This map is a Metal World map which is a four corners style map with a maze of walls separating the players. All of the wall passages lead into the open section in the middle of the map, giving kill in the middle style play.

While this map may not be visually that interesting, it has good gameplay that can keep you playing for hours. There doesn't seem to be any major mechanical flaws (from my testing anyway).

Tips For Playing

1)This map gets strong winds blowing through the wall passages. Build wind generators instead of solar collectors.

2) It is easy to porc on this map. Just line the top of walls with missile towers etc. Block off entrances to your base with dragons teeth.

3)Use air units. Tanks and kbots (not even the commander) cannot climb the walls so you will need air constructors to build on them. Fighters, gunships and bombers can fly over the walls to attack the enemy. Do speedy flyovers of the enemy base. But remember, this map encourages defensive play and it is easy to take out aircraft.

4)Use nukes, nukes, and more nukes. You can't win here without nukes. Build about 2 or 3 launchers and send happy packets of uranium to your enemy base. Build similar amounts of anti-nukes to defend your base. Don't target units directly behind walls as the nuke will probably hit the top of the wall in its decsent.

5)Even though you will need to build aircraft, you should also build tanks/kbots as they are stronger than aircraft and more likely to get into the enemy base. A good combination of heavy cannons, artillery and missile units (in very large numbers) should get you into the enemy base.

6)A long range artillery on the small hill in the middle of the map can hit almost anywhere on the map. However, this point is the most vulnerable point on the map and is difficult to defend.
Artillery can't hit buildings directly behind walls.
