For aesthetics, I think you should make all of the bordering ocean tiles also shoals. Looks a little disjointed
there as it is currently (the shoals are pretty though).

Otherwise this looks nice, though the city positioning might be skewing battles a bit too strongly to the
center.

Thanks for the feedback!
I had the same thought after uploading it, looking at the sea/shoals again, might go ahead and
change them. I haven't fully tested out the map yet so will likely move about some of the cities.

Another thing to keep in mind for balance purposes is the relative importance of each base.

For BM, the base with the starting inf will be responsible for capturing the neutral base, has 4 cities that
are capturable within 1 turn of an inf being built, and will be responsible for contesting all 3 cities in the
center.

Meanwhile the other base has no base or airport it will capture, only 2 cities within a 1 day range, and will
be responsible for contesting at most one city.

Because of this disparity, whichever player can move from the central base first (in this case BM), will
have an immediate advantage in the game. You want to try to minimize this disparity to make your map as
balanced as possible.

placed in A-rank, despite the issue pointed out above
should still be fixed, though

I am playing a non-competitive match on this map and I think the map has some very nice traits.

@walker, Using the Lander, OS is the first to get the neutral base, so that is a benefit for OS. However BM has the FTA counter on the central base, which is the most important base, as it has 4 properties nearby and it is responsible for capturing the central cities.

I like how agressive this map is and I think it promotes interesting play. I think Kindle and Max could be very good on this map and I think I would prefer them over OIaf or Eagle. Maybe Max and kindle can even match Javier, so this could be very interesting.
