Coral Lagoon (2) [Huge]

EVA-251

Coral Lagoon is a classic map from the Advance Wars series. I recreated it on an 8x scale (16x15 to 128x128). It's probably a bit large for a 1v1 map, but the shape of the map complicates making it 2v2 unless it's shared spawns.

Eh, why're there no shores where to land with naval transports?

Because AdvanceWars doesn't deal in beaches?

Advance Wars has shores.

This particular map doesn't. It doesn't even have ports, for that matter, but I'm not about to disable navy yards/sub pens.

I may add some stretches of shore, just there are more ways to attack with land vehicles

Seems like lower right corner player starting have more advantages due to wider area and more access to resource fields whereas the opposite side have one way and not very many access to resource field.

The map isn't supposed to be symmetrical, and it did slightly favor the Blue team in AW. As for your concerns, I addressed most of them in a recent edit of the map.

-Left spawn was moved up and to the right; right spawn was moved down and to the right...
-The second closest gem field to the left spawn has been made much larger...
-Right spawn's forest facing the lagoon stretches toward the road now (less of a straight path to the middle of the map) and one opposite it has a path running along the cliff-side
