New micro maps proposal
=======================
Main goals
----------
- Be purely about unit micro (No mind games)
- Easy for new authors
- Have enough depth to be easy to jump in but hard to master
- Reasonably balanced matchups
- Bot with better micro wins
Multiple maps
-------------
- Early game skirmishes: From 5 supply up to 20 supply, extracted from one base all ins
- Mid tech skirmishes: Up to 40 supply armies
- Late tech skirmishes: Up to 60 units armies
- Big armies: Up to 60 supply
- Huge armies: 80+ supply
Map concept
-----------
- No fog of war
- Map ends after 10 rounds
- On a round one bot play as attacker and the other as defender
- On each round a new matchup is picked
- They play the same amount of times as attacker and defender
- A point is given to the side killing all enemy units before timer ends
- A point is given to the defender side if they have at least one unit alive when the timer ends
- Winner is the player with most points after 10 pairings (a tie if both players have the same amount of points)
Balance challenges
------------------
- Fight area is a small enough playable area that defender can't just run to survive
- Fight area is a large enough playable area that attacker can kite when needed
- Attacker always win with perfect/equally good micro, defender wins with better micro
