Treasure has some modifications needed I think. From the first game in this map(3083560):
>>>>
Mixxilflix: can be a bit difficult to get going in this game, but i guess that's what neutral games do...
2008-08-20 16:09:59 - The Chosen One: this is my first time on this map too and tks t-o-m...gl all
2008-08-22 00:04:03 - Mixxilflix: I think this map needs a little tweaking - let's all give constructive feedback
2008-08-22 00:04:38 - Mixxilflix: we're experienced players - I will give feedback here soon
2008-08-22 00:10:12 - Mixxilflix: ul TCO - I think this map is slow to start and then gives too many bonuses
2008-08-22 00:10:40 - Mixxilflix: Also, there are maybe too many luggers
2008-08-22 00:11:08 - Mixxilflix: the bonuses can quickly escalate into an avalanche like me at the moment
2008-08-22 00:13:25 - IngredientZ: whoa, just checked in; yeah i've been depleting my armies just to get a card each turn and suddenly red gets 21 armies without even cashing in cards? maybe if the non-reef places started with fewer neutrals on them it'd be easier to get started....
2008-08-22 00:17:42 - IngredientZ: red, i wasn't paying close enough attention, how did you get such a huge bonus? i guess having 3 snorkels helped...
2008-08-22 00:35:51 - Mixxilflix: i had 2 snorkels as everyone starts with
2008-08-22 00:37:05 - Mixxilflix: getting the lugger and water pool did it mainly
2008-08-22 00:37:23 - Mixxilflix: as u can see, i didn't have much, but it became massive
2008-08-22 00:37:46 - Mixxilflix: and the luggers are too many, which means i can be anywhere on the map easily
2008-08-22 00:38:17 - Mixxilflix: .
2008-08-22 00:46:40 - IngredientZ: oh, right, but when you got the bonus you had 3 snorkels. it's just that the pools and luggers count for each snorkel, so having just one more snorkel translates to 5 or 6 more armies
2008-08-22 01:57:17 - Mixxilflix: OK my latest bonus was slightly ridculous!!

Sorry it's not formatted, but i think our comments as printed sum it up.
Possiby fewer luggers, maybe limiting bonus, or even putting 15-20 neutral armies on luggers to start with(makes it harder to conquer lugger).
