Alright. This map was made with an original rule to play it, but I got the feeling it could be ignored in order to play a normal match.

The way the map was meant to be played is that, with Fog of War activated, both players couldn't deploy any infantry or mechs from the bases. They can only use their 4 starting inf. to capture propeties/ launch missiles, but they could still deploy any other unit from their bases.
In order to deploy additional infantry and mechs, a player has to capture the lab in the center of the map. In order to avoid rushing, I surrounded it by pipes and added a neutral neotank guarding it. This way, if a player tries to rush the center, the other player has enough time to react.

I'm open for any feedback on this map in order to improve it. (One of my concerns ATM was that the early game might be a bit too slow, but I'll let other people decide that).

I can't tell one way or the other from your comment if you're aware of lab unit functionality on awbw, if you know it you can
just ignore this first part, but if you set infantry and mechs as lab units on game creation that will make it so those units can
only be built by a player if they control a lab, which is exactly what you want based on that description.

The neotank won't actually spawn in a game, however, it will disappear. It's a bug-turned-feature of AWBW that we call
"ghost units" and any space that they're on, you can't build units if it's a production facility, or unload transports onto the spot,
or join units on the spot.

Well, I had an idea of how labs worked, but I thought it was only for the units unlocked through the campaign (Neotanks, black boats, etc.) I later figured out that you can chose which units are blocked until you got a lab. As for the neotank, that’s a shame, but I guess the seams alone will be enough.

Thanks for the feedback.
