In my opinion, each player should start with 10 or 9 regions in 1vs1 games. The current 12 is the worst option possible.
As for the decaying regions, I do like that it is unpredictable how many of your regions will be there. There can be very uneven drops, though, which is another reason why this map is unbalanced now. I think that the solution would be to keep it random how many starting regions are in the decaying area, but it should be an even number, and both players should start with the same number of decaying regions. Would it be possible to code this with the current XML?
+42 167 from 288(58%)
that's 4% better of your avg win rate
Chap at this point this looks like your personal crusade,
maybe put it to vote so we see where we stand?
And one thing too add, haven't played much 1v1s lately (referring to all maps),
but from I have seen, there has been increase in number of neutrals
to make things fair, but 1v1 will never be fair,
now I struggle to fight neutrals to brake other guys bonus from unfair drop.
In 1v1 games will never be fair, you work with what you got.
