Description

This map is exactly balanced for two players/teams.

You will find special territories that are call "Rest of the East / West". They are like reinforcment, each of them is a 0-supply bonus by default. You can set them to a more-than-zero value and play with the "From the far East / West" distribution (I like when only one is distributed and other are blocked by 500 neutral armies). You can also disable those territories by setting negative bonuses.

Hope you will enjoy !

Nicely balanced and spectacular as well. Good job!

Great map - equally suited for 1v1 or larger FFA and team games. It is well-balanced and entertaining. The bonuses are evenly distributed. For an added challenge, players can also dial up the negative bonuses on the ships or else make them massively armed wastelands (or both, I suppose).

One missing connection I noticed - Ma figal E to Ma Chazali E

The chokepoints in the center of the map offer some great gameplay between someone based in the south and someone based in the north.

Review by captainlove on 8/5/2020.
4 stars! Nice map, and I loved the negative territories to make the AI think before he started island hopping. Well-balanced and nice bonus distribution. I finished it in 30 moves on the first try, so I believe the gold star is within reach, which is a bonus in my ratings since a lot of the maps have the gold star being impossible to reach. I'd like to see more maps like this one, which is a nice sized map but doesn't take 8 hours to play. EDIT-- I just played the most insane game ever on this map. I started with one army in the middle, one on the east and one on the west... I thought to myself "Perfect, gold star for sure!". The damned AI's hid from me, took me 20 turns before I found AI2, then didn't find AI1 until turn 24. When I looked at the history, for the first 16 turns the AI's kept putting 3 in the same territory and kept fighting each other 4 on 4. Neither of them got more than 3 armies per turn until turn 22 when AI2 finally got 7. Neither of them moved more than 6 territories the whole game.

Nice. Challenging but not impossible.

Very cool map and obviously a lot of work went into this. But it was too easy - I don't think the AI's won a single battle. Maybe add a few to toughen it up a bit?

I love the wastelands on the fringes.....The island hopping is a neat way to flank the enemy......I dislike the superbonuses. Aside from the fortresses they are too weird and hard to keep track of.
