Quick 2v2 map I made for LiteS to use in an AW board game. I think there might be some
issues I want to work out, but the target audience will not be familiar with the AWBW
meta, so I don't think it will be a problem there. Also, there are some modifications to
game mechanics to make the board game more playable, so it's hard to consider how those
changes would impact the meta. (Though towers seem to be a bad idea.)

The one thing that I'm concerned with is that the funding might not be high enough for 5 bases and an airport per
side. Otherwise this map hits all the right things.

Proper team fta counter, nice spread of property, open, but not too open, chokes but not too many. an
Emphasis on continuous combat. Spread of forests, I'd personally add a few more by all the plains by the HQ's,
but that's really up to a personal preference.

Hmm, good point. It does look fairly bland by the HQs and through the center. Actually,
I'm seeing now that one of the forests I took out (so I could move it) never got replaced
nearby... it was just behind the HQs, sort of near the neutral base. But yeah, I'll fix
that, thanks! (I also just noticed a symmetry error- I never gave BM two cities near their
bases like I did OS... woops!)

On funding, my thought was the OS/BM should end up with something like 13k while their
partners would end up with something like 11k. Normally that would be a bit base heavy,
but I think the people who will be playing this board game probably won't have the "fill
every base every turn" meta as engrained as we do here. At least that's my hope... it was
getting pretty city crowded and I wanted the 3 base vs 2 base + airport setup. :P
