The complaint was him taking advantage of a KNOWN issue that only he knew about at the time, so for you to say that is totally ridiculous is totally ridiculous.

We should be getting up a new update soon which will fix a double bonus problem we had in the XML, as well as fixing the number of starting territories for 1v1 games, which should be 8 per person, not 14. This should lower the chances of drop bonuses, which we've seen in a couple of games because of the additional starting territories.
Two other issues I need some feedback on:
- Are the bonuses for the Choctaw and Creek a little too much? From what we've seen those have been the focus of a lot of games, and once held provide enough troops to pretty much take the game. We were thinking maybe lower Choctaw to +2, and Creek to +3 or even both to +2.
- Along those lines it seems Apalachee might be a big of a clog, specifically JE-2, making it very difficult to break any bonus on Creek, which again might be a little much at +4. Our thought on that would be to change the border allowing CH-C to attack CR-1, as well as changing the border between CH-C and JE-2 to allow CH-C to attack AP-3. This will give players a second way to get into that area, and make AP-3 a viable option. Right now it seems AP-3 is pretty much never attacked.
These are just a few early observations, but might help keep the games a little more even, and open the gameplay up a bit in that area. We would like the focus to be more on the War Zone and not the bonuses in the Northwest.
Thoughts?

Seamus, posted this in the game we have going on, but I think keeping the T/H and B/A as an auto deploy works better. Gives someone who does not get that top left an option to grab some armies. As in a lot of the games (1v1), one player will get more of those territs than the other. An easy bonus to grab with some nice dice and one got, easy to hold.
The three bonuses top left need to come down for balance reasons alone. 2,2,3 would be my suggestion.

This question was probably already asked but are the T/H's & B/A's +2 auto-deploy??? The map is unclear and I'm wondering if I wasted a turn on them.

Hmm, now thast I look t the log, I see its an Autodeploy... whivh I think should be specified in the legend that its not +2 but autodeploy 2.

They are supposed to be a +2 bonus, not auto deploy, but currently they are auto deploying instead, which will be changed in the next update. Sorry about that.
