If you wanted to incorporate dinosaurs, you could turn an impassable or two into killer neutral "dinosaur habitations" or what have you. Just a thought.

As Sully said, a couple of killer neutrals as always a nice idea as long as the neutral value is small enough as to stop it becoming a barrier. Also, bung in a few degrading spots around the map to show off high concentrations of predators. You already have you dinos drawn so you could easily have a T-Rex symbol for killer and the flyer for degrades.

They seem like some nice ideas, ill make an update that includes them. Is the aim to make them a feature but not really effect gameplay? It might be annoying having degrading spots without some way of countering them, but would that be adding too much?

I'd ditch the tar pits, I don't think they add much to the gameplay. As for the dinosaurs, I think Scavenger should replace the mountain/rift impassable between Travi-Zimmotogoa-Village of Nok-Triage-Ginerbis, and I think Tyrant should replace the mountain range in the center of South America between Kaiwa-Malichift-Baniwa-Jordan-Iauanaua-Poyanawa. I think it would cause the dinosaurs to be used more often.

Ah yeah, i see your point, atm the dinos are easily avoided. Thank you
Unlike Sully, I would say to keep the tar pits but like Sully, place them more carefully. Right now, as soon as someone has a bonus, no troops will be on them anyway. If you place them on bonus borders (both sides) then they will get into the thinking of players more. Like the small dinos by the way.
the dinosshould be able to be avoided if its reseting to neutral. i dont want to protect more regions then i have to because the dinos are only 2. replace the mountain rege in the middle of africa but not the crack and replace the the mountians in southamerica but not the mountians there that are touching blanco

I like the tar pits, great idea! keep them! the T-Rex's I'm not so sure. Since they don't belong to any bonus, have no strategic worth, and are killer neutrals, no one is ever going to bother capturing those territories. The only way that would work is if they block some path to which there is no alternative or if they act as a risky short cut (see 13 colonies Indian territories). Or just cut them.
Hi, my name is the Bison King, and I am COMPLETELY aware of DaFont!
There are two things to consider when placing the killer neutrals. Will anyone take them (right now no) and what benefit do they give to the map/player.
By placing one into Neige, a player has to go through them to conquer the bonus or go around 2 whole territs to get to the other side. If you place another onto Bellany islands, you create some danger to that shortcut. By making them a 2 neutral, players will go for them more often but create enough of a blockade to lull players into a false sense of security.

i'm not sure if i understand, right now the only tar pit not on a border is Kaiwa.
version 10! ok taking things into account here are a few changes:
congo and triage swapped so more accurate no more spots, cleaner T-rex's moved to areas in which they provide shortcuts and where they will be used more bridge between Deco and Zulu removed as of placement of scavenger t-rex hence south america changed to 5 bonus not 6 tar pits removed and replaced with: original dinosaurs attack countries on both sides of a boarder near them, -1 troop per term. each marked uniquely
Sorry, but what do eggs have to do with losing a troop. Will they give us salmonella? Bring back the pits. Also, lose the X's as they are the same as the eggs. Just add them to the tar pits/eggs.
sorry i don't think i explained it well, originally there was text at each which said something along the lines of "the pterodactyl is very protective of her eggs and will attack anyone who gets close" and "don't get close to the water, or you might get eaten" but i removed it because it was hard to fit in. I thought that it worked a lot better with the theme. oh and there is the dinosaur at the bottom (blue arrows) if u hadn't noticed. so is the placement fine? ie just change what it looks like?
Don't overdo it on the decaying regions. First, I'd suggest going back to the tar pits for the sole reason that it's confusing to have more than one icon mean the same thing, especially if they're explained in different sections of the map. Secondly, your decaying regions should not be adjacent to one another. Thirdly, the placement of Scavenger is very nice, but Tyrant definitely needs to be moved to a better spot, as TBK has already mentioned.

does anyone have a good example of decaying regions? If not il probably just remove them
