Looks damn good now.

My only other suggestion would be to place a red country airfield on the north side of the island in 12,10. The red/blue front is the only one lacking air bases for both countries at their closest point in the first ring of islands.

Good work, Jimmy - I've got a comment but I need to diagram it so it makes more sense, and I need to check on some notes I made from people's comments about strats - I'll update this message with my comment, soon as I can.

EDIT:
Click map for full-size image


I prefer maps like this, with spread out strats and not stuck way back in the rear areas, but something seems unbalanced to me regarding the flight distances to the strats.  I just noticed this as I spent some time studying the map; I hope this diagram helps explain what I'm seeing. 

- Blue can attack both Green's and Red's radar from multiple bases with fairly short flight times, while Green can hit back at Blue from only two bases, and Red really doesn't have a nearby Blue strat to attack (flight distances or more medium, and Red myust overfly some Blue bases on the way to a target)... so maybe a strat could be moved from Blue's home island to the island with A52 and A53, or to nthe medium-size empty island at 14,13 (I would include an airfield on the island also for defence if you choose this option).

- Green can hit a couple of Red strats in the South, but Red really only has Grren Fuel strat as a nearby target.  Maybe take one of Green's strat from it's big home island (F87 troops?) and move it closer (the island with P42 and A39 looks good).  you might need to move around the remaining strats on Green's home island to get a more even distribution if you move F87 to a different island.

Hope I am making sense!  There are so many things to try balance in a terrain...

Loving it so far! Better proportionality down south. Excited to see it in action.

Maybe one last tweak… can we give the middle island a refresher? Doesn’t matter to me but something. Maybe dump the frame rate demons that are huge bases, add a few towns, fiddle with the terrain, re-situate the bases, etc. Roll the dice Jimmy and see what comes up lol.

Take a close look at the spawn points between the Large bases and the small central bases. I have tried to duplicate setup of the spawns at A6 on the Montis map. The spawns from A8 and A37 into A6, overlap each other, creating some awesome GV battles, as well as some great jabo action. I also replaced the Super bases with standard Large bases. This should help the frame rate issue.

I have a few more checks to make to insure there are no blatant errors, then I will upload  it for everyone to review.

Nice but can we reduce the grids by half?

Looks like 11x11 now

With today's numbers 7x7 or 6x6 would provide more action imo

Keep the same size. Don’t let the mini map furballers distract you lol.

Maybe a few more bases even and closer to major cities.

Either way I think it’s way cool!! :banana:
