Anyway, overall this is a pretty interesting map (mixed base maps usually are). I think it
suffers the most from proximity of enemy bases and overall chokiness.

There aren't many paths between enemy bases and they're kind of tight, which restricts the
battle a good bit and leads to standoffs or stalemates. I say proximity is an issue
because rockets and missiles can lock enemy production facilities while still being very
close to home. There's even a case where an artillery can lock a base (near the airports).

I suggest providing more paths and more open paths. Watch for locations where indirects
can cause issues and move the airport to a safer location.

Edit: I also want it to be clear that I picked up on the Spongebob reference before I even
clicked on the map... in fact, the hope that it was a Spongebob reference is the primary
reason I clicked on the map to begin with.

All right - I've fixed it up a bit, by moving the HQs closer to the middle and realigning the bridges, so
that the far left and right paths can also turn into battle fronts.

And yeah, I name most of my maps after SpongeBob quotes, even if they're not directly SpongeBob-
themed. :p

Aside from indirect-unit issues, imma say people are gonna mech flood here, especially early game.
Why build a tank if it can't move very far, right? Mechs.

I also find that the airports are kinda useless here; by the time you can make a copter without
screwing up your funding, the opponent will have an AA within range of your airport. Add a mech or
47264836820047, and the airport might as well be just a city.
