Second map attempt. Name inspired by PS1 title Critical Depth.
Feel free to leave any tips on map making. Thanks!

It would be nice to add a bridge or two over the river. Perhaps remove the mountain 2W of the southern
TG base, and put a vertical bridge 2W 1N of it? That will help create multiple fronts so that units aren't
only coming from one direction.

A couple other minor tips:
- It's not a good idea to put both towers so close to each other. Contested towers are okay, but it's not
good when one player can easily take both. That's a strong advantage.

- It's better to put the HQ in a slightly more exposed position, maybe somewhere near where the bboat is.
That helps games end in a reasonable time frame in situations where one player refuses to resign
(preventing stalling).

In general you'll want your maps to be just a little bit larger to really facilitate top-level gameplay. But with a
couple improvements, this can be a nice map for its size. Major improvement over your first map already!

Thanks for the tips! I've made some improvements, mainly the addition of bridges and the moving of the HQs.
You'll also notice that the Comm Towers are now mountains, which I think looks really nice with the shoals.

I've also decided to post a song from the soundtrack of the game that inspired this map. Because why not?

Minor hotfix, didn't realize Acid Rain has the second turn on this map. Shows how new I am to this, lol.
