though more "normal" than almost every other map I've designed, I still tried something I
thought was unique. The map is divided into mady 5x5 islands, and 2 7x7 for hq islands,
connected by 3x5 or 5x3 lands, with the power of each island being close to it's size. The
catch here is, islands alternate is owner, each surrounded except for hq's, so there will
be units gets killed on 12-16 fronts, depending on how you count it, a number which goes
down as you take enemy islands, all until one side gains enough influence to push towards
the other hq for the win.

It's kind of hard to balance a map like this, so I gave BM some infantry. Probably not
100% counter to FTA, but it's something.
HQ islands gets more resources so that one player can't just expect to attack it from the
nearby island for an early win, that won't work.

I'll accually take suggestions for this map, it is something new and I want to know what
others think of it, especially since I don't make semi-serious maps often.

oh, also I'd like to make an irrelivant and bizarre note that after making several maps in
my "The _____ worst map ever made" series, it was hard to make this and resist the urge to
put submarines on mountains, place megatanks in the ocean, make shoals facing the wrong
direction, etc.

Hm, kinda reminds me of Distraction and Controlled Chaos. Good job.
Kiyobi (02/07/2006 07:02pm):
I really like the design of this map.

I think BM has a bit to much advantage even if they go second...
Nyvelion (02/13/2006 09:24pm):
I'm testing it right now as both sides... but I can't tell if there's advantage because
I'm winning both easily...

I would have to say this is the most sane map that you made but still one of the most creative
maps I've seen. I like it how it is.
