (Colin, Grit, Hachi, Kanbei, Sensei) because they
are overpowered on pretty much any map (with some exceptions of course). Grit is no
exception here, especially with all the chokepoints. As Veritech pointed out, Javier will
be very powerful, if not invincible, on this map as well due to an average of over 2
towers per player (Team cooperation means up to 5 towers!) The heavy stress on indirect
units on this map makes this advantage more dramatic. Sturm may also be an issue with all
the mountains and rivers.

As far as the map goes, its a little tight for my taste and will probably have stalemate
issues- there are very few fronts with more than 1 tile wide boundaries. I'm also not a
fan of all the predeployed units as they can cause less predictable results at times
making balancing hard. I assume the teams were designed to be OS + BH vs GE + BM? If not,
check out the map/description about it below. There are also a lot of other maps in that
series mostly designed for a guide on FTA, but other balance issues are mentioned here and
there.

Thanks for your help, Xmo. As to the 1 tile front; this is due to many friend made maps I fought on
the GBA so it kinda rubbed off on me. I guess I'll remake the map later.
