Or you could look at it as (34 - (touching continents)) territories touching it. Regardless I doubt something like that could or would be happening on this map.

The most you could make the citadel be worth right now is 1 extra without a bunch of people getting on your case about it.

he could make it 2 or 3 if he made it start neutral every time

Are those changes actually in right now or were they lack just showing what they could look like?
I dont know but either way by the time this map is ready for play it will have been put in

I would love to play Pangea, (i tried to make it also: http://www.conquerclub.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=18233), but i agree that it should be different from Classic, maybe try to make the map from a different angle, like the south pole or something.

1. It's an octagon.

2. It's an octagonal block.

Anyway, I'm on the fence about this map now, but the updates people have suggested will definitely improve it.

A really long while back I started making this map and I noticed it again while I was poking around on my computer so I figured I would try and finish it.

I know there are lots of things to fix graphics wise; I just want advice about continent makeup and such. Also do people think I should add some more countries in New Jersey where the key is right now? There's a fair amount of space for it, and I think it might make things a little more interesting.

I think the layout of the map is excellent. Some of the bonuses don't seem to work out.

Particularly, The Bronx.

With the Bronx, If you hold it, all you have to do is take Harlem and East Harlem, and you only have 2 border countries. I'd suggest knocking this down a bit, like a 4.

First of all i think you REALLY need to work on the graphics. the lines and the arrows are really unattractive, but i know this is your first version. secondly, like everyone else says, the names are really hard to read. speaking of names, what is with them? the names should be related to the theme, but these are like...i don't even know...greek names?
I don't care what theme you pick, you should just stick with it

On the citadel thing, this is my idea, because you clearly want it to be important, i think you should do this, i drew a quick sketch
Image
the 2 antechambers can either be part of the citadel, or 2 neutral countries.

if you don't like this idea, i think you should follow what dominationnation said, make it neutral for the first turn, and have it worth just 2 or 3
