The games going down on this map are insane. So much happening. I really appreciate the
lack of airports on this map because it gives the Neotanks time to shine. If your opponent
stacks too many forces in one area you can focus on another, and the mixed base layout
ensures there will always be at least one weak point.

Very nice map. :)

Amazing map design 10/10

This map is amazing stuff. I had a lot of fun playing on it back during the HF tourney.

I've never play on this map before, is the FTA really fair? It visually favours BH a lot didnt it?
But GE have more wins... so it should be fair or even favours GE.. why is that?
I would like to learn about it. Please share if you know, thanks :D

The 'GL HF - Lacrimosa (Low)' settings are messed up. They're the same as 'GL HF - Lacrimosa (High)'.

Good Map, very unbalanced FTA settings. I may understand the "1 additional infantry. rule"..but 3 Infantry and 2k Income on HF Match??? That is ridiculous. A really good player has the income/unit advantage from the get-go.
- Remove BH City @03:16 and 2 of the infantry to balance.
- DO NOT PLAY HF MATCHES HERE FOR LEAGUE!!!

Everytime someone says with absolute confidence that a completely balanced map favors the second player, I lose a
little bit more hope in humanity. Anyways, it's fine to not understand HF FTA counters, I don't fully understand them
either, but let me explain:

At the start, BH has 3 infantry to GE's 1. BH is up 2 infantry.
GE starts first and builds 4 infantry. GE is now up 2 infantry.
BH starts second and builds 4 infantry. BH is now up 2 infantry.
This back-and-forth action makes unit count completely fair.

Now, for the income:
At the start, BH temporarily has 1 more city, so 10k income to GE's 8k income.
GE starts first and gains 8k funds, being up 8k (GE:8k BH:0k)
BH starts second and gains 10k funds, being up 2k (GE:8k BH:10k)
GE starts day 2, gaining 8k funds, being up 6k (GE:16k BH:10k)
BH starts day 2, gaining 10k funds, being up 4k (GE:16k BH:20k)
after that, the extra city is capped by BH, and the two players play a normal game.

It's unbalanced. I lost as GE here.
Mewtwo (10/18/2021 02:38pm):
i wish this map could be filtered out because it's torture to play on
Operation Mechstorm (11/30/2021 09:38pm):
In my experience, getting vehicles to the center early is of utmost importance. The large number of fronts paired with the ability
to pivot easily from the center means you can apply pressure very easily which translates to winning contested properties (or
opponent loses material on bad trades, either way you win)
Lucifer2501 (12/10/2021 04:55am):
Not my favourite. I get the multiple fronts perspective on the map but just not my cup of tea. I'd rather have 2-3 well-defined
fronts rather than spreading 4 production points into 6 to 10 fronts.

Is fun when you’re winning.Isn’t fun when you’re not.
UncivilEngineer89 (01/30/2022 10:34pm):
This map is bonkers. I've won all 4 games I've played on this map and I'm still now sure how.
ShiningForce4 (03/01/2022 10:52pm):
Black has too much to start with
Blueleader7935 (06/08/2022 03:28am):
I just hate mixed bases in general and unlike civil lost in all games in this map
including private
walkerboh01 (08/03/2022 03:06am):
Added to Hall of Fame due to being one of the most influential maps of its era, 2020-2022.
Kujo_Nagano (08/14/2022 11:29am):
This map makes my head hurt every time I'm forced to play on it
likegel (12/26/2022 01:38pm | Edited: 10/29/2023 06:39am):
A plain and unadorned land war map
evmaster1 (01/08/2023 07:47am):
Wow cool a water map with no ports! Aren't we popular on Discord?
Dong_of_JTQWN (03/06/2024 04:32pm):
Stop letting Akasha make maps. He obviously has no idea what he is doing. Just cuz you win a few games in the global league
gives you no right to create such boring HF maps. Boooooooooooooooooo
MinTaxer (03/15/2024 02:58pm):
Equal income is 50k. Eat the center (also the rich).

Who built that 1 Bcopter without an airport
jobriq (05/06/2024 09:26am):
Sensei banned for T1 on map with no airports?
BlackAkuma (06/02/2024 07:33pm):
In my limited experience, Sensei is quite strong on this map despite the airports. It's very easy for his troops to just focus on
the center and dominate it.
Floortje (07/18/2024 02:59pm):
This map is insanely fun when you're winning. Frustrating when you're losing, but get good I guess. Tons of bonkers places for
arties if you can manage to get one out

For anyone playing this map in live league, play as fast as you can. You will thank yourself in the late game when you aren't
timing out every single turn. This map is huge and you will reach 30+ units easily, making increment gaming a nightmare.
