Ports, perhaps?
Belize City, Puerto Cortez in Honduras (the territory bordering Guatemala), Limon in Costa Rica (borders Panama) and Colon, Panama? It'll create a north-south route with two southern access points and two northern access points. It would also give Panama a much needed third border to protect, while the other three territories are already borders.

We are, Zeak... you, me, and whoever else comes along. Right now I'm looking for community input on the gameplay, and later my community plans for the graphics will be revealed.

Central America is considered a region of the North American continent. Geopolitically, it usually comprises seven countries – Belize, Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, and Panama. Mexico, in whole or in part, is occasionally included.
edbeard wrote:Belize - +1. why? well 3 terr (I think) and 2 borders. yea. it's probably a +2 but expansion is really easy. holding Belize and Guatemala will be a cinch. An 8 territory continent with 2 borders as a +5? +4 seems a bit better
edbeard wrote:Costa Rica, Panama: this is where things get dicey. The combo is 9 territories with 3 borders and a +6 as you currently have it. I'd say these are easier to hold than any of the other combos which add up to +5 or just Nicaragua which itself is a +5. But, Costa Rica as a standalone might be a +4. 4 terr, 4 borders, 4 attack it. Panama is a +3 though.
I'm not really sure what to do there. The +6 for the combo seems too high but the standalone bonuses might be apt. Costa Rica would be too powerful if made a +4 and you can't add more borders to Panama to make the combo harder to hold. 3 borders is quite low though.
