catholics 5 armies islamic 5 armies orthodox 3 armies mongol 3 armies pagan 3 armies jewish communities 3 armies (countries marked with star of david) all these religions were battling it out in europe in the 13th Century
the crusades if you own at least one of the above religions then you get an additional army bonus of 3 armies for holding Holy Lands
note - the carpathian mountains are impassable.

if you own a continent then you get an additional bonus of two armies if you own one of the pinks and an additional bonus of four armies if own both - i.e. you need to own a continent before any bonuses on pink can be recieved
ohh... I get it, you called it regions instead of continents in the key. Maybe you should put (continets) after regions to avoid confusion next update. I like this map very much because all the continents are roughly the same size.
Countries, borders, routes:
Catholics: 7, 4, 7 - difficult continent, but is adjacent to papal states.
Orthodox: 6, 5, 10 - adjacent to both pink regions, but unholdable, useless continent.
Emirates: 7, 5, 5 - very good one. Near papal, and adjacent to holy lands; easier to defend than the other ones. I would suggest add one country here, to make it bit worse, adding more balance to the game.
Barbarians: 6, 4, 7 - very good, you can reduce borders to 3 taking denmark. Its probably the first continent to be dominated. But its not near the pink countries. Anyway, maybe a country.
Tribes: 6, 3, 7 - the easiest to defend. To add balance I would add one country, plus remove the route Thurco - Bulgaria route.
Well, I suggest add 2 more countries, making it 36, and I suggest add them to Tribes and Emirates, or Tribes and Barbarians. In the last case all regions would have 7, expect for Orthodox, the most difficult one. What do you think?
the only problem with the extra bonus is that both pink countries border the yellow region, making them comparatively easy to hold from there compared with, say, the northen region.

1st, I would like to say I think the map has great potential, and I appreciate you considered my comments.
But again, I dont suggest you to use the number 34 to total of countries. We would have a number of neutral armies with any number of players, and 4 neutral countries in a game with 6 players, while each player has 5 countries, well, I think is too much. Adding 2 countries, we would only have 1 neutral with 5 players, 0 in other games.
And there is a problem in your statistic about continents. Most important than the number of neighbour continents is the number of neighbour countries, countries that can attack a continent. See, for example, the orthodox. Its not holdable, doesnt matter what you do. So, probably no many tries to get it... and as a neighbour of the Emirates, for example, it will probably not be a problem. And see why its so unholdable: not only the number of borders, but see how many countries can attack each border. And from where to expand once you have it? Almost impossible, too. Try the yellow will be suicide in many games.
My suggestion is: maintain the Orthodox as it is, a no men land. And try add balance considering only the other continents. Orthodox will have a country less, and adjacent to both pink, but it will be still a challenge. As you can have 2 more countries, make each other area have 7. The actual way, the blue continent is much powerfull, so it can trouble red (it will be useless, once the player in blue take denmark) and brown ones, so the single problem will be the green one. As its a small map, no many places to hide.
