Can anyone offer up any map recommendations for maps that play well
and balanced for 5 players? It seems to be the one number of players
that is fairly hard to design a balanced map for - at least for me.

I'll take any suggestions as even if it turns out to be something
that doesn't jazz me maybe it'll rattle something loose in my head
and give me a good idea for a design.

Jeye has many versions of the Open Diamond that is being designed for 5 player.

I just made a new 5 player map for you. You can playtest and recommend changes or upgrades. The terrain is 2 flavored at the moment. http://battleground1.weewar.com/map/24980

24980 also has immobile defense platforms

Here is another new 5 player map. 0 starting credits and 40 per base, so players will have to choose wisely in how the divvy out starting resources.

Thanks, I will have to get those into the rotation and see how they play.
