It is not uncommon that many games, mostly 1 vs 1 games but other game settings also apply, are considered pretty much lost even before they start.
It can be very hard for the other player(s) to recover from the initial blow after random territories have been assigned and the first player out starts with several extra continent bonus armies.
Suggestion:
- Continent bonuses are not honored during round 1, they are honored as usual starting round 2.
- Territorial bonuses are honored as usual during all rounds.
- This can be made mandatory or optional with a checkbox in Game Creation.
By implementing this the other player(s) will get one round to even out any unfair advantages that the random territory assignment have rendered.
Advantages: Many games start will have a more fair start
Disadvantages: some games will probably last a few rounds longer
