This is a fog map.It is more suitable for FoW games.

The properties that require pipe destruction or naval/air transports aren't very valuable considering the cost, also the comm
towers are pointless as each player will get one(because it is so close to their base), and will not allow the opponent to take it
(for the same reason), other than that a very well done map, especially with two bases, as those are sadly quite rare. 9/10
Would also be nice if the armies faced each other

Played several games on this map, I think it's great! There are two fronts that generally are supported by one base and one airport, making it so that every unit matters a lot. I agree about the Com Tower placement, I would swap them with one of the cities around the central mountain.
Love the recon too behind the pipe, adds more decision making: do you ignore the fact the opponent can see you and go for full tempo, or do you want value?

If you need to predeploy any unit other than the balance infantry for player 2, then the map is not competitively viable. Needing
to give free intel to players and creating byzantine pipe paths detracts from the map. Good concept but needs more work.

I hate maps with free eyes on my builds.

The capture limit being at 26 is a bit too low for this map. I reached 26 without map control and it ended the game
anticlimactically. I think it should be set to 28. That way you would need everything contested or something in your opponents
area.

Kindle is broken in this map. her urban blight makes it so that you don't have a boat on HQ and makes it so that you can't
capture the locked cities before the game is over, giving her an unfair 2 cap advantage for no reason. plus, this is a map she
would be good anyway because of how properties are positioned in this map. no reason to go any other CO in this... not sure
why it's in S-rank...

Great map!

This map is in the Hall of Fame as one of the most influential competitive fog maps.

Definitely one of the best maps I've played in terms of small size + simple design + highly complex decision-making.
