Yes, those are the errors in the map that need to be fixed.
Thanks for pointing them out Berg.

Re: 4c-Garond Valley
HUGE Update!
Reviewed the whole map not only fixing object overlap errors but also balancing as a whole.
Balance changes:
I'm also considering on removing the internal cliffs of the oil nodes and reduce the height of them as to allow players to build defensive towers in its corners.
I hope you can enjoy it even more now
Best regards,

Reviewed the whole map not only fixing object overlap errors but also balancing as a whole.
Balance changes:
- Reviewed relations between bases 1 and 3:
- Player 3 was too vulnerable in relation to others due to the previous northeastern entrance. It was closed to better protect it from player 1. To maintain access to the easternmost oil node, the ramp giving access to the elevated passage was extended to the eastern fields; this funnels attackers into the expected smaller entrance (the other bases also have one).
- There were 5 Oil nodes readily accessible for players 1 and 3 even if they couldn't defeat the scavengers blocking the bridges. Player 1 had especially easy access to resources, so the easternmost Oil node was pushed south. Apart from that, both Oil nodes situated in the peninsulas where transformed into VTOL-access nodes (require VTOL transports to take trucks or engineers), so that both sides of the river have 3 Oil nodes (with 2 oil each).
- The river was fully surrounded by cliffs before. Now there are ramps allowing passage of hovers, so that even if the scavengers weren't defeated or a player has seized and fortified a bridge, other players can opt to cross the river with hover units and build forward bases in the other side. Previously there wasn't a good reason to use hovers other than flat terrain speed for trucks.
- There was a small difference between the base entrances (and some back entrances were prejudiced by scrolling limits), now every base has a 8 width entrance and a smaller side entrance. Base 3 has a bit larger side entrance since the player can use defensive structures to cover both entrances partially at the same time.
- Added actual advanced bases, with main gates guarded by pairs of Heavy Cannon, Lancer and Heavy MG hardpoints, apart from Lancer, MG and Flamer bunkers. There's also an equal amount of Medium Cannon hardpoints scattered through the walls to promote protection to the perimeter. There are 4 mortar pits located near the entrance to soften the targets, and for AA purposes there are 4 Sunburst emplacements positioned near the walls.
Apart from that there are two medium factories, a cyborg factory, two upgraded research facilities, two upgraded power generators, and a repair facility. That's certain to boost any game's start accordingly to the specified base level.
I'm also considering on removing the internal cliffs of the oil nodes and reduce the height of them as to allow players to build defensive towers in its corners.
I hope you can enjoy it even more now
