Given the popularity of Coastal Forest as a TG map, I’d love to see others like it in the map pool at some point! Front Line comes to mind - SUCH a fun map to watch in the town center tango tourney.
Coastal Forest is super popular as a TG map. I think one big reason is player positions. I love that in a 4v4 one player is absolutely in the firing line while another might be completely untouched. So many strategies are possible.
Its also nice that positions and player colors are not linked, encouraging dynamic thinking and exploring the same civ in different ways. A civ needs to be played completely differently from different positions. E.g. malay should probably open infantry or archers from the front, fish boom from the back, or, my personal fav: FC eles from the middle which ruins feudal armies.
