This map is perfect as far as I'm concerned. Been watching it since it was in new drafts/projects. Quench this shit so I can play on it already!

One thing was bothering me, and I figured out what it was.
With the reflection fanned out like that, it is acting like a shadow would. A reflection dose not distort in that manor. It is a mirror reflection no matter what angle you are viewing it from. A shadow will do that, but not a reflection. Your first attempt at the reflection was the correct one. You could see what a fanned out shadow would look like behind the Greenland text. You could even try using both a reflection and a shadow. 8-)

I agree with Porkenbeans

It may be late in the process, but I feel your bonuses are often too high, particularly for QEQQATA, which you are saying is going to be +3 for 4 territories with only 2 borders. A lot of the other bonuses, I would think about reducing by one too. They may have lots of borders, but with the -1 reduction for the territories on the ice cap (breaking bonuses from these points would also make it a tougher ordeal) , it makes the map based highly on drop, which I personally find an unattractive quality. Sorry, for the criticism, I just don't think the bonus structure is perfect yet.

The comment on QQata being +3 instead or +2 is part valid

I would argue its balanced against Peary which has 1 less terit, 1 less bonus but is in a more isolated position

If we reduce QQata to +2, Peary is the clearly stronger continent.

The bonuses seem higher than say classic risk, but as you noticed they are all higher.

What I checked is that the small continents are balanced against the smalls and the big against the big.

There is a weak big continent and a strong small continent but I would argue the strong small is Peary which is quick to get, small and well positioned for defence.

I agree w/ Merciless..you don't want a map that allows you to just win because of a good drop or good rolls involving a small bonus. Let's get this map quenched already!!!lol

Then you agree with me? As I'm recommending the reducing of the bonuses, thus giving someone who captures them a less bigger chance..

The bonuses look just right.
I am with Paul, LETS PLAY. 8-)
