The mech's on a pipe terrain, which means that it's a choice between getting the 2 cities or capture the airport &
moving the mech closer to the fronts.
(Might be better if I switch the com-tower with one of the two cities)

I think the two cities are a more attractive option. The airport will be captured either
way, so the only real benefit you get with the mech taking the airport route is getting
access to air units sooner and having functional use of a 3k value unit later. In
contrast, you make an extra 2k of income for the duration of the game that you'd only
otherwise have access to by spending 5k on a copter.

Having air units sooner isn't a huge advantage because at that point you can't really
afford them anyway. Therefore, "spending" 3k on your mech to capture the two cities is
definitely better than spending a real 5k during the early mid game (or later) when
vehicle (and air unit) production is important. Also, the earlier you get that extra
funding the better because you make more total money that way and I guarantee you'll not
only spend less, but make more total money by sending the mech after the cities.

Also, this is effectively a 3 starting base map, and OS has FTA on 2 of the 3, meaning BH
should start owning the city next to OS's NE base.
