Very enjoyable one v one map. Clearly drawn, well balanced, with a triangle of strategically important islands the key to success (suggestion: their malus could be even greater than the current value of minus one). Since it's a one v one map, I would like to see both parties starting exclusively on opposite ends of the map, though perhaps the creator of the map deliberately wanted to add some spice to the mixture, to avoid a 'mirror' image map as there are already quite a few. For me, the Cuba map remains the best one v one map, but this one is right up there.

Thanks! I'll add in another 1 v 1 distribution now that you mention it!

EDIT - played it again on the 1v1 setting. Much more enjoyable this time around. Had a 4-FFA previously.

Another solid map. I really enjoy your use of smallish superbonuses to add another element of depth to your maps. Also, the use primarily of very small bonuses (almost all 1s and 2s) requires a somewhat different strategy than maps that feature larger bonus areas and army rewards.

Still, I feel somehow - and I can't define what I mean really at all - that this map lacks the personality that I usually feel when I play on your other maps. Maybe it's the use of the random name generator again. I don't know. So while it's definitely a 5-star map, gameplay was just missing a certain something. Sorry for being so vague.

All right! :)
I'll be sure to step up my game for the next round. (I've got an idea already!)
Thanks!

Pretty fun for AI mode, however I wish you could play with more that 2 people since a 10 person death match like thing would be pretty awesome.

Review by Keith on 6/17/2021.
Always a great smaller map to play for a fast game.
Starting positions are pretty secure but you run into your neighbors quickly.
I played with 6 players and it was great; 4 might be better if you need more time to gain armies but 6 runs just right.
Love this map.
I always come back it.
A++++++
