- Can be assaulted by HOME and bombarded by red spaces that contain the number 2 in their name (i.e. W2).
- White Spaces
- +3 for holding at least one white space.
- +1 per white space in a different letter group (i.e. holding G2, C4, and F3 would yield a +2 bonus).
- +1 per 2 white spaces in the same letter group (i.e. holding A1, A2, A3, and A5 would yield a +2 bonus).
- Can assault any adjacent space.
- Safe Zones
- +1 per 2 Safe Zones.
- All Safe Zones can assault each other and adjacent white or red spaces.

- Red spaces containing the number 1 in their name are killer neutral 5.
- Red spaces containing the number 2 in their name can bombard Nests and have an auto-decay of 2.

- HOME
- Hold for one round to win.
- Can assault any Nest or red space containing the number 3 in their name.

What do you think about the overall look of the map? I feel like things might be a bit too confusing for other people. I mean, I obviously understand it, but I'm not sure whether other people do.
