After some very insightful posts from Donelladan and DoomYoshi these changes have been made.
1) To avoid confusion in the movements between the area of element 39 and the Lanthanoids and Actinoids a solid black line has been added. This is an impassable barrier to show players where they can and can't attack. These changes were made after reviewing the long map.
2) The legend has been rewritten to make them more clear.
3) Donelladan was concerned the bottom bonus Actinoids would become to powerful. The Red Nuclear symbols are now -1 decay. Since they distributed nicely over 5 other bonuses (Post-Transition, Metalloids, Noble, Alkali and Alkaline) and there are four in the Actinoids this will make the Actinoids more balanced. If you owned all 11 Yellow Nuclear and the 1 on 61 Pm then you would have +4 balanced out by -4 from the four that decay -1. Once taken you would then be getting a large bonus to reward all your work. The Yellow Nuclear are +1 for each 3 you own. This new balance seems awesome to me.
The Red Nuclear are naturally occurring.
The Yellow Nuclear are created.
Future decisions...
Bonuses need to be reviewed.
How many starting positions for 2 players up to 12 players?
Minimum troops per turn? 3 or 4?
Thanks for all the help! It takes a while to hammer all this out.
