OK, in light of the apparent interest in a tiny luck-oriented map I thought I'd come up with a tiny, less luck-oriented map. It'd be impossible to win on the first round (because you'd only get an initial drop of two territories in any size game), and while a player may be eliminated early in a six player game, you take the same chance playing a six player doodle earth game.
yeah, I know it's a mess and I've even left the "y" off of "horizontally" but you get the idea.
