Concise description:- Shandong started off with 2, not 3.
Specifics:- Shandong had a neutral 2 (instead of 3) before I deployed (I know you can't see it in the screenshot, but I didn't go).

I believe I was in the same tournament as the OP, and I had the same question when I saw that. Is there any explanation as to why? Also, does that territory start neutral in every game played on that map?

yes it starts neutral every time and yes it is suppose to be 2.

Why does it start like that?

Because the mapmaker designed it that way.

the mapmaker did not want anyone to start with the continent bonus from the drop so he made that one neutral.
he also did not think a three there would be fair as it would act as a shield so he made it a 2 instead of the usual 3.

Well obviously.

Thank you, you actually answered my question.

If that's the reason, wouldn't it make sense to put that on the map?

i can only guess he thought putting it in the map's thread would be enough.
