Description

Fourth map in the Battle Islands series!

A big map, good for large FFA's and Team games.
There are many good small bonuses to start from. Control the choke points and try to complete the big Territory bonuses for extra income.

Play the different distribution modes such as:
Zongo-Yuanqi Alliance vs Xiho-Keplar Alliance
The Northern Territories vs the Southern Territories
and more

"Warzones" is set as the default distribution, where you can start from some of the best bonuses available. Works also well with random distrubution.

total bonus value: 226

v1.1: updated bonus values, improved graphics, added new territories for better balance.

Good Luck and Have Fun

From my experience it makes for a great team map, most particularly 3v3, although I imagine 4v4 would work as well. I'm pretty picky about my maps, not being a fan of oversized ones (USA big being the first one that comes to mind) so when it comes to looking for a good 3v3 map this would have to be one of the best I've run into so far (other than Europe which is overused). I believe the distributions work well and that there are plenty of starting places for teammates, despite some critics having said otherwise and see it overall as well balanced. Like most large maps the games can go back and forth for several turns before it is clear who the winner(s) will be so it makes for a decent medium length game for those who like their matches to develop.

I like it but I would like to see bonuses for the major multi-bonus sections. Small, but present.

interesting map with lots of connections but choke points to faciliate intelligent defense and provide a map where weaker (army-wise) players have a chance to survive for a time and perhaps rally.

Review by {rp} Clavicus Vile on 5/11/2012.
Because the starting distributions are uneven, territory-wise it makes it difficult to give everyone what they're supposed to have in team games. The only way, I assume, would be via a custom scenario. I'd like it if each of the starting areas had the same territory amount so that the game could be made quicker and easier.

I'm going to hold off on rating untill i've had a proper game on it however.

this map is terrible for 1v1 - too long - but great for 2v2 - perfect size -

Review by O Bloody Hell on 5/19/2012.
Awfully sensitive to initial conditions. Some locations provide substantial advantage to players positioned in them... the three territory, two point locations can provide a quick early boost to anyone who happens to start in/next to one.

This is an exceptional map. It's not only a great map to play but it's also beautiful the naming scheme makes the player think of backstories as they play

A well done, very competitive map. Not easy to win, but not impossible either.

A good strat map, with some linear paths it's easy to get in an isolated part of the map and to create bottlenecks or use effective blockade cards aswell.

Response by map creator Chaos on 5/31/2012
explain? Both random warlords and warzones are well-balanced from our experience.
