I think that you should leave the bonuses as they are, this map requires a completely different strategy from all the others and thats what makes it so interesting and why its so popular.
However it might be fun to change it round for about a week so we can try it the other way a few times

I agree.
leave the bonuses as they are now.

right now, i think everything is pretty balanced, and it leaves lots of room for experimentation on the players side of the map.

right now there are so many possible strategies, changing anything would mess up the balance.

my only suggestion is to bump the bonuses up for sanctuary just a bit.
Right now, that +2 bonus is close to worthless for holding sanctuary, when you could use your armies and get a much bigger bonus in other places on the map.

i suggest bump it to +5. then things would get very interesting.

all the terits except for the castles will start as neutral.
so in a 2p game each person starts with 2 castles and 2 are neutral
in 3p each gets 2 castles no neutrals
4p 1 castle each and 2 neutrals
5p 1 castle each and 1 neutral
6p 1 castle each.

as it has been stated elsewhere that this site will have 8 player games in a future update would not two more castles in anticapation of this make a lot of sense

i told you so :wink:

yes true i was considering making the villages as starting points if lack wouldn't have wanted to block the map. but i also did mention the blocking

In game 6875809, a game of triples, you will see that Yellow was kicked out for missing too many turns. Pink hade troops for Boron and just took one territory in his turn before receiving 5 troops for Boron plus 5 troops for Mua which presumably had been Yellow's castle.

Surely, when a player is kicked out his castle reverts o neutral rather than to another player on his side?

well that's something that happens in all maps in doub/trips/quad,if a player gets kicked his troops and spoils will become to his partners
