@Mercer, I know however there is not much I can do with no bonus links (and those would definitely make it look ugly). That's why I wrote it down in the template description. It tends to work surprisingly well on same maps where this is the case (
https://www.warlight.net/Play?PreviewMap=1 comes to mind). Anyway the single-player levels have theses nice yellow boxes that pop up, if you were to make a level of this I'd suppose you could explain it there :)
Edit: also as every 2nd territory gives +1 army, the 'real' value often will be -.5 instead of -1 when you take an even number of them.
