Garden

Best played with no alliances and with Scavengers on. Turn bases off for a better challenge. Compete for the 8 oil in the center, and control the 2 oil in the peninsulas near your base.

The number of scavenger units can make it easy for your units to gain rank.

If retreating, I've found it to be best to navigate your units back into base manully. When ordering all units to the command center or repair station at the top of the ramp they tend to get stuck on or slowed by the edge of the entrance ramp.

i'm in love

This is the map i play when i want a short game, best for 4 players which are on the same experience level.

I play it normaly with these settings:
Scavs: On
Bases: Medium or High

Despite my personal dislike (-0.3) for non-natural maps this is a cool rush map. No bases and no scavs also work very fine. Again I like the idea of blocked oil derricks. You will have to fight asap - loosing the first battle can mean instant death.
