It is very hard to defend in Reaper and SFI, the lone spawn spaces being far from their respective back doors; they tend to have quicker games on them compared to the other maps. I feel there is still significant FTA on Foundry, albeit reduced with the p2 initial wit adjustment. There is something peculiar about Glitch that I found it as the only map that heavily favors the Feedback.

Maybe I need more sleep but I can't seem to decipher your acronyms. Can you help me out?

SvS is Scallywags versus Scallywags, BS is Bombshell, SFI is Sharkfood Island, FTA is first turn advantage, p1 and p2 are player 1 and 2.

Skallywags are favored as canon is impossible to defend against if used correctly. So it penalizes the people who have paid for your game. The only way to play this map and have any chance of winning is to build up for the first 8 turns and hope the other guy makes a mistake...boring gameplay. All the other maps are good and fun still...SFI just needs a makeover.

I find it interesting that you think whoever attacks first loses. Almost all of my SFI games start with me attacking first and end with me winning.
