So anyway, I'm not bumping up Wa neutrals, but I'm thinking it should be lowered back to +2 - it's purpose is not to be the most important bonus.

Also, Qingdao and Gyeongju neutrals could maybe be lowered to 4 each now that the bonuses pay off only each 3 territories.

On that notion... How about making Silla give 3 for 4 - that would differentiate it from Tang more: it would be harder to get a bonus but it would be higher in the long run...

Fair enough, Natty. Qingdao and Gyeongju being 4 neutrals is much better than 6 and 8... that was insane.

It's not the team game map it once was, but I understand that the previous version made Singles games difficult.

Anyway, I've said what I wanted to say... good luck with the map! You know I've got nothin' but love for ya, Nat.

If only we could make separate maps for singles & team games... Anyway, I hope the next update works out better for teams... should be up soon.

Thinking back to what DiM said about the southern mountains, I wanted to give them one more shot.

Anyone think this version would be better than the current one?

The map was renamed "Three Kingdoms of Korea". You ask, ConquerClub does it.

Instead of sending invites this time, I'm just posting this game here. First come, first served...

Question about the Wa bonus - BOB is showing the following in the text map:

Wa (2) Honshu(1) Kyushu(1)
Any capital (0) Qingdao(6) Pyongyang(1) Namgyeong(3) Gyeongju(8) Bon-Gaya(3)
Wa with a Capital (0) Any capital (0) Wa (2)

Shouldn't "Wa with a Capital" be (-2), to cancel out the Wa(2)? Or am I reading this incorrectly? I haven't held Wa with a capital to be sure how it acts.

Nope. The 0 bonus overrides the previous bonus. I don't know if BOB shows overrides.

That makes sense. I should have figured that out from the other bonuses listed, but for some reason that one looked strange. Never mind.

Played 1 vs 1 with the new changes. Not sure I like them, right now it seems that the first player has a big advantage. However, as I noted before, not every map needs to be designed for 1 vs 1.
