koontz, how do you feel about permanently coding another two regions as starting neutrals? Doesn't matter which ones, it's just that with 47 starting regions, each player in 2 and 3 player games will begin with 15 regions, which isn't good. I think we're going to let you run with the +2 for Austria, but let ian confirm that. Otherwise, you're pretty close to the stamp.

My count has 48 starting regions. But no problem with coding another 2 neutrals in. I will put those ones right at the edge. Lika-Krabava (Serb) + Haromszek (Romania).

This will not destroy the flow of the map.

nice work so far, koontz. to reach 44 starting regions, u need to lose 3 starting regions. will u consider merging two of the romanian border regions? if austria is +2 and tiszantúl is +3, then dunantúl and czechoslovakia seem undervalued at +5; perhaps increase both to +6 or, as nolefan has already suggested, decrease austria to +1? italy currently gives more troops than poland when held with saved land, since the auto-deploy is additional, so the italy consolidated bonus needs to be less than that for poland. for some reason, u have two regions called torontál.

Merged 2.

if austria is +2 and tiszantúl is +3, then dunantúl and czechoslovakia seem undervalued at +5; perhaps increase both to +6 or,

+6 now.

as nolefan has already suggested, decrease austria to +1?

Please no.

italy currently gives more troops than poland when held with saved land, since the auto-deploy is additional, so the italy consolidated bonus needs to be less than that for poland.

Sorted that out by lowering the CB for Italy.

for some reason, u have two regions called torontál.

Sorted.
With the increase to Dunantuls bonus, this has increased all of the CBs by one as well.
Put in the two neutrals at a 1 in my preferred regions.

if no-one has further comments, then the map will be stamped for gameplay in the next couple of days.

May I have one more suggestion about the graphics? I like the black region names with the yellow glow, I think they suite very well to the colours of the zones. The legend on the left-hand side and the legend in Hungarian just below the map could be a bit more different from the region names though. I'm not sure what would be the best fit (you could try e.g. a light brown glow that would match with the background of the text boxes), but I feel that the map would look better and even more organized if that 2 paragraphs of legend would be more distinct from the region names.

Hi, just a color blind guy here that takes a look at maps, this map looks good to me. Not to be ny final voice for the color blinded but to me, looks good, thanks

[iancanton]

koontz, keep an eye out for what happens to the n1 regions when we reach beta, in case player 1 (in 2-player games) can consistently capture them on turn 1 with advantage. in the meantime, we can move our focus to graphics!

Good point ian about the neutrals. And thanks for the stamp.

[koontz1973]

Had to increase the size a tad to fit everything in. Moved the map down. Added things, moved things and played around with things.

Looking good to me now. If no objections are raised, I will start on the small one next.

Apart from one typo (you wrote Slovines instead of Slovenes on the map), it looks good to me, too.

Fixed.

Thanks Koontz. I have taken a closer look at the Hungarian text and found 2 more things:
The legend should say 28%-ára, not 28%-ra, and Magyar Királyság (Kingdom of Hungary), instead of Magyar Birodalom (Hungarian Empire).

[koontz1973]

Apart from the foreign text changes requested by Jatekos, I intend to get the small one done this weekend unless there are any other problems with this one. Is there?
