Moving the HQ's to 11,07 and 13,10 would help stalling out which the map, (based on the few matches i have had with it) is
very prone to

The BBoats are meant for protecting very exposed HQs, right? But these are placed in such concentrated areas that the main
armies ocupy, it really doesn't make much sense. That being said, the BB in those spots allows for some funny movements
with infantry and another repair location so I don't mind it
SuKo02 (10/13/2021 06:10am | Edited: 10/13/2021 06:15am):
@Hanakko That BBoat aims to prevent the early Rush HQ. Of course there is more than that.
For example: extra +1 movement for inf/mech units, and supply of fuel/ammo for air/indirect units, and most importantly +1hp for units.

And for most CO, design of the map aims to:
Go back and forth between 06,12 and 04,07 when using BBoat (Usually)
Go back and forth between 03,14 and 03,08 when using Lander

Sami shouldn't be banned on this map. Most people just don't know how to play against her or use her.
Lost and Found (10/25/2021 03:33pm):
Tier lists on league maps are made for the high-to-top levels of play - and while I agree
that Sami would probably be fine for most players, the very localized fighting with
decently easy mech reinforcements, one turn faster vehicle reinforcements with
landers and severe difficulty in taking back the center string of cities after a Victory
March would make her the dominating pick in tier 4 at those levels and is likely to
cause a large number of Sami mirrors there.
SonjaTheSuperior (10/31/2021 07:46pm):
Yeah Im not sure you want to allow sami here. The ability to same turn reinforce with lander compensates a lot for her
lacking d2d in vehicle fighting, and then mechs are actually strong defensive units due to how fronts are set up.

And I dont even think you get away from this for lower level players. It can get exaggerated since they are not at good at
focusing their combat (so they may keep pushing into the defensive mechs) and making use of stuff like the center. At the
same time instant reinforce means that if you brawling in that area sami will do better (of course again its for when the
overall unit value/count is smaller, which tends to be more common in these games)
Nolano (12/18/2021 12:35pm):
Is the map not being symmetrical with a forest on 02, 09 and two forests on 22,10 / 23,07 intentional? Feels like giving the
second player even more of a handycap, not being able to reinforce their COM with vehicles as quickly.

Tips for newer players:

Never forgo the center on this map
nickheck (10/16/2022 01:12pm):

so?
