A couple general tips to improve on your map and any future maps:

First, symmetry is highly recommended especially for those with little experience making
maps on AWBW. Maps and games play *very* differently against real people and if one player
has more access to certain properties or terrain than another, it will clearly show in a
match between equals.

Second, throw in some terrain variety in the middle parts of the map. You have some
scattered properties, occasional mountains and forests and 1 fairly straight river. Try
adding roads to connect the cities. Make some small mountain groupings and sprinkle some
forests around to break up the plains. maybe give the river some interesting curves and bends.

Lastly, try and make the two sides of the river more accessible. Right now there are 4
bridges and 1 is blocked by a mountain. Its going to be a real pain to get any real
fighting going because most people will just want to line artillery and rockets up on
either side of the river. (Probably mostly artillery- rockets aren't getting anywhere too
quickly on this map)

Anyway, that's just some friendly advice on how to improve on your map making. Hopefully
you have more maps to come, but just remember, there's a *lot* to learn about how to make
fair, playable, and fun maps on this site and it will take practice (and probably some
criticism). Believe me, I've been there before (about 5 years ago) and I still say I'm
certainly no expert! Good luck!
