Frontier 
Creator:Chris Brethen 
Date reviewed: 10/14/99 

When i first got this map, i though "Oh, another crappy one one one by Brethen." Well, this is a one 
on one, but it isn't crappy. In fact it is well worth a download. 

The layout for Frontier is very good. Each player starts in a fair positions, and it stays that way. 
The Frontier is the best part of the map. A large wall of resources, this wall is guarded by Auto 
Turrets. As your starting resources are very low, you have to spend wisely to be able to destroy 
these turrets. Fighters and Corvettes get torn up. I figured that i would just build a Assault Frigate 
and that would be that. Not so. The turrets nearly killed my Assault Frigate, and i only got two 
of the turrets. This Frontier makes this map a dream for players that like long, deeply strategic 
one on one games. The Frontier area must be token out, and how you do this effects how well you 
will do in the rest of the game. The Frontier is also a excellent trap area. Nothing better then having 
20 scouts right behind your defeated fighters, only to laff as the enemy gets ripped to shreds. 

The Background of the map could us a little work. It uses a standard blue nebula background, one 
that i really think is way overused, or at least it seems i see it to much. 

Players who like to use a lighting war will also dislike this map. It has very little in beginning resources 
and it is very hard attack the enemy without having your fighters killed. 

Overall, this map is good, although it could be better. 

Layout - 85 
Fun Factor - 70 
Background - 65 
Originality - 80 
Overall - 65 

Uses 3D? - Some 
Has unbuildable units? - No 
Game pace - Slow 
Amount of resources - Low at first, then starting to increase once you start harvesting the frontier.
