Any feedback about it is appreciated.
=D13=
p.s. I have not used it nor have I been in a game where it was used.
Not sure that I consider this a problem, but I did discover one permutation of game settings that makes for a potentially unbalanced advantage; I recently finished a Nuclear Assassin game, and the Final Lap location was opened up not by an attack, but by a nuke, which of course allowed the person holding that spoil to time using it for a significant advantage. The same held true later in the game for both Pit Row and Winner's Circle, but the player who nuked the Winner's Circle couldn't finish the job, giving me a slightly easier victory. (Although it was a Fog game, it looked to me like I was going to win anyway.)
I wonder if a series of 2 steps for each of these locations, with half the number of troops (so the nuker still has to conquer half the troops) might be a possibility to explore. I'm fine with it as is, but thought I'd point this out in case others are of the opinion that it adversely affects game play.
The two territ solution is an interesting way of keeping nukes from doing what you described, but I always thought that that was part of the game with nukes and several maps that are like this. You're really playing to try to get that right nuke card. Similar things happened recently to a teammate of mine in a Baseball game. He was playing one strategy, and his opponent was playing for the cards. Opponent got a couple of lucky nukes and won the game. Without the nukes, the game would've gone to my buddy.
This isn't necessarily "imbalanced." It's just playing the settings to your advantage and getting lucky. But, again, the two-stage "solution" is an interesting idea that could be incorporated if the mapmaker likes.
i like that All pit equipment can assault the pit but im not sure if i care to much for some one catching up by the Pit stop Bonus +5 for holding your entire car, pit crew, and 1 of each pit equipment. it will allow someone who gets control over the pits to get back into the race faster
I love this map! It's the perfect combination. It's like Das Schloss and Treasures of Galapagos mixed! I just wish there was another way to get back on the track after you've been fully taken out of it. Lol.

Pit row?
Well by that time toe opponent gets 40 troops then you're screwed.

you guys are just trolling.
i liked this map because of the uniques and its like maximus but with bonuses and more fun!!
and i dislike when the opponent goes to throw me of the track early xD
I disliked trying to figure out how the territories were linked together. How do you get 'into' another car?
Can only get into your own car from your pit crew... once you lose the crew you cant get attack any car ... the pit equipment is one way to bombard other cars.

Congratulations dolomite13, your shiny new medal is well-earned
Although very unlikely, I found out that there is a way to have a stalemate on this map if there is no round limit in a game.
Player x capture a pit stop item, player y capture a different pit stop item. Player x bombard player y's crew, then player y bombard player x's crew. The pit stop items can no longer be reached by any mean and so they cannot be eliminated from the game.
The map needs an objective to prevent this from happening. I suggest controlling the entire road, every positions on every segments.
There are no stupid questions, only stupid people.
