Best Deals

What do you think the best deals for country bonuses are?

I'd have to say Australia (Classic)... Only 4 territories and one area to defend from for 2 armies.

It's pretty hard to get it since Land's End is a very desired area, though.

new england in USA is incredibly tough to break once held for that map it is hugely advantageous to hold it...

one of the games i just lost, I got to my turn and a guy had eleven armies parked on ohio when I got there after he had taken it....we lost

But I like downtown, only one army, but if you park everything there it can be hard to take

Agreed on Chochina. I don't think it should be worth three though... I've been knocked out early because of people have 2 armies on the 3 territories from the get-go.

not sure what the best is, but the WORST certainly is Antartica in World 2.1: 4 territories, 4 borders, 0 bonus troops.

LOL i love that it shows in the game log that you are awarded 0 for holding it...

There are 3 reasons for that...

1) Completeness...
2) Maintainability... (Easy to change bonus in future)
3) XML tester tells you that you have countries which aren't in Continents.

Yeah its great. Maintainability's an interesting one, cause i guess they could potentially increase it (not that i think it should be).

XML tester: dont remember it doing that for the sea territories in Alexander's Empire, but could be wrong.

You remember correctly about Alexander's Empire, but in that case Mediterranean Sea, Aegean Sea, and the Caspian Sea are not continents (i.e., groups of territories) themselves nor are they part of any of the other continents, so you never get a continent bonus for holding them.
