Review by Huruey • apex on 4/6/2012.
This is an interesting map which can make for an interesting and - be warned - LONG game. Some bonuses seemed unbalanced at first, but potentially the larger bonuses balance them out. It's very hard to tell as there are simply so many.

It seems best suited for an FFA of 6 or more players, ideally with many airlifts and some blockade or abandon cards. Small teams could work well, though large teams would likely result in too many clashes and prevent teammates from completing the big bonuses. I recommend a boot time of 10 minutes to allow for all the moves required. Due to the size, the advantage gained by being on your own at the starts seems to be very high. There is an increased risk of losing very early by contesting starting bonuses. This may be helped by adding some more distribution modes.

The map looks pretty nice, if a little hard to navigate. Features like the walls, gates and pathways can provide short term objectives in long games.

In all, a very nice map and worth a play if you have 4 hours.
Response by map creator Muppet on 4/6/2012
If you have a few minutes, could you send via feedback your thoughts on the bonuses? Currently they are balanced in the sense that they use the same formula, but I'm not sure it's the best formula.

I am working on distribution modes, so hopefully that problem can be alleviated in the future.

I appreciate your comments and would like to add that this map was, in fact, intended for many players. It's a bit disheartening to receive complaints from others who played the game with 4 or less players, or with 2 minute boots. (Yes, I saw RT games set like this.)

Thank you for taking the time to give your thoughts!

Review by [REGL] Pooh on 4/5/2012.
Nice Large Map.
For Bonuses, I noticed you have a North Gates in the North East, but no other gate bonuses.
One thing that might help in team play is to put street names down, to help in coordination.
Thanks for the awesome new map!
Response by map creator Muppet on 4/5/2012
Thanks John. The North Gates bonus includes all 6 territories at the gates, I imagine it's difficult to see with the size of the map. I left the few in the south and west bonusless because they're really far apart.

I'm not sure how I could incorporate street names, as you'd have to zoom in to read them anyway. Let me know if you have any ideas.

Very big!

Graphically it´s great! Very different from other maps. It seems pretty balanced and it´s fun to play on.

One of the best maps I have ever played on. I suggest a 5v5 with surveillance, gift, and airlift cards. Although you can't use the big bonuses very often, it still works out great for a balanced game. It's good for the kind of game where you don't want to spawn directly next to an enemy.

This map is rather large, but I enjoyed the absurd number of troops this allows you to place each turn.

Review by Andalorium on 4/5/2012.
Awesome map but thought you might want to know in bonus slum nine Polly and Debora are not connected were there is a line showing they should be, tip this map you will need airlift and a blocking card is helpful like abandon or blockade.

I enjoy this map very much. It makes for a long game, and the going is a bit slow at first, but the choke points make it quite interesting.

I like it how all the territories are named, it would be really wonderful to play this map with 6 or more players just for sheer fun

Review by jake on 12/11/2012.
While this map was a lot of fun, I believe it takes too long and contains too much bonus at the end, I was recieving over 1200 armies per turn, which seems a bit ridiculous.

It was fun at first but when you start getting ahead it starts getting extremely boring...just grinding and grinding away at the last bits of resistance across the map.

Very nice but too big
Un reduced map with less house, less quarters could be a very very nice game.
