The FTA counter is the wrong way around; CI moves before TG. Other than that looks like a
great map! :-)

Awesome; now that that's been corrected I'll give it a play =D

The game I played on this was not high funds so some of my thoughts won't necessarily be fully reflective of how the map
would be with HF.

Overall a very good map I think. I found the bases+blocking terrain well coordinated to both allow for a pretty good flexibility
in front formation and to leave the labs decently exposed. The capture phase provided some good choices as well.

Really my only complaint was the slow start due to only having 1000g at first and taking several days more than usual to get
more, but this would of course not be the case with HF.

I play in high funds and my opponent and me didn't know that laboratories are HQ's. But overall, is a good map, but change the
laboratories xd

The ports brings many strategical probabilities on this map. I rate 10.

Might be cleaner to have the starting infantry start next to the unclaimed base rather than on it? That way people won't mistake
the 'must capture this t1' for the traditional starting base and waste a turn when they reflexively move their infantry.

Definitely not speaking from bitter experience...

The only asymmetrical map that is S-rank and got into league

It's rare to find an s rank map that manages to make ports interesting/useful, without making
them required, or limited only to a b-ship port! This map is awesome!!

Ilove this map, this a map you could put air sea and land in use at the same time, more options and strategy!
Skeletonin (04/21/2023 03:49pm):
this map is actually fun unlike the other competitive map's I've played

This map is deranged, i love it
Peabnut (10/21/2023 01:42pm):
love the city placements on this map. the capture chains are at places where two different bases could reach them OR they're
the contested properties. capture chains are typically no brainers to go for, but the chains on this map require tough decisions.
Should I go for the chain? When? Which side should go for the chain? Do I break up this chain?
Sherrdreamz (02/09/2024 10:21am):
how is an asymmetrical map ok in league? the extra sea tile isnt in a purely cosmetic location either.
Rutherford Gaming (08/02/2024 11:05pm):
That extra sea tile is weird but I don't think it actually affects gameplay at all.
