What's with the sudden trend for no army shadows??
Get them back they're much better.

I haven't really looked at this map before and it looks pretty damn nice without them.

The blue on blue in Zuid Netherland is pretty dim without shadows.

i'm a fan of making a map work without shadows, because it just looks cleaner. This one is close, but there's a little tweaking needed.
I'd also like to see somebody do something other than the standard circular army shadow... come up with something that works with the theme of the map. Maybe a historic battle map with army counts on shields? Or maybe this isn't the right place to suggest this.

only 1 bonus for owning all the capitals? There are 11 territorries against which to defend. oening the 3 capitals should yeild a bonus of at least 3, if not 4 or 5. it is extremely difficult to defend against 11 borders... especially when they are all different countries because that is a greater chance that you will be bordering with more players... the more players border your territories, the more people you have attacking you. Maybe I missed some kind of explanation earlier, but +1 bonus does not make any sense to me. Sorry.

kapitals are a bonus, they are not a continent, its good if you have them but its not a continent...

However now that I think about it +1 for holding the three capitals does not seem enough. I think +2 for holding the three capitals would make more sense.

they may not be a continent, but if they are going to have bonuses, I would think the same rules should apply.. the harder they are to keep, the more you get for keeping them.

5 is to much maybe four, but that is also a lot

its just a extra bonus its not very important, for 3 kapitals i think 2 is good, because you only have 3 borders because the kapitals are 1 country...

3 capitals = +2
That's fair enough and the most logical option. MarVal I know you will listen to the voice inside of you that says that you must follow the path of reason (i.e. my post!

)

Yes but your thoughts were influenced by my comment on the previous page as I had already suggested it. You just don't realise that yet, but it's okay! :p Hehe.

i really think anything more than one is too much, it's only three territories so it's not unthinkable that somebody start off holding them all, especially in a three player, if the bonus was much more then they'd have too much of an advantage

Monarchy borders-its these a non crossing borders?

3 capitals +3.
because 3 borders to protect and each of them can have up to 5 territories bordering them.

Might be a bit late... but I have a suggestion:
Why not get rid of the monarchy crossing arrows at all and make the capitals being able to attack each other?
I see a downside for this: Once you have total Netherlands or total Belgium, it is easy to defend.
So, I am not really convinced of my own suggestion...

Look at the Continent Legend for you're answer.

I do not agree, because Luxembourgh has also 3 countries and 1 extra bonus (only 1 attack-route). So it would be fair if the three capitals, like more people think, have 2 extra bonus instead of 1.
Thanks for all you're suggestions, but let me know if i'm correct or not. lol
