Review by Nathan on 8/24/2015.
Nice map - visually attractive and well laid out. Only two issues that I can see:

1 - Bonus imbalance. For example, the Swinging Shore grants 2 armies for controlling five territories, but the immediately adjacent Forest of Temptation grants 3 armies for four territories.

2 - Southeastern camp fest. The southeastern area of the map can be held by controlling only three territories. I recommend a cross-mountain link between Castle in the Mountains and Landlord Jayko's Mansion (or any of the nearby territories) to alleviate the buildup possible there.

Thanks for the feedback!

1 - The bonus imbalance is something I did on purpose. I dislike the idea of standardized bonuses, so I created bonuses with different ratios. What you say is true: a good bonus (in terms of territory/income-ratio) will have some less valuable bonuses close to it.

2 - This is true; even though the southeastern corner is not worth a great amount of income, it can be turned into a stronghold. I'll add the suggested connection as soon as possible.

Edit: the connection is there now.

Nice little map. Yes, a bit unbalanced, but nothing too terrible.
Missing connection: Orange Docks <> Birch Shore.
