This is going to be a ton of fun to play!

Quick question: when considering the value of Faith, have you considered that it is virtually dominated by the Sleeping Arcade? The Arcade connects to 3 of the other 4 territories, but is only accessible from two of them - and nowhere else. It may be too easy to hold - the Australia of the map. Even Stealth isn't so completely dominated by one territory.

Well i gues in a real game there is not going to be double figure men everywhere. The bonus for faith seems a bit much.

I think it should be OK: while it's true that the Sleeping Arcade is fundamental to taking the continent, I'm not sure that it's going to help that much with holding the continent: there three other countries you need to defend from attack if you want to keep your bonus.

True.
As far as the numbers go, the only places you really need to worry about double figures are the continent defense chambers, and those look fine to me. A couple of them are a little tight, but still visible, and to shrink the numbers more risks losing them just as much as cramming them into a tight spot.

Nope, if it was quenched you would know it. Jota and I were hoping for a real life play test. And if no one gets around to it with their friends, I might have to do a little simple playtest by myself.

You guys keep repeating the same thing. Jota is on a trans-continental voyage in which he does not have proper access to a computer. Be patient.

does everything have to be one way...? that makes it so confusing, not to mention a bit hard on the eyes with all the white spikes
