Great map - things can snowball quickly so you have to advance cautiously.

Yeah, that is what I found as well when I was testing it. I also found it fun to play with abandon cards to give a little defense.

Difficult with 3, extremely difficult - next to impossible - with 5 AI's playing. Shivvvvvvering when I think about playing this map with real life opponents. Good job. 5/5

nice, fast, little map with well-thought bonuses. Not as boring as it looks ;)

Recommendation: set Luck to 0%, otherwise the player/party who has at first bad luck will loose

Wow you really put a lot into this map I think that the flag bonuses definitely change the play of the map, but that was on the title, so we were warned, but I think with the explanation for the triangle bonuses of three you meant to put (2x2x2) instead of (1x1x1) because a 1x1x1 would be a single territory, if my math is correct, just wondering, because it confused me.

Nice map, interesting concept.

Unfortunately, it's not really useable unless you use a built-in distribution setting. (Using either Automatic or Manual distribution makes starting position too important, often settling the game on starting position alone.)

Lots of fun if using the built-in 6-player distribution modes, however, because then it's balanced, and an unusual design requiring some thought to play!

Quick and easy! Fun to battle it out for the middle hexagon!

nice map with a funny theme - but unfortunatly hard to play. it seems to be perfect balanced but the super bonuses are to powerful for this small map. the game is lost when the opponent invades those bonuses
Response by map creator almosttricky on 3/18/2014
The map is meant to have a different strategy compared to most Warlight maps. Bonuses are meant to be hard to hold (abandon cards help). Instead of defending, invading your opponent may be a better strategy here. Also, go for those capture the flag bonuses!

This looks like a funny little thing. Do not get confused by setting the wrong initial goals. As soon as your opponents get more bonuses than you do it isn't easy.

Nice and simple, if a bit overloaded with troops near victory

Not a difficult map, but fun to play. Block your team-mate, go left and break through. Once you control a second starpoint, it gets easy. Still trying to figure out the bonuses though. Ended with 679 per turn?

This was fun, given the computer extra bonuses was a good idea.

Map is only playable if you get the centre spawn, took me ~10 tries of only selecting centre before the RNG gave it to me. Requires rebalancing or removing the possibility of getting centre spawn.

It would be really nice if there was a way to program the AI's to surrender when it becomes obvious they can;t win, Would prevent the game from "dragging on".
