I can take those now ... Any comments are welcome. An update will be coming soon.

Very nice.

>consider auto-deploys for the capital of each country
>split central latvia up as suggested already

And although you may not be completely at the graphical stage yet, I'll leave my thoughts now;
>the grid is visually...strange. I know it's marble, but those lines interfere with some of the borders and I think it'd look okay without
>the colours of some of the adjacent bonuses are quite similar - namely central/west latvia and north/west lithuania
>to be really meticulous, I might sort all the bonus listings from top to bottom geographically : )

It's passed a month without an update.

Moving this one into the Recycling Box for a [Vacation] period, if you want to continue with the map, then one of the Foundry Moderators will be able to help put the thread back into the Foundry system, after an update has been made.

To get this rolling again. We think there needs to be split in Latvia? Past that what else we looking at so we can get the game play stamp on this.

Maybe you could consider dividing it like this?

Why that connfirguration over the current configuration?

[isaiah40]

my previous comments on the undesirability of a 2-region islands bonus still stand, bruce! this is especially because this bonus is in the corner. if u feel that u really must have a 2-region bonus, then split the central latvia bonus, which i see anyone with any sense avoiding, and merge west estonia with islands estonia.

This I agree with. You can split Central Latvia at Cesis/Ogre and call them North/South Central Latvia. You could also switch Jelgava from West Latvia to South Central Latvia. As for the bonus values, both North and South Latvia could be +4, and West Latvia can remain at +4 as it will have the same number of bordering territories.

Well, it divides latvia in 5 parts, and it has some basis in real world divisions...

Just an idea I guess.

[Bruceswar]

Using what natty posted... Here are some quick lines to see where the new region borders would be. The black numbers are the number of regions. Bonus Values would have to be agreed on once the borders were reset.

I think it looks pretty good, there's 2 easy bonuses and each has a bigger bonus to expand to.

A good thing is also that you can use the names of the cultural regions for the bonus areas, so you can avoid the west, east, central etc. notation.

[Bruceswar]

Right so if we go forward for those boundries then what shall we use for bonus values?

I was thinking

3
2
2
5
5

That is from west to east...


Also what to name the other areas? in Estonia and Lith? Rather than using Central etc.

[natty dread]

I don't know if Estonia or Lithuania have similar names for the areas... maybe you should ask someone from the area if they have any ideas.

Looks like I what I will end up doing.

These look like good values to me. You will have 2 smaller bonuses in the middle of the map and this is a good thing. So get an update done and posted, then we can get this moved back into the main foundry!!
