FTA element hopefully removed due to the 2nd factory or airport choice CO's will have to make early game.
Middle cities already owned to help alert players when someone is contesting the area there in a FOW match.
Some bridges easier to defend than others due to forest/mountain placements.

I do not think this removes FTA. In my opinion the base is superior to the airport. If the player with FTA decided
to take the base, he/she wil have FTA over his/her oponent.(assuming the are no stupid players) AB is possibly
in a very bad position. If BM tries to capture the base and BH tries to capture the airport, AB will face FTA in
any case. If he takes tries to capture the airport, BH and AB are fighting each other for a airport while OS and
BM get a base for free. If AB goes north then he will pobably run into BM who is a turn in front of AB and more
likely to capture the base, and if BM captures the base, no doubt AB can't capture it.

It is not unlikely that BM and OS would like to capture the base, and if BH knows that OS probably tries to
capture the base BH might prefer going to the airport.

it makes a large difference if you have 2 or 1 base(s) which is decided in the early game. In the first turns it will
be decided who can possibly win the game or not (probably only OS and BM can), Plus the FTA. I am sorry but
I can not give a good rating for this. I hope you can understand my reasoning though I use long sentences
(long is considered hard to understand).

Your sentences are fine, I am currently playing a game on this map in which BM rushed for the airport in the
north and is using B-coptors to harass OS who instead went south to the factory (beating BH as you said) AB
actually secured the airport in the bottom middle due to BH trying to get the factory instead, thus BH were
beaten on both sides (possibly down to bad luck, but that was kind of the point of the design)

I presume you would rather a factory either side of the one already placed allowing both players to secure at
least one and then fight over total dominance of that area?
