I may have been treating the adorable maps the wrong way round

Is peekaboo the map with 1 spawn?
Is sweetie plains the map with 2 spawns?

I've just realized that I've been calling them these, but now I think about it it is probably the other way round! Can you guys tell me if I have a visual glitch?

Here's an example peekaboo game with what it looks like in my game screen:

It is exactly as you wrote it. Peekaboo is the one with one spawn field, sweetie plains has two.

Ah, I've always assumed that sweetie plains is the open one, my bad

No you were right! Sweetie plains is the big open one with two spawns, peekaboo is the one with a single spawn.

Peekaboo is the turtle-style one

Ah I understand now! I've just seen sweetie plains as a more duck in and out map with its wall-clinging or through the middle style of play maybe I'm doing it wrong as its my worst map

Even though going through the center might work when your opponent's units are too much on the sides, i wouldn't recommend it. It just happens way too often that my opponent attacks early through the center, only resulting in me countering succesfully. SP feels kinda weird, because although taking on an offensive pose pays off, attacking early actually does not.

I attack fairly early each time, using minimum turn setup and enough scouting to judge where I can attack, guess I should be more careful on SP

I am probably the world's best Sweetie Plains player, it is my specialty. I win more than half my maps even as P2 on it.

Sooo... any tips? Do you have more success attacking the corner wit space or straight at the base?

Sweetie Plains is probably my weakest board. I constantly feel like I am a step behind.
