Hello, map maker here. Great match and commentary, it was really interesting to see how both of you played on this map. I’m glad to hear you enjoyed the game. Rachel truly seems really strong here. I can explain the weird damage values when you attacked from the silo. That tile actually used to be a road, I changed it after the game was over since I wanted to make it easier to attack the city near the tower. I also made some edits to the two-base area as well, you can actually see some penguins walking over water (those tiles used to be shoals and mountains). Overall the map is still the same, though, so the video and commentary still hold up. I added the second tower to help with wall breaking and to give players more incentive to attack corners. As you said, the map can get pretty stally, and before adding the second tower it was even more problematic. The black boats are there to limit copter movement and make capturing the corner tower easier, while still allowing airport locks (they used to be pipe seams). I felt the labs were too safe if tanks could hit capturing units in one move, especially since the strong side can reinforce the lab area pretty quickly. That’s why there are forests next to the lab. I’ll consider carefully before doing something like that in the future, I can see it being frustrating and could probably be avoided with more careful HQ/lab placement. Again thank you for good commmentary and feedback. Good luck on AWBW.

Awesome! Wow thanks for tuning in! Glad you enjoyed my video. Yeah the map at first didn't appeal to my liking but after playing it through, it was actually fun. Thanks for the info!

44:30 The update to Rachel's missiles don't prevent you from firing on your own units, but rather count your units negatively in the calculations for missile targeting. In this specific case, there were 8 units that would be hit by the HP missile centered on the artillery. Since your MD tank is in the mix, that counts as a negative unit for Rachel's missiles. Therefore, the HP missile would calculate that there are 7 targets centered around that artillery which is still higher than anywhere else on the map. That is why the HP missile would have hit your MD tank if you didn't move it.
