I think being a very artificial looking square ruins the immersion. (That's fault of the original map though, the improvements done in the remake are impeccable.)

Featured.

Make the shore a bit less square and remove the weird sea islands and it would look a lot less weird while barely affecting play. I'd extend the land into the sea in some places and round the corner hills slightly to achieve this.

Do we? What is unhealthy?

Siren is brutally countered by Lance if Lance is allowed to shoot at the Siren, straight from the shore.

However, on maps with sea directly bordered by sheer cliffs, and juicy rear eco right after those cliffs, tough luck. Nothing can shoot the impaler with leveler sidearm at all except Badgers, air, and things that can go down on that water.

I'm in favor of removing the sea here.

I noticed that the rocks, which total about 6.5k in metal reclaim, are crushable with light units such as glaives and daggers. It is theoretically possible to thus use them to deny the enemy a lot of reclaim by road-killing rocks in their territory.
