People who hate Sweetie Plains probably can't find the reason why they always lose the games on that map. There is a witspace on this map that you think it's yours. But it's not! Seriously, SP is the only map that has a witspace on equal distance from your spawn and your opponent's spawn. Check all other 1v1 and 2v2 maps out! Furthermore, you have an obstacle on your way to that witspace, while your opponent has a wide straight way which makes it easier for him to attack than for you to defend.
All STs know about that feature resulting in boring stupid fights for that one witspace. I suggest to move this witspace one hex closer to the base and remove one obstacle. Additionaly, it could be useful to get rid of some obstacles in the center of the map to ginger up fighting in that area.

+1 +1 +1! That would make me actually want to play sweetie plains! It's a complete nightmare of a map with terrible FTA in terms of spawning units. Also there is no leeway for varied play at all. That sniper has to survive no matter what, it's the only thing giving you advantage and the sides are much more attractive to attack than through the middle.

Actually, I think Sweetie Plains is Second Turn advantage because they have an easier time using both of their spawns because of the extra wits. Send me a friendly and we can test it out.
