Description
Overview
The map is designed to force players into tank-to-tank battles or die. Base sizes are constrained to facilitate quick matches. It is difficult (but not impossible) to shoot at the incoming tanks from your main fort. There isn't a lot of room to build many down-firing weapons. This requires players to build a tank and defend their bases in tank-to-tank battles (mostly). The main bridge is partly destructible, but the mechanics of the bridge supporting your tank is permanent. Your tank-forts drive on top of an invisible block.

Possible Strategies
You can fire weapons over the dragon's head to harass the enemy's economy (typically T3 or T4 style weapons). You can drive a tank-fort across the dragons nose to harass the enemy's economy. You can drive tank-forts across the lower portion of the map. The core can only be destroyed from the bottom, so most players will start at the bottom, but running harassment warfare across the top will keep your enemies multitasking, perhaps to their doom. Once a player dies enemies can seize that now neutral base and begin close-up neighbor to neighbor warfare.

Miscellaneous
Why 50% gravity? LandCruisers maps are huge. Slightly reduced gravity allows projectiles to fly farther facilitating long distance tank battles. Additionally, tanks are less prone to bottoming out, and vehicle mechanics feels more natural.

Acknowledgements
Special thanks to SamsterBirdies for making the awesome Cave Environment.

Your Voice
If you like the map, give it a thumbs up. This will help others in the Forts community find maps that you think are worth a play. If you think this map could be improved or you have a map idea you want me to build, leave a comment. I would love to hear from you.

@Jebbsredemption - Aaaah, that makes sense.

Luke I know what he's talking about. What he's experiencing is a Landcruisers issue. He doesn't have High Seas and a core part of the mod's physics simulation requires variables exclusive to the High Seas dlc. Without it, wheels are unable to apply any force.

@LordGooch: have you tried this map? No issues with anyone I play it with.

A while back, there was an update to the LandCruisers mod that broke a lot of older maps causing tanks to fall into the ground instantly. Has to do with the ground attributes. Try some of the newer LandCruisers maps out there.

I am having trouble getting any landcruisers map to work - any vehicle I build collapses - it's like the springs are too weak and the structure sinks and hits the ground...
