"Something" like that yes - obviously you have some work to do on the bottom right continents - but I reckon you could get something like that to work!!

To think a blurred. Could you try it with the crisper lines you currently have outlining the main map?

Keep up the good work!

oaktown wrote:Gameplay stuff: since this is classic gameplay there isn't much to talk about beyond the normal stuff, like...
• Bonuses: the +2 region is fine, as are the big regions which basically come out the same with the capiral bonus. Moldava is a nice +4, and will present an attractive yet challenging start. The other two +4 regions are questionable if we use Classic as our guide. Maramures gives +4 for a 6 territory, three border region that is even easier to old than Africa, which is the same size but gets hammered by three other regions. And Oltenia seems even higher: +4 for only five territories with three borders... and since it allows for fairly easy, one territory at a time expansion both east and west, I'd say that might be a better +3.

foregone wrote:So, let me try and answer some of the questions here. As it is now there are 42 territories, none of which are set to deploy as neutral. As oaktown stated somewhere right at the beginning of this thread, its a number which works for nice territory divisions in 3, 4 and 6 players. In 1v1, by my calculation, this will end up deploying 14 territories to each player and 14 neutrals, which you think may end up in blockages.
I have no problems with opening some of the impassables up though to prevent that if you think it will help. I think it may be better to open up by Maramures to Moldavia (probably Maramures to Suceava or Bistrita to Suceava) rather than opening up a middle way between Transylvania to Oltenia or Muntenia, mainly because I think the bigger continents will be pretty hard to hold as it is. Do you think this would prevent the blockages issues?
Bucharest will at this stage give a small advantage to anyone who drops it, and holds it, but I figured its placed in a hard to hold continent and will bring in some dispute to the area, so that players don't always just make flight for the corner continents. Its also balanced by Transylvania getting a slightly bigger continent bonus than Muntenia. I could drop Bucharest neutral 3 or somesuch, but it would throw the territory numbers off a bit, so I would probably have to carve a half territory elsewhere...possibly in Maramures and then bring its continent bonus up to 4.
You are on the right track with opening up the north-eastern mountain pass. It would be great to try to play with the cut in different places and pick the best one, but I guess that's just not possible, so your intuition about where to put the cut is probably better than mine. I would probably not code Bucharest to always start neutral, but I would code it so that the same person who gets that does not also get a +2 on the drop.How do you feel about the above? Would you like me to try to implement any of them?
