Hello. The game seems fantastic, however i don’t get the motivation for the last stage of the game, with a randomization that cut the size of up to half. (down to 16…32 right from 32x32 from the previous phase). Only the first phase and the last phase really have bots, so the 32x32 stage is just teased briefly before vanishing. But for me that’s the most interesting one. Stage 4 should be bigger, not smaller. There is already randomization of the targets, so the size modification don’t bring much on the strategic side, and even kinda butcher it i believe. I would argue that stage 3 should be the last one, and please get rid of stage 4.

You’re right. It seems suboptimal to shrink the game for the last league.

In some (relatively rare) games the rewards are too close to the players, with none in the contested central area, like this one :
