So much talk about PEI. Yes P.E.I. stands for Prince Edward Island... so who cares? If it looks neater with just PEI, then do it, if it doesn't look neater, don't do it...jeeze.

Also, where's the monkey? There's lots of room for him on the map... maybe he should have his own territory that can't be occupied by anyone except the monkey. And it can be a random territory every game....eh? No? You should add a poll: Who think the monkey should stay....haha, j/k

Hmm... a smaller map like this one is likely to see a lot of two, three, and four player games. With a low number of players the likelihood of somebody starting out with a small, 3 territory bonus region is pretty high. This in itself is not necessarily a bad thing, but it is cause for concern when the bonuses for the little regions are so high.

Looking at the bonuses, I see that a three territory region gets a +3, a four territory region (with more borders) gets a +3, the five territory regions get a +3, and an eight territory region gets a +5. In general, I'd say that if there is one region that presents a clearly advantageous start something needs to be done.

So make the three territory worth +2, the four the same(+3) 5 +4, 8 +6?

it is possible to add Montreal area. Because population of Montreal area represent 25% of the province. And i think a good idea it' to add a bonus for Montreal the most important region of the map. (See Montreal map Conquer Club).

You do a great job, nice map

I don't have much to say... perhaps you could tweak a couple of borders slightly for clarity. There's room at the Halifax-Acadian Coastal-Fundy Coastal border to increase the length of the border a touch.

Other than that I don't have any problems with this. I'll flip through the thread later and see what the talk has been about.

I don't think the colour of Newfoundland in the legend matches its colour on the map?

Nova Scotia's colour is a bit sketchy in terms of matching as well.

The Nunavik legend colour matches the newfoundland colour on the map more than Nunavik

The newfoundland legend colour seemingly doesn't appear anywhere on the map except the legend.


I think it's a problem and it's not good to figure out what part of the map is which by the process of elimination.

i dont really see it as you since the newfoundland color is way to bright in my eyes compared to the nunavik legend color, but ill release the whiteish border maybe it would make a difference
