So all gold continent has gold cobs which is more logical, and only rum bottles in the jungle

agreed that neither CORTéS nor CORTéZ look good, so let's not go there. my question is more related to cortez instead of cortes, as cortes appears to be the almost universal spelling, whether with e or é. since the famous cortes was a real person and the equally real, though less well known, orellana has his correct name, cortez is noticeably inconsistent.

"the gold cob & rum bonus will be clearer if the gold cob and rum are placed beside each other visually"' : great advise =D> =D>
these have been done successfully. the apostrophe in it's is still there though.

in the win condition legend, access is missing an s.

the large inca and orellana names are sloping, while the other three are level. i'm thinking that the level names look much better, so perhaps make them all level or, like holy roman empire, all curved?

I don't see it - i must be blind was my first reaction, but its not the gold & rum bonus but the bonus legend where the koppesnellers are - got that too now :D

in the win condition legend, access is missing an s.

Got it (again) (Yikes - how did i miss that!)

Good point

Orellana stays sloping for the difference (not a starting spot)

Big fan of the change there. I think visually that helps create separation. That's beneficial.

As for the rum bottles and coin change in in the gold continent and the forest, I do think that takes away a unique aspect of gameplay. As you no longer reward it to go into the jungle and leave your starting area. While thematically I can see why this makes sense, it does take away that as an option to play into the jungle instead of your starting area.

Then with gold cobs in the jungle it would be this (1.21):
