This area was once a thriving industrial zone until economic collapse caused it to be
abandoned; today, only the rusting edifices of the abandoned factories remain. Other than
a few facilities on the outskirts of town, they're only good for scrap metal.

Moving on, you can see that each side has a predeployed Carrier sitting on a Comm Tower.
You thus have a choice between the Comm Tower's attack bonus and the cover provided by
your Carrier. Since there's only four cities per side on this map, Sensei is probably OK
to use here. Ban the other 4 brokens and Sturm.

Interesting premise. The comtower boost seems more beneficial overall but the carrier virtually dominates the
surrounding airspace if the enemy airforce gets too deep. It also removes the possibility of flipping the tower if
you're forced back unless the other side prepares to take out the carrier specifically. Although I still think the tower
is too good to pass up -- it's like that in most maps, but it's still a neat choice here.

I like the carrier idea :)

Now if only I could remember the password to that account so I could make my edits.... hmmm

Heh, I guess it's no surprise that I wasn't the first to think of this idea.

I agree that the Comm Tower boost is a little more desirable, but moving the Carrier/Tower
to a more central position could make it too inconvenient to use air units.

You should add an "FTA-counter"—something to counter the natural advantage of going first.

Whoops, forgot about that lol. I'll add it after the test game.
edit: Aaaand done, thanks for pointing that out.

Copters seem to be quite a lot of trouble to counter on this map.
Maybe put the bases a bit closer?
