need help with naming the territories.thought of just assigning the numbers on map and to it the name of family ruling the territory in attack list.
would that be good?

The idea sound good...
Map needs a lot of work...
but...
I say, Give it a try

i thought instead of traditional bonus system to make one that simulates rising in ranks in mafia:

Title Nb. of territories Nb. of provinces Rank Bonus
Capo Crimine (Don) - "Crime Boss" > 30 > 7 +10
Sotto Capo - "Underboss" > 20 5-6 +8
Consigliere - "an advisor" > 12 3-4 +6
Capo Regime - "Regime head" > 4 1-2 +4
Sgarrista - "Soldier" > 6 0 +2
Picciotto - "Little Man" 0-6 0 +1

i was thinking about implementing omerta - mafia code of silence into the game.my idea is this: when player uses cards to recruit his men he exposes his actions to authorities thus breaking the omerta.as repercussion he gets penalty which halves recruitment number on his next turn.

this would somewhat give advantage to weaker players when using the cards, and thus evening the odds and adding new level of complexity to the game.in game that would mean that player needs to lay low next turn and with it avoid alerting the authorities again.

intteresting idea, but i'll restrict myself to visual this time, i'll leave the game play to later

now:
1. the text font needs to change
2. the "enna" arrow looks like its pointing to the mountain
3. the mountains look cartoony, you should try to change them
4. the borders are too thick compared to the rivers
5. the neutral ground in the right part of the map must go
6. you should try to find a place for your legend

that all i can say for now.

response to painkiller:

1. used this font to add to the mood of mid 19th century since this was the typewriting font used in newspapers then.will open pool.if majority thinks i need to change them i will

2.i know but don't have better solution.will try to work on it. fixed! changed the arrows

3.i think they look fine.i wanted them this way

4.will work on it. fixed! rivers bolded.

5.done

6.don't have better solution cause legend is too big to fit on the map itself

thanks for comments!
