Here were the suggestions that came out of the play test:
1) Instead of +1 for any uranium => +1 for any 2 uranium and +2 for all uranium (in same country)
2) Instead of +1 for any scientist => +1 for any 2 scientist and +2 for all scientist(in same country)
3) Instead of Launch code +2 => Launch code +1
4) Instead of President/Premiere +2 => President/Premiere +1

The reasons behind this are as follows
If a player starts off next to a uranium or scientist, they can quickly attack and next turn gain an easy deployable bonuses.
This lowers the overall bonus for holding an entire country by +4 which makes the game last longer and gives the other players more time to react since the front player has less power each turn.

EDIT#1: for some reason the BBC code is not working and I cannot turn it on for this post or thread. It is turned on in my other threads and posts though ?????

EDIT #2: I figured it out, the FF maps are now announcements and those do not have BBC code for some reason.

One minor thing, and I don't know if you could do anything to fix this, but because the territory route lines and the border of the US is the same, it kinda looks like President connects to New York, especially in the small version where the line is n early straight.

I will move the president in the small map and try ti brighten up the connection lines.

Is there anything else that needs to be done. The XML needs to be checked again but I believe it is OK. I fixed all of the issues listed last time (by lanyards) and only have made coordinate changes. All of the final images and XML are listed several posts above by myself and mibi as well.

Thanks

The map needs to be updated to reflect this change.

I don't like to nitpick, but an inaccurate legend could give someone a bad day

St. Petersburg is the name of the city as part of Imperial Russia or contemporary Russia. You might want to fix that one.
