I've never tried, but I know you can rotate saved images somehow and then save them as something different

Those mountains are terrible. Also those shades for the colors aren't going to work unless you texture them as they are a little bright and painful. I'd suggest stealing the CCU colors, those are fairly pale and people seem to respond well to them for an initial draft.

some of those territories have too many territories, conquering 12 territories just to get a bonus is arduous.

74 territories

3 players - 24 per player , 3 neutral
4 players - 18 per player , 3 neutral
5 players - 14 per player , 4 neutral
6 players - 12 per player , 3 neutral

:wink: i'd reconsider the teritories, to many neutrals on every situation.

i suggest going for 72, its perfect for 3,4,6 player matches and for 5 player matches it has only 2 neutral (very good considering that 5 player games aren't that played)

stop bumping it if you have nothing to add.

even then it's probably not even worth it.

if nobody has replied, chances are nobody likes it
