Intended Settings:
- Team play. GE and BM vs. OS and YC.
- Standard funding
- Unit bans: Stealth, Black bomb
- Lab units: Piperunner, Battleship, Carrier.
- COs: Ban the usual 5s and Sturm. May also ban luck tier and Lash for low-tier games.
If FoW is on, you may want to ban Sonja, there are many woods to hide units and Sonja
can break this with her (S)COP.
- FoW and weather: Optional.
- Turn/Unit limit: Up to you, recommended : unlimited/50.
- Tags: Optional. Still no Tag Powers :(

The map looks cool, but it worries me that it might take too long until the action starts. If I am not mistaken, the players need about 10 turns to even get to the main platform.

I would consider to let all players start with one of the bases and maybe also the port.

Update 1:
- Gave players a starting base on the central platform and moved FTA counters there.
- Tweaked the small island for quicker deployment. Ports are still neutral but players
now have a preowned base instead of an infantry. This should speed up things. Idk though
if I should also put some FTA counter on the small island. As it stands, each player need
3 turns to grab the port. Thoughts?

e: Thx to Watchful_Eye for the report

Update 2 [post playtest 1]:
- Moved the labs onto the player’s islands. Now you need to leave one port for your ally to share defense funding.
- Removed pipes at player’s starting bases on the main island (no need to lab/ban piperunner) and moved the set of neutral
bases.
- Remade terrain so it’s more symmetrical and allows more interesting battles
- Lash is still powerful because of empty silos but the terrain is lighter on average. It’s your call to ban her or not.
- Removed starting infs, turns out they didn’t do anything to FTA. As it stands, OS and GE have FTA, but they’re on opposing
teams.

Update 2.1:
- Put back the labs towards the center so the map has more contest potential
- Some more forests
