Everytime I played and went first, I won, regardless of the rank of my opponent. So this map is one to be avoided if you enjoy strategy and one to love if your a cook (because you'll soon get 50% wins). Feel free to try it out with me.
9 out of 10 maps that you play 1 v 1 with unlimited forts will go to whoever has first turn due to the first player to reinforce multiple territories allowing them to get a good foothold in certain positions that will be key to the game.
1 v 1 is the hardest game to have a balanced type of play in.
1st turn always has advantage in 1 v 1.
(especially on maps where you start with 12/15/18 territories where you can easily reduce your opponents territory count by 1 with 1 winning attack. or on very large maps where it is easy to gain a stronghold in a key area of the map and drop your opponents deploy)
