So, on the topic of the port symbols..... should I change them or leave them like they are now.

I would be fine either way, changed or not. ZeakCytho suggest change, other people have suggested no change. I'd appreciate another comment or two on the topic, to help me decide.

And more suggestions for bonus armies would be nice also. Just remember that in the next version San Miguel will be able to attack Jague.

I think I'll get an update for this sometime over the weekend.

If I had my way, I'd change the port symbols you've currently got - they don't fit well with the rest of the map.

This map has been moved into retirement.

It would appear that development of this map has stalled, as there have not been any updates for some time.

If the mapmaker wants to continue with the map, then one of the CAs will be able to help put the thread back into the Foundry system ;-)

I'm taking this back out of retirement, cause it will be pretty easy to finish.
At least, I hope it will be easy to finish...

Changes:
The graphics behind the title.
New Port icons.
San Miguel can attack Jague.
Aligned the bonus box with the continent names box.
Fixed a few other small issues.

Stuff left to do:
Change bonus armies.
Write XML.
???
QUENCH!

Discussion topics:
What should each continent bonus be worth?
Are there any other problems with the graphics?

I think you should connect Pocri to Jague, and move that legend thing that would be in the way to below Veraguas.

Or maybe just add a port to Pocri.

Oh, and come to think of it, if you do that, you might want to consider moving the port on Jague to Quibdo, since Jague would start to become a major choking point, and make that continent much harder to hold.

Sorry for the double post, but I was looking at the continent bonuses, and Costa Rica looks bad to me. On the one hand, it will always have three borders in a small map, but on the other hand, it's still 3 territories. It's not so unlikely that someone may get it on the drop.

I think the solution is to make it +2, and move the port on Limon to Almirante.

Right now, I think the bonuses will be changed to 2-3-4-3-3-2 (with a port on Pocri). Is that ok with you guys?

Yep that sounds the best.

In Live Chat, bbqpenguin suggested that it might work to take out the bridges across the canal, making it impassable. But then make it so all the ports can attack through the canal to reach all the ports. Gameplay by land would be more limited in the center, which would be balanced by ports having better attacking options, being able to attack all the other ports.

What do you guys think?
I like things as they are now, but I could work with what bbqpenguin suggested if some of you like it.

If you take out the bridges, Colon (is that seriously the region name?) will be a divided region...

yeah.... that wouldn't make much sense.
Rio Hato would have to be made purple... but that'd leave us with a huge continent in the center, much bigger than all the others.

I think we will be keeping the bridges.

Are there any other suggestions?
