Despite literally nobody on the forums talking about sedona ffa, I literally see this map in half the games on cncnet. Though I rarely play this partially because I hate ffa in general, I must ask why is it so popular.
I mean I don't get how it is fun. Last time i played this, it went like this: I was soviet, and everyone else was Allies, because of random. Already I was at a disadvantage because soviets suck in long games without superweapons. So I scout and see that literally the 3 closest players built literally no tanks and only a few rocketeers (probably either they are newbs or are anticipating a long games). I seriously could not resist but utterly destroy these 3 players closest to me, with only a couple of losses. Now I get their ore and achieve map dominance over the entire right side of the map, and while doing so and collecting crates, i get an Allied mcv and started building rocketeers and mirages and gaps, while the remaining lucky two who were not within my rushing range have successfully teched up and actually started building units. However, that was about when all notable events in the game ceased to exist.
Literally, all that happened is that the remaining two just sat in their bases camping under gaps while only thing they did outside their base was collecting crates for money with chrono legionaires. Even when I collected all the ore on my side of the map dry and amassed a huge army, there was no way i could head on, directly attack them because they have the advantage of defense (both actually moved their mcv up the cliff at the beginning and built towers). After about 1 hour, I actually have real life stuff to attend to, so I had to go, but before that I attacked one of the two players with my entire army and lost because i attacked the player in his base where he had all the advantage (defenses, mirages are stationary so units won't auto attack them, gaps, cliff advantage, choke point advantage) and I left.
Reflecting back to this game, I probably could have not rushed the 3 players nearby and camped, and still get the same, big army. Why? Because all I needed to do is to collect crates and get money, thus no need expand and get ore outside ur base.
What is up with this sedona map? Is there like some sort of cult behind this map, because I sure don't see anyone talking about this map on the forums. How do people have fun on this map even, because the best strategy is the camp, as base expansion is useless when you can just collect crates. If there is nothing to talk about, how about sharing your experiences on this map?
