This is a Lush World map with four corners style play. The four corners are separated by a maze
of meandering rivers. The map has a dense cover of trees. There's a reasonable amount of metal.

The map gives pretty good gameplay and there doesn't seem to be any major mechanical flaws
(from my testing anyway).

Tips For Playing

1) The map is small with relatively low gravity. A long range artillery can hit almost anywhere 
on the map.

2) Because the map is small, the battling will start quickly. Get a hovercraft platform built as
soon as possible as hovercraft can be pumped out nice and quick to start defending/attacking.

3) Use air units and hovercraft. There are no shallow river crossings, so tanks and kbots cannot
cross them. Amphibious tanks and kbots can be used to great effect however.

4) The four corners of the map dont have much space for building a base so plan your building
carefully. The edges of the cliffs at the sides of bases make good spots for missile towers/
lasers

5) The map has dense tree cover in a lot of places, especially at the entrances to bases, and 
hovercraft may have trouble getting through. It provides a lot of reclaimable energy but if you
don't need the resources, blast your way through with cannons. Some other good ways to clear
trees are with crawling bombs, mines, and EMP's/nukes (though you wouldnt waste a nuke on
clearing trees). If you want a bit of fun, start some forest fires (a good way to damage units
hiding in the trees). Fun for arsonists in the safety of their own home!
If your playing the AI, it may have trouble getting through the trees.
