Why putting Resort in to Pleiku regions though the Vietnam Central Highlands does not have beaches?
So...

Well, Resort is not an official map, and so it has to be manually added to the map list for the campaign. It will just be that server.

But you're right, there are no fkn beaches in the central highlands. I dunno why admins bother playing that map anyway, it's awful.

Ask the admins

Resort was never added into campaign roster by default. Server admins have control over that though.

If you are talking about the SEA server that has this map on Pleiku, it is more of a balancing thing to help VC side retain some territory easily since North is pretty disadvantaged in campaign. This is balanced out by the fact the Southern has Cu Chi and Dawn of Tet on Saigon which are also pretty hard attack maps especially when North is attacking them.

I hope this detailed explanation found in SEA Community Group helps you to understand why

Regarding to Resort in SEA Servers

I have received numerous complaints about Resort in SEA Servers. But you may not know, Resorts existence has a purpose.

[Previous problem]
Previously, SEA servers had Firebase Georgina and Highway 14 in the Pleiku region.
Pleiku is the North's only territory at the start of the campaign. Since the North is too weak in early war, Pleiku is lost almost every campaign in the early war. This gives a big disadvantage to the North when they do lose Pleiku, as you can only use PAVN's counter attack on your owned territory.

[Re-balancing]
Resort serves as a heavily defendable map in the early war in order to help the North to hold onto Pleiku in the early game. This can achieve better campaign balance in SEA Servers.

Resort is the most defendable in the early game due to:
1. No combat helicopters/pilots
2. No Spooky
3. Resort is a defender favored map
4. Movable HMGs has made the defense on resort much stronger

After gaining result from 100+ Resort match, the numbers and statistics show that the North will most likely win defending Resort and this stops southern stacking or "blitzkrieg", leading to higher amounts of North victories. North: South win lose ratio is significantly improve after Resort is added to the campaign, achieving the goal of campaign balance

[How to avoid making the same mistake]
1. Tell players to not choose resort when playing the South. The servers have already warned about it but it is better to be insistent
2. Get good commanders or pilots, only attack in mid war from '68-'72
3. JUST BE GLORIOUS RICE FARMERS
[Mistakes that should be avoided]
Use Search and Destroy to attack Resort is even dumber, making Pleiku neutral just invites the North to reattack Resort, where the North will be defending again and is just a waste of Combat Power (up to 225CP).

[Future]
Most likely TRIPWIRE will rebalance the North in future updates, as they have mentioned in the reddit AMA regarding campaign balance. Our servers will balance through gameplay methods to the best of our ability.
