Mountains

Post by vascodagama »

One should also add the mountains (like Serra da Estrela, Marão, Gerês and others) that way we could make the map richer and make the attacks less direct...

So, here's what the infamous formula says about your bonuses:

Norte: 3.08
Centro: 6.00
Lisboa: 4.67
Alentejo: 4.17
Algarve: 3.33

I feel like with 34 territories this map is too small, but I know some people prefer smaller maps and I honestly don't know what you can do about it considering the size of the country.

It would be nice to have at least 36 for 6 player games. Can you add a couple of territories? Maybe split Acores in two territories and add another one somewhere else?
