Heavily inspired by
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetrapod_(structure)

Once there was a collection of scattered atolls containing large numbers of endangered and possibly useful corals.
Scientists, eager to get a chance to be still able to study these corals, immediately constructed a lab and some enclosures
around the largest atolls.

However, the general area is known for very high winds (and therefore, waves), and thus giant concrete tetrapods were
constructed around the main lab for protection. Decades later ..

Sediments from the continents, carried by rivers, swept along by oceanic waves, have found themselves a home in
between these tetrapods. Over the course of time, the atolls became shoals, then mudflats, then plains, then scattered
islands, then a single giant island.

Some coconuts and mangrove seeds somehow found their way into the island and formed the first forests ever to be seen
in the area. And with the arrival of these plants came crabs, various shellfish, and other fauna usually found on sandy
shores.

Despite this drastic change in the ecosystem, some of the reefs which were studied by the scientists are still alive and
thriving between the forests.

Then private contractors somehow found value in this inadvertently created artificial island, and then what used to be a
peaceful, scattered collection of atolls has come to this.

Now, you can fight on this island, because this is AWBW. Hell yeah.


The center may be chokey due to the tetrapods, but I think I've put enough on the sides for people to fight over.
If ya guys have comments/complaints, lemme know.

inb4 anyone complaining "that's not how tetrapods work," "that's not how large actual tetrapods are," "that's not how
islands are formed," "sediments couldn't possibly settle between tetrapods that large," or "corals can't possibly live
completely surrounded by anything not coral or seawater"

I claim artistic license, ha!

Pls add a 3rd army to represent the crabs who just wanna defend their
ancestral land

Lol I think I've found a fellow biology nerd!

Neutral bases seem too contested at first glance
liandry (07/24/2016 12:12am | Edited: 07/24/2016 12:33am):
What if I put another pipeseam vertically above/below the pipeseams?
EDIT: crabs
Everdan (07/24/2016 01:55am):
The main problem I foresee is that recons will get to harass the neutral base long before your footsoldiers can
get there to cap it. I suggest moving the neutral base closer to the 2 main bases.
liandry (07/24/2016 02:44am | Edited: 07/24/2016 02:45am):
Offshore bases, then. Added some more forests so people can't just rush mid from the new base.

Those are clearly piggies, not crabs.

liandry (07/25/2016 12:54am):
Oh dear, why'd you introduce me to dudeman33

Now I can't do anything else consciously but laugh.
Bamboozle (07/25/2016 01:34am):

ESTUPIDO BAMBOOZLE IS FA (FAKE AMIGO) SEND MESSAGE TO AMIGO123 NO SPACE TO PROVE REAL
ACCOUNT. True amigo only make SFFFM (SUPER FUN FUN FAIR MAPS) all other amigo es FAKE.
ESPTUPIDOCABEZA!
liandry (07/25/2016 11:34am):
Can't be bothered to solve a mystery puzzle right now so:

Who the hell is the real amigo?
liandry (07/25/2016 11:38am | Edited: 07/25/2016 11:38am):
I'm guessing it's amigo1234
Xmo5 (07/25/2016 01:54pm):
Well yeah, but there was also a fake amigo1234 (I think a couple actually) whose name
looked identical in map comments etc.

For example, see:

liandry (07/26/2016 01:26am):
I thought the guy was talking to himself... would've made it more hilarious.

...so does this mean I can create a liandry clone? That'd be nice.
Context (07/26/2016 05:16pm):
also possibly the best one http://awbw.amarriner.com/prevmaps.php?maps_id=59962
