Zimbabwe Strategic

Another inventive map style. One thing that doesn't sit very well with me is that while blue bonuses reward odd numbers of territories all but one of them have an even number of territories in total; so in those cases you can't take total control of them without getting a negative income. That's most likely by design, but it still feels weird while playing.

On a more minor note, Lupane-Nkai connects to Insiza, which it should be doing.

Love it. New concept that makes you rethink about controlling the amount of territories in a bonus.

Interesting bonus concept, but the map as it is is too small for strategic purposes. On top of that, the lack of variety in bonus sizes makes the map kind of uninteresting to play, and I feel like it would be a lot better if you had bonuses, with 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 territories that comprise them. Overall though, it's a pretty neat concept that hasn't been seen before, and for strategic play, I think this bonus concept has some potential. If you were to make another map with this system, I'd recommend making it a bigger map and to make bonuses of all sizes instead of just 6 territories. Overall, 3/5.

Wow.. Anyone that has made an INSS map will immediately understand the pain you went through to make this. You must truly be a masochist to create a 7-territory INSS bonus; so if nothing else, I applaud your ambition!

From a technical standpoint, I can't help but respect the work that's gone into this. The bonus system is new and creative, and the art, as usual from you, looks clean and polished. It's beautiful aesthetically.

My one complaint is that the "primary" bonus for Seke-Goromonzi (it looks like it's the one-territory -1 in this case) isn't colored red, which incorrecty gives the territory a black border. In my experience, if you start with the bonuslink bonuses (appropriately colored), then each territory will use that color for its border regardless of the colors of the rest of the bonuses you add afterward.

It's still a 5-star map for me though. Very well done and I'm looking forward to giving it a try in some actual games.

Unique concept!

Very fun map to play on!

I like the new bonus system, but a lot of blue bonuses only have 6 instead of 7 terr, which i found rather confusing when i first played it.

Wow that was harder than expected. The strategy is probably to get an odd number of territory, build up a force, and then blitz the enemy with an overwhelming force.

I love the idea, but it has a couple issues.
The most glaring one is blue bonuses with even number of territories, giving negative income upon completion. It's needlessly confusing imo.
The second issue is Insiza bordering with Lupane-Nkayi while it very clearly shouldn't.

Can't give more than 3/5 to a map with a broken connection, sorry.

Great map

Interesting army calculations. But once you get about 10+, you can just start working on territories. Well done.

That was clever

Awesome

this was a waste of time
