Another random map with a random name. Nothing's special, it was just made for mixed bases
experiments.

Although I do want to know if the airport's bad/good or if the areas around the shores're too empty.

The center bases make things difficult here for a couple of reasons. First, they can lock each other pretty easily
with a rocket. That might not be as big of a deal because second on my list is the fact that they are begging to
be air unit magnets. Dense terrain for land units plus reasonable proximity to the airport means copters will be
swarming from the HQ area while land units attack from the other side. I don't see them having much of a
legitimate chance, but I am worried that the dense terrain will make it a bit stale in terms of gameplay, even
when that base has clearly lost its fronts.

Actually, I think this map could have a lot of potential if you took away the mixed base aspect (which means
something coming from me since I like mixed base maps). In this case, I'd make it a standard 2-base map with
one neutral base and one airport. (I'll talk about the map from GS's side) To do that, I would make the center
bases neutral and swap them with the used silo tile behind and to the right of it. You also have a road/shoal
symmetry error here. Then I'd probably move the airport north a little bit, maybe swapping it with the city on the
other side of the road. I would also open up the path through the center area a bit more by getting rid of the two
river tiles on either side of the current center base location, and maybe even the mountain to the NE of it as well.
Lastly, I would add a city in the spot north of the HQ, diagonally between the two used silos. (I would delete one
or both of those... you could also get rid of a couple forests bordering the shoal line from the other side too)

Anyway, I know those are some radical changes, but I think it could work out nicely. You could even replace the
center two mountains with pipe seams to offer the potential of a direct center route in the later stages of the
game.

Thanks Xmo5! I made the changes and it does looks a lot better :D
Xmo5 (04/30/2016 11:27pm):
Wow, those changes actually do look really good! If you're interested, set up a private game (fog off, ban the
broken 5) and message me so we can play a test game. :)

The terrain in the middle needs work now though. It's very heavy for the current N/S setup, and would need to be
lightened a bit to prevent stalemates.
