I see a few people are complaining about a bottleneck between the two continents. The way I see it, if one person owns all of one side to themself, they pretty much have the game won, bottleneck or no. The only scenario where this would not be the case is if one person owns the complete other side, in which then they would also benifit from the bottleneck, so it all works out in the end.
I am against the addition of ports simply because of the region of the map. Annual ice flows through the Bering Straight halt a lot of ocean traffic. Really, fishing ships are the only ships stupid enough to go sailing frequently those waters. If there was ever a war up there, no smart general would sail an army across those waters. He would lose many men in the crossing, and when he finally landed, they would be freezing and exhausted from the voyage. What you have right now is fine, but don't add any ports.
Yeah, that is what I was thinking. By the time you hold the whole half side of the map, you've pretty much won. And I don't like the idea of ports either, mabye an extra couple of islands, but no ports. But thanks for the suggestions Hera, Rj, and Ink. And I think I do have 43 territs, I'll have to fix that.
