War of the Three Isles

Clever

Horribly easy and not fun. Needs at least more players or at the very least much harder AI

Challenging, finely balanced for long periods.

There is a bonus worth 1,000. In other words, if you happen to get it, the game is over. Or, if your opponent happens to get it, the game is over.

All of the other bonuses are low value, and spread apart. There are many territories that are part of no bonus.

Several bonuses require control of territories on two different islands. So it takes a journey (or if you just happen to have starting territories spread that widely) to complete one of them, and you are rewarded with 2 or 3 more income.

There are jump-off points (or ports) that get you to other islands. However, there seems to be no rhyme or reason behind which ones connect to which ones. There are no colors denoting which ones connect. There are no symbols denoting which ones connect. There are no lines denoting which ones connect. You just have to guess or constantly click and do a search to figure it out.

There exists tiny 3-stacks that contain two white empties and one black "x". What do they mean? Who knows?

Unique map for a fun game. Nice visuals, but the territory names are a bit uncreative lmao

I think this map is amazing, but with missed connections, I can't give it 5 stars. I would love to see those connections fixed.

Hit the 1k reinforcements and this game becomes just a click game eliminating the rest. Zero challenge.

For those who do not understand the ports:

Each main island is connected to all three central islands.
So for example the island in the lower left corner has three ports on the right side, the upper port connecting to the upper central islands port in the lower left corner, the middle port connects to the middle central islans port in the lower left corner and so on. Very simple, no need for shipping lines.
