Proof that this game has it out for me.

I mean really, have you ever seen a game this OVER before it even started? Dropped not one bonus..that would've been bad enough..but TWO??!!? I can't help but over this.

[Optimus Prime]

WOW, that's pretty crazy actually. My sympathies.

Your playing 1 v 1 which is basicly all luck and complaining about luck

Winning some dice rolls is luck. Getting dropped 2 bonuses is more than luck.

Easy solution - dont play 1 v1 and it wont happen again

That's the same as saying don't play the game again...

Hardly !
In 5/6 player games its unusual to start with any continent bonus let alone 2, more common to have a continent in 3/4 player games but you have allies to help reign back any clear leader. Increased players equals more strategy and consequently less luck, in 1 v1 just going first can mean a huge advantage let alone anything else.

That sucks, but its nothing compared to AoM 2 player. You can get unreal bonuses on that map if you are lucky with the set up (I think I've heard of ~25 man bonuses before at the start).

[Herakilla]

um it can still happen in a three player game too, since in both games the territories are divided up three ways, its just that in a 1v1 the last third is neutral. so dont play 1v1 OR three players every again if you wanna avoid it lol!

Here is the absolute BEST possible drop for AoM (19 terrs)

Duna, Chiuso, Reyes, Puerto Esperanza (+1 local market, + 6 external Markets - easy to protect resource pairs)

Santiago, Chino, Fajone, Puerto Ventura (+1 local market, + 6 external Markets - easy to protect entire island)

Hueretas, Churacas, Marcas, Puerto Rico (+1 local market, + 6 external Markets - fairly easy to protect entire island)

Puerto Modesto, Gringo, Dorata, Colato, Rompas (+1 local Factory, +1 local market, + 6 external Markets - easy access to Ports Bonuses, fairly easy to protect whole island)

Gariola, Ricota, OR Torales (+1 local factory - Torales probably best)

+6 for 19 terrs

So +36 is best possible drop and then you can attack Pirate Cove

What kind of solution is that? If you look at my games you will notice I've got around 35 games and I think maybe 3 of them are 1v1? This is also for a tournament.

I wasn't saying anything needed to be fixed necessarily just that it was an oddity and wanted people to see.

Here is the absolute BEST possible drop for AoM (19 terrs).... So +36 is best possible drop

You can do better. Take 4 resource pairs, and ports go with them (12 territories), 3 markets from those 4 resources, as well as the two remaining markets and ports for those two (7 territories). Then you have 3 local markets and (5+3*4) = 17 external markets for a bonus of 37, or 43 if you count the 6 from territories.
