Risk-style strategy map.

Initially created by UED_Admiral sometime before 2009. Updated around that time by Mr.Brightside. This version is fully retriggered and updated with two new 300-cost bases for additional strategic options. A full change list is not available, but if you want one feel free to message the person who uploaded this map.

Thanks to Falkoner and Payne for their terrain compilations and brushes, which helped make the map a lot prettier. Thanks to various friends for extensive balance testing (ongoing).

The basics:

• All players start at the bottom-right corner of the map and must immediately move to secure a base of their choosing.
  
• Upgrade your base's spawn with supply depots.
  
• Get kills to increase your mineral income
  
• Keep your civ alive or you lose.
  
• You can buy as many bases as you want, once you have the money.

Bases tend to match up against each other along rock-paper-scissors lines. If you've never played before, don't worry too much about it, and try not to get salty if you lose.
