Hey,
this is a thread to post my own playtest maps and try out simple rules ideas and discuss them.

"I'll allow it"(IAI) ruleset:
Maximizes early game build orders.
* Construction Yard provides 30 power.
* No prerequisites: Barracks, Power, Refinery
* Techpath: Power -> Radar Dome (/Kennel)
* Production: Barracks -> Warfactory/Shipyard
* Building cameos switched for nicer progression.

Gave it a quick shot on Skirmish, definitely interesting !
There are more openings, especially for a Soviet player, who can really get a fast gren rush (barracks, then ref and selling barracks) (gren rushes are made easier in the new release btw !), as well as other options :
- greedy (no PP, double ref, selling 1st one)
- normal secure build (PP, rax, defence, ref)
- etc ...
A few suggestions :
- Why isn't the kennel available without PP ? Feels weird to be able to build barracks but no kennel
- How about reducing drastically Radar build time ? (i.e. 29s like SD), in order to allow a faster "air rush" build. (I've tried it, alongside a gren rush, but it still feels slow)

"Air Viablity Increased" (AVI) ruleset --- version 004
Experiments with extended roles for aircraft and aircraft defenses.
* AA-Gun Damage reduced by 25%, but +1 vision.
* Adds experimental camo SAM site to soviet.
* Gives Mig and Longbow stealth and submarine detection.
* Gives Mig and Longbow anti-sub depth charges.
* Yak turn cicle reduced. Speed reduced. Flight altitude reduced. Cost reduced.
* Transport Helicopters can transport most vehicles. (most vehicles occupy 5 slots)
* Fixed sea transport to 16 capacity because of above changes.
* New soviet "Cossack" transport plane. Parachute-drops loaded vehicles/infantry.

https://resource.openra.net/maps/23596/ (sidestep)
Comment on v002:
This is the "AA-Gun nerf test map". Also added some interesting features to the never-to-be-seen chinook air transport. Camo SAM and Mig/Longbow interaction is just an experiment. It aims to make SAM and AA gun more distinct units. The slower YAK allows for more micro and reacion time.
Should give players enough reason to cause them to try air play :D

@Frenzy, Thanks :)
yea had the same feeling with radar dome... will keep this in mind for IAI v002.
Dogs, yes thought I keep them as kind of high tech units! Also Zerg..., ummm, Dog rushes seem funy ;) Will change as well in v002 to no tech.

The next revision of the AVI map is out, I took your feedback and turned it into something..
*I changed vehicle transport size to uniform 5. (except ranger=4, supply truck=2, mammoth&MAD-tank=8)
*Also corrected my math error with the AA-Gun nerf. :) Reducing damage by 60% was way too much since it increased the 'alive-under-fire-time' of planes by +200% (or three times as long) . Now its damage is reduced by only 25% which translates to +33% increased 'alive-under-fire-time'.
* other yak changes are experimental (but very justified if compared to the hind)

These are the changes:
- Sub Pent and Naval Yard detection range against Water added and set to 8c0
- Sub Pent from 800$ to 1000$
- added Sea Scorpion to Soviets:
#has the modell of the Gun Boat from Allies
#uses the same weapons as the Mobile Flak but damage against light from 60 to 10 against ground units
#cost to 700$
- Missilbe Sub:
#spread from 2c938 to 0c512
#AA weapon has been removed
- Cruiser:
#attackrange from 16c0 to 22c0
#spread from 2c938 to 2c0
- Sea Transport:
#from 700$ to 1000$
#transport cap from 5 to 10
- added Soviet Chinook to Soviets
An attempt to finally fix the Naval issues. It is actually super easy to fix all problems. Worked that out with SoScared.

Thx marterianer. I got rid of the attack-move bug, false naming and tanya shooting ships.
Here are some nice maps for this playtest:
MIXv004 maps:
(changes compared to v003: gun boat armor back to heavy, but less hp so one-shottable by yak/hind. light armor gunboats like in 003 were killed by rifle infantry hilariously fast.)
1v1
https://resource.openra.net/maps/23600/ (hardship) <<-- true naval 1v1
https://resource.openra.net/maps/23601/ (dual cold front)
https://resource.openra.net/maps/23602/ (winter storm)
https://resource.openra.net/maps/23603/ (aquarius)
?v?
https://resource.openra.net/maps/23604/ (doubles islands) <<-- very much fun
https://resource.openra.net/maps/23599/ (isle of man)
https://resource.openra.net/maps/23538/ (bombardment landing) <<-- bombardment islands edit for MIX

MIXv003 is out. It fixes the attack move bug with the attack sub (which will be fixed in the next official release), reverts all subs back to light armor (heavy felt too strong vs Hinds combined with the Flak Trap) and makes torpedos not jammable. Also Flak Trap is now radar tech and missile sub back to tech center tech like it should be.
