To me, the interesting part of this discussion is the concern of a few vocal individuals with the shape and perhaps the colors used (in hindsight, it does resemble a pizza.) The resemblance to a peace sign or pizza came as a real surprise to us. We wanted: Equal number of fronts for all countries and the other issues I've mentioned in this thread.
Perhaps even more interesting is the group of folks who are upset with HTC about making this map a MA map. They're using this thread as a forum to air their unhappiness with HTC and perhaps take a whack at us (AKs) on the side. That's cool. Whack away.
Nothing, absolutely nothing, happens in the MA of AH without HTC scrutinizing the
proposal and evaluating the effects. Can you blame them? It's their livelihood.
Guys, the map is nothing. It will work (affect gameplay in a positive way) or it
won't work (adversely affect gameplay.) If it works, perhaps we will see others that address balance in the same way; perhaps we won't. I dunno. If the map doesn't work, it will be gone faster than yesterdays fish.
For the really disgruntled, I recommend a) Kaopectate or b) come to the CON and
buy wab/iron/nim/me beer.
