Map is better played in FFA and with 5000 money starts, map is balanced for 5000 so mini tanks are not that prevalent, it is advised to scout the map in detail before choosing either going War Factory first or Second Ore Refinery. Also players can choose to take the base in the Outer Ring, taking 2 ore trucks, an MCV and a soldier with a grenadier (to shoot the mineral) could allow you building 3 quick ore refineries and taking control of the biggest mineral reserve on the map.
The map also its balanced depending on your starting point, it is always considered better to build towards middle as you will get closer to new mineral patches, but also take in consideration that north, south, east and west (that is the plus start points) have better mineral options because of the fact they are opened to attacks from more points than corners. Game in FFA requieres crates on.
I know Remastered dosnt allow any of the thing i have mentioned above like 5000 money or crates, but i am preatty sure they are just keeping some features so they have something to "deliver" latter as humans always complain, so remember this map as released before all those feature are abvailable, enjoy.
