Why am I even getting matched on this map when both players have the maps patch?

 

Bottom has so much more money on his disposal to spend on apocs+desos, not to mention he can build down the cliff.

 

I played a lot better yet I stood absolutely no chance: http://xwis.net/ra2/games/13455/

 

Why doesn't everyone disable this map and enable the Fixed version? This is just sad.

 

 

You can't win on this map from top unless your name is Latof.

I dont have the idea the enable and disable options are working properly.

 

Ive matched many times on maps, both me and my enemy had disabled.

Rhino Tanks are half the price of apocs, bro. There was a point where I couldn't afford to make any more apocs, I had to sell battle lab.

 

I deso'd his whole rhino army and he had the money to repair them all.

i'd suggest selling warfs instead of tech and make a drone here : http://xwis.net/ra2/screenshots/8561254/

I personally don't like country swing from either side, but this maps unbalance defnitely isnt topic worthy imo.

What was coming out of my War Factory was probably a Drone. I did eat up all his Desos in the middle with a Drone once.

It's way more than 3000. I'd estimate at least 15000 - 20000.

I'm just going to quit the next time in QM when I'm top on Country Swing (non-fixed version) and everyone will be happy. Because it's a waste of time to even try to win a decent player from top.

It was something like 10k indeed. 

 

Also better position for small gem fields. In long games bottom miners will survive more easy.

 

Not to mention bottom plays better on almost any map/situation due to more map control / refeneries who can be placed better. 

( after i wrote this, what map actually prefers a top spot ? i cant think of any one ) 

 

If maps were remade they should give top spots the slight edge moneywise.

I agree brother. The exception to the rule is Lake Blitzen TR.
 
Other than that being top is a disadvantage on any map with refineries facing the wrong way and paradrop/nuke coming in faster.    MayDay and LBL having huge advantages for bottom.

3k. I know, I fixed the map

 

*3.4k

 

Original update topic, first post

 

Country Swing stock version ore patches

[Sustanon]

Rumblesom, how did you "precisely" measure it?

Do you want me to measure it, disprove you and post proof with which you can accurately measure it yourself?

[rumblesom]

i recorded the total amount of money, then deleted entirely 1 ore patch and measured the difference. Then i reloaded the map and did this for each ore patch.

Bottom's advantage isn't just slightly more ore, but the fact they are mined more efficiently and there is significantly easier access to both gems + easier fortification.

[rumblesom]

Those problems are outside the scope of a classic (grandfathered) map repair.

With additional gold added to T (fixed version) I think the map is within the 'classic' parameters for acceptable balance.

Refineries facing backward to the ore is a fairly common problem (many situations, maps) depending how you build you should have no reason to have your second refinery entrance any worse than beside it's gold

I agree, but I also am not sure I believe the difference in gold is only 3k.

Did you read how I calculated it? If you believe that method is valid, I invite you to verify my calculations. Of course it is possible I made a mistake, however I believe I was sufficiently diligent in being accurate, I was surprised too.

Yes.
