Too big an advantage if you started with both of them.
Exactly. You would then be beaten to a pulp by anyone, because everyone can attack you. It works!
Children, this is what happens to hockey players, druggies, and Hillary Clinton.
Thanks, friend. Its good participate of the creation of an interesting map like this one. Im very proud of the final result. Title, graphics, legend, all is great.
I would only change 2 little things...
1) Remove the small border between Jengis and Chernigov, adding a little one between Ogdai and Suzdal instead.
2) Add a sea
Beyond that, the map is perfect, I think.
Congratulations.

Gavin isnt smart.. the only way you'd even likely get an advantage was if you also went first... and if so its only a 2 army advantage.. the dice could easily screw you out of one.

The dice could also screw your opponents out of taking the pinks of you. A bonus of 2 men is equivelant to the bonus of Australia and South America, nothing to be sneered at, having a bonus like that at the beginning of the game doesnt increase playability. Also, i didnt calculate it but im pretty sure the chances of getting both wouldnt be that tiny, its happened to me before on Discworld, and ive only played that map twice. In a team game you are likely to hold the pinkies if you got them in the beginning.

I've never seen someone win carrying a 2 pt continent from the start..
I've seen someone carry one in over 6 instances.. take that into account.
you ONLY qualify for this bonus if you already hold a group of territiories (i.e. own at least one continent)
marvaddin,
the border change would make monguls too difficult and make islam by far the best prospect
this way the browns can have 4 borders if go for 7 territories and 3 borders if go for 8 territories (i.e. inc cernigov)
sea??

I know I dont like the you only qualify for the bonus.

Yeah, I realized it. But once Mogul is taken, reduce the borders so easily is not good, I think, since other continents cant do that. And this way the Orthodox have 10 adjacent locations (including Papal and Holy), it would reduce it to 9. If you think Emirates is so superior, maybe we can do something... like another country.
Anyway, this is a minor change, and not really necessary.

I have. But they were smashed to bits and never got to take the bonus.

given the result of the poll i reckon one further change to the map - baghdad will also have a border with kublai - this makes the islamic emirates (top of the poll) a bit harder
The map is too much centred on Europe IMO. Often Central Asia seems to be ignored, yet mind you one of the reasons for fighting for the Holy Lands was access to the Silk Road.
Also, the northern Germanic tribes had been Christianised by this point ...
I dislike the connection removal, unless you can explain your point. Even why Emirates is not an easy region, but was connected to both as compensation.
Remove a country from Orthodox is ok, since we still have 36.
New borders of Emirates near Holy Lands is ok.
About Mongul tribes, I think its very powerfull again... could use the old one.
I like very much you added a bonus for holding both pink territories.
I would just put a sea, and consider it finished.
I'd look into what marv said about the various areas...
And as for border color...perhaps a simple black would be nice...and give the sea a 'light gray' or 'light blue gray' tint, to help look like that part is actually finished.
Children, this is what happens to hockey players, druggies, and Hillary Clinton.
