One island maps for Beyond All Reason

One big island in the sea. Everybody spawns on land; the sea is the flank nobody watches.

One Island is a land map with an ocean around it. The spawns and almost all the metal are on the island, so you can play it as a land map — until somebody builds a shipyard and starts shelling the coast.

It is a good first naval map: the sea matters, but it is not the whole game.

Made for: 12×12 to 32×32, up to 16 players. Every map is mirrored, so both sides get the same ground and the same metal.

How it plays

What to build on a one island map

Ground

A land map in the middle, with a shoreline to defend on all sides.

Air and sea

Ships bombard the shore; hovers land where the beach is flat. Air crosses the water fastest.

Economy

Island metal is the base; the sea offers reclaim and, on bigger sizes, a few wet spots.

Generate one

A new one island map in about seven seconds

Offline, against the AI

Open Eclipse, press Create, choose Against AI, offline, pick ONE_ISLAND as the style and a size. Eclipse generates the map and starts Beyond All Reason on it.

In a room

Type !genmap 4v4 ONE_ISLAND (or 1v1, 2v2, 3v3) in the room chat. Everyone in the room gets the same map by name, nobody sends a file.
