Lucid: This map was the map used in my on-going series.
The map is made for 12 players and it is designed in a way where first wars are likely to be 1v1s (with two choices for your first war) or 2v2s or 1v2s (though often only 1v2 for a short while).
Once first wars are over its possible to continue fighting in your 'column' or to venture between columns to coalition someone running away with the game.
Its possible I make a completely new version of the map after the series is complete and I've thought through all the feedback.

Should be good to play single player since you can deal with the AI via the many chokepoints on the map.

No underwater starts allowed. There is a position for omniscience (a mod nation for spectating games) in the map.
