Why not make them more open -- e.g. make one more territory per cluster into a border territory -- so that a conqueror can just run through to the other side?

Shouldn't that large bee in the top left be on the honey instead of the honey running over top of it?

Maybe but I liked the way the letters look under the honey. And if I move the bee to the top, it covers the title

-The bottleneck issues with 3 Hex groups has been fixed
-The legend is readable and understandable
-The hex letters have been tweaked.

I just want to get the GP stamp before I make the large map. I will be gone all weekend so it will not happen then anyway. But if the GP is set (borders and such) killerpit4e can start on the XML.

Thanks

And why is it "for klobber"? He was an asshole...

I can fix teh words.

The "for Klobber" was to remind everyoen that he tried to make a Honeycomb map but did not want to cooperate to get it finished. Just a fun little inside joke.

The only other concern I can think of is the honey storage cells. They might be moot. The way I see strategy is to move slowly, get cards, and get kill your opponent once the card totals get higher. Flat and no cards game will likely be a bear and more about killing your opponents swiftly. The storage cells offer a shortcut across the map but with so many territories I don't think the cells will be used much. Victory condition maybe?

First of all I'd like to congratulate you for this excelent idea, and this huge map. I'm really eager to play it!
Then, just a note, I see the borders too pixelated and not coherent with the rest of the design (such as bees and honey). Maybe smooth this a bit

Cheers! And good luck with this!

You have a lot of 3 hex regions in the higher part of the map.They are compensated with the 6 hex groups in the lower part, but probably all games will be based on a "attack your opponents 3 hex regions in despite of any real game strategy.

A question: It's possible to have the same number of borders for hex groups? (what you have done with the 3 hex groups previously)
For example C20 hex has 3 hexes to defend, but I20 only two.
If i'm not wrong it's the same thing with a couple of groups of 9 hexes and with 2 groups of 15 hexes but i think you should fix only the 6 hexes groups.
