Reefs are supposed to correspond to the location of random islands.

After playing once, I can say it's a pretty bad map. I do kind of like the look of it, so I'm releasing it anyways.

Some history things that gone wrong in this map:
- US have less funding than Japan.
- Pearl Harbor is not a harbor.
- There is no Russian.
- Others Asian country actually have a (solid) chances to defend against Japan.
- No nukes.
- No airport, hence no aircraft.
- Infantry can block a whole shoals so landing troop is almost impossible (again, no aircraft)
- AR isn’t VietNam :< and BD isn’t China. RE not having any troop in Singapore.
Some good thing i like about this map:
+ It’s made by Surto.
+ Geography map is awesome.
+ Have I mentioned that it was made by Surto, he/she is a really nice guy (human being)
In conclusion 9/10. Why not 10/10 ? Because FTA thats why.
*Dont take anything in this comment seriously, except the fact that Surto is nice.

Well thank you, I didn't know I had a fan.

The main problem with this map was actually that it was way too cramped, sea battles took long to build up and the
mainland was Infantry-spam zone. Once a country did take over another, they had a vastly greatly chance to win, and
because info doesn't spread well on the map it ended up accumulating in a snowball effect. As you said, the shoals were
bad too, the terrain didn't help much with encouraging interesting gameplay decisions.

On other maps, these issues could be mostly negated by banning infantry (only mechs allowed) and/or turning on high funds,
but my gut is telling me those tricks won't help much on this map.

Perharps a team game with the Bottom 4 VS the 3 Mainland Countries VS Japan and USA would work better?
