FTA counter should work fine and I believe it should be Sami-proof as well. I'm hoping the
bboat on the HQ will get to see some legitimate transport use later on in the game as
well, since i gave it that option.

As usual, I was too lazy to thoroughly check symmetry so please point out any mistakes.
Also, constructive feedback is always welcome and encouraged, as are extreme admiration
and zealous map praise. =P

Your maps are so flawless and sleek.
I just wish I had your technique.
Your skills surmount,
and I cannot amount,
For this glory prevents me to speak.

*ahem* ALTHOUGH....
1. At bases near airports: Inconsistency with a nearby forest
2. Near blue moon neutral base, a plain adjacent to 2 seas, 1 V.road and a city needs to
be shoal

That map name though... we need answers. Are the two sides fighting to protect
an endangered colony of howler monkeys? Are the monkeys doing the fighting?
Is the map shaped somehow like a howler monkey?

It's actually a combination of the 3 and then some, with a meta twist. You see, two
endangered colonies of howler monkey warriors are fighting for survival due to the limited
number of resources on their howler-monkey-shaped island (of which you can only see a
small fraction, of course). In an unexpected plot twist, the howler monkey tribes actually
recruit other cohabiting animals to ride the monkeys into battle, using the quick and
nimble steeds as vehicles for destruction.... of other quick and nimble steeds with
similar riders doing the same. There's actually a third howler monkey faction
orchestrating all of this, hoping that many of the others will die, reducing to population
to a manageable size, and also leaving them in control while putting them in good favor
with the survivors by tending to the wounded. Some of the monkeys in the third faction are
even trying to get rich off of this scheme in various different ways, including, but not
limited to: Supplying the warring factions with supplies, being paid for information about
the opposing faction, selling seats to the show, preemptively putting the warring monkeys'
properties on the market, modifying the insurance policies of soon-to-be-deceased monkeys,
and of course, organizing bets for the winning side with the help of the underground Black
Mamba Mafia. The BMM obviously gets a cut, but the powerful connections go a long way, so
competition for the BMM's endorsement is fierce.The combination of those aspects are
designed to be so overwhelming that map viewers and players can't help but howl like
howler monkeys in excitement and awe.

I can't believe you didn't pick up on that...



Oh, and JPM(organ), I've got something to say to you:

That limerick is sick,
but I'm a little bit mad
Imma say this real quick:
Your comment is bad!

The poem was fine
and so was your name
but those middle 4 lines
made me feel so ashamed

You've left me no choice
my vengeance will come
I'm raising my voice
so that *you* can feel dumb!

It's high time your lame rhyme's blame game died or became tame same's mine!

I like the rhyming.
10/10 for everyone involved.
I'd join in if there was something here I wanted to sing about... can't think of anything.
Xmo5 (06/05/2015 05:16pm):
I was actually thinking you'd do exactly that as I typed your name! I might have had the
wording and spelling wrong, but hey, I didn't use the word "exactly" because that... wait,
yes I did. Disregard my previous statements and allow me to start anew.. ... As I was
typing, I had a feeling you'd comment!

Also, yay team! Everyone loves a 10!
