Probably more analogous to Frost than Shakuras, and for the better. This reflectional approach to a 4p map is superior in every way to using rotational symmetry, methinks. The two highgrounds that hold the watchtowers bother me a little as they're perhaps too good a platform to parade push those next-to-the-main thirds (shouldn't the towers be on the low ground?) and my gut tells me that if there aren't better ways to resolve the middle there might at least be more interesting ways. But that's all I can really level at this crit-wise and this being v0.1 I hope you'll polish it up like you did Terraform (which, btw, is fucking outstanding). Love your stuff man.

The name referent matches the macro games buildup this will produce ^^

A good alternative to Metropolis, but maybe a little too strong for mech (2 pathways for 5 bases). But I like the clean straightforward interactions along routes / through and around the middle.
