[Sea Bass]

Does Hawaii count as part of Oceania in World2.1 thanks in advance(I think it is but not sure).

Simple answer: Yes

Long answer: If you look at the XML (http://www.conquerclub.com/maps/World_2_1.xml) then you see

Code: Select all

<continent>
<name>Oceania</name>
<bonus>3</bonus>
−
   <components>
<component>Western Australia</component>
<component>Central Australia</component>
<component>East Australia</component>
<component>New Zealand</component>
<component>New Caledonia</component>
<component>Papua New Guinea</component>
<component>Hawaii</component>
<component>Sumatra</component>
<component>Java</component>
<component>Borneo</component>
<component>Sulawesi</component>
<component>Irian Jaya</component>
<component>Philippines</component>
</components>
</continent>

But it only applies to thw whole oceania bonus, not to the east indies bonus, which is where you might get confused:

Code: Select all

<continent>
<name>East Indies</name>
<bonus>4</bonus>
−
   <components>
<component>Sumatra</component>
<component>Java</component>
<component>Borneo</component>
<component>Sulawesi</component>
<component>Irian Jaya</component>
<component>Philippines</component>
</components>
</continent>

Hope that helps

Sea Bass, if the others your playing against don`t realise this, just leave 1 on Hawaii until you are strong enough to hold it more. you may get away with just the 1 for a few rounds, i know i have on numerous occassions.
