Like this:
the bases are 3 miles apart. just missing your water.
I think the bases close together is a good part. Idk, I think this map here is mostly concerned with tanks. Only 1 fighter base on each side. That map just doesn't have a flow to it. It doesn't appear to have an objective. It doesn't look exciting to play on. That is just my opinion.
The AvA seems to have tank night, which is cool and seems to get some players, but is here a fighter night too? I feel like if you can get 5-6 players for a fighter night, in the arena, maybe it would spark more players to hop in and try the arena. Maybe if there was a really cool terrain, it would also bring more players into it. Idk. Maybe nothing will work hahaha.
