Hakuna Matata, it means "No Worries"!

Hey everyone, I'm back in the business of making maps. :)
Now I am not quite sure if this fta counter is correct, and if not
please tell me how to fix it. Other than that, opinions? Ratings?

The FTA is fine :)
And I did not notice that the map's diagonal symm. until I see the lab & the tower, which has a interseting
placement there.
The land fornt(ahhh.. I meant fronts) are a bit chocky, and the airports're contested, which, I don't know if
that's bad or not since there're two of them.
Also, maybe add more shoals. And if the SW base got taken it might leads to a stalemate. (which's
something I've learned recently).
About the naval part, I'm going to leave that for the 'masters' since I sucks at naval maps :P

And I did not know what that name means until today, (I'm assuming it's related to a certain movie,
hopefully.) so I guess I've learned something :)

It's from The Lion King, which is objectively and indisputably the greatest Disney movie
of all time.

What a classic.

On to the map- maps like this won't work very well if a base swap takes place and you end
up with one island vs the other. AW just isn't set up very well to handle that kind of a
battle in a competitive, PvP setup. If you do things this way, I strongly suggest you
switch the two base side to be the attacking side, so that when the lone base and airport
fall, the HQ is captured and the game is over. Also, the airport needs to be less
contested and should belong to the lone base side and I'm not a big fan of the contested
tower/lab in the corners.

EDIT: I'd also make a case for putting the CI city on the other island. Right now RF's
lone base is behind one of CI's bases on that island already and then is forced to waste a
turn going backwards to capture their city. This might change a bit once the edits I
suggested are made, but the point is that one base/front is getting the double whammy here.

Yes, it's from The Lion King. Also, I changed it up, is that better?

I thought Hakuna Matana was the new Alohan evolution for Kakuna, making it a Bug/Dragon.
Xmo5 (09/14/2016 12:36pm):
Would probably be much cooler than Beedrill.

Also, yes that's better, but it's quite chokey on the fronts.
