If generally you prefer autocrat, then is it still not desirable for Inselkrieger Tournament version? I thought you first proposed it because of the blocking issue.

1. Autocrat would need a multiplayer test match, as it might still be possible to block the opponent from conquering the Island, according to the explanation given by WorldSavior.

I think that blocking from conquering the middle island has not been such a big issue, because for blocking you need a building - which can be attacked and taken down. The major problem was the impossibility to expand, but this problem has been solved in the tournament version with additional building spaces.

I ttried the Inselkrieger Map yesterday again, and I am not happy anymore about using territorial win condition. As it may be based on luck (everyone need to reconquer immediately to avoid loosing which may use up soldiers to an extent where no soldier is left before beeing able to recruit or train) .
@all so you think autocrat is possible now on this map with tothxas editions? I would be open for a testgame tonight to find this out as well.

In any way, it's a very small map, so the games will be short, basically a sprint round.

correct but autocrat would allow for some defensive moves while territorial would not.

Basically I like Elven Forest very much but I don't know whether it had been used already. Using an open map is a good idea.

I thought that about 128x128 would be the best size, but Elven Forest is certainly the kind of map that I was thinking of. Maybe to speed it up we could use dual starting positions? With diagonal positions (blue-green vs. red-yellow) to give it a twist?

edit: Oops, diagonal is unbalanced. So either of the suggested teams.

I balanced my all time favorite Map, the River, with a lot of details

from a first glance it does not look very balanced. There are big differences in the stsrting positions regarding ressources and building plots, So I think the tag unbalanced is still valid.
