This may just have been one of oddest game play posts I've ever seen in the Foundry.

very odd, hmmm, no offense but these twists could turn many away, many players just do not like reading so many things to figure things out, sometimes keeping it simple is great, i know you like the more complex although you think its not, many players say it is and when a map may be too time consuming to figure out, they give up on it, instant gratification is always good. I do like your idea though.
many luv the cairns map you did, styles and formats like that are really neat
Thanks Blitzaholic. Once again i'm sure i don't have to remind you that if players don't like a map they don't have to play it. If they chose to turn away from my maps, then they chose to turn away from their minds being challenged and that is what life is all about...same as going to school to learn and be educated.
Now the piece about the Poa is stating the obvious because if Poa is "their balls" then in Chinese culture all eunuchs were required to be buried with the private parts in the shrouds/coffins whatever they were buried in. Simple fact, otherwise they didn't get to heaven as "whole beings", and in concjunction as to how this plays on the map, well it really is an no-brainer anyway because if you look, the Poa territory is bordered by the Cai eunuch territory and therefore can be said to be part of the Eunuch continent.
And from feedback that i see on the map games of mine that i spy on, most people simply prefer to jump in the deep end and then wonder why they don't win a map, because they haven't taken to the time read the instructions. I see this time and time again, and it doesn't deter me from creating a map that is somewhat complicated; because there are plenty of maps out there for everyone to play.
