San Diego Real Estate! Yes, now you can buy up some of the world’s most expensive real estate in one of the biggest tourist destinations in America.
One of the differences of this map is that units are money more than army pieces. The more money you get the more land you can "out bid" and take over from other developers.

37 areas inside 6 regions. Each region has a bonus tourist attraction. If you have 2 tourist attraction areas, you get +1. Own 3 and you get +2, etc..

Please give opinions and advice. Your input is very much appreciated, especially regarding region bonuses and adding and removing boundaries. What if anything could make this map work?

Thank you.

Ocean Beach should probably be only a 3 bonus, im not sure if there is a bonus between fort rosecrans and n.a.s. also with the $s its kinda confusing that that means 2 more soldiers

also I think with the bonuses it probably should be just 1 extra man if you hold the entire continent, because if someone is lucky and starts with lots of them, the other players are immediately disadvantaged

Very interesting. Is this the way of figuring out bonuses? I can update the map.

Well it is how I'd do it. I like your map a lot really. Looks good enough to play to me. Wish more people would comment so I could see how the rest of the foundry feels.

Sounds like +1 is better. One question, is there a way to make sure a player doesn't get all the bonuses at the start of the game? Doesn't the CC game make sure no player gets an entire bonus area?

LOL!

Unfortunately no... It is 100% random. Judging by how King of the Mountains ends up working you should expect people to start with 1 or 2 statistically speaking.

Thanks Coleman. Even if you don't like a font, let me know. I like playing with my Fireworks. I need to smooth out some border lines.

I'd like to keep the money, it's part of the theme. What about something like ...
Ocean Beach = 3$
North County = 2$

have something that says red line = impassable border to make it clear

love those 80's colors.

but why are their jets in north country, is there an air base up there?

Read the territory names Mibi.

Yes, San Diego is a big navy town. has a big navy base and marine airbase. See the movie Top Gun.

OK.

the first thing you have to change is the title...san diego, "america's finest city"? is that supposed to be a joke?

Instead of having the tourist attractions +1, as previously mentioned, you should make them hold 2, get 1, hold 3, get 2, etc., because if you start with 2 or 3, you have a major advantage.

You only get the extra unit in the territory. So, the extra unit is placed on the tourist attraction. It's like a card bonus for holding a territory. This way you have to take another turn to move the new unit.

No joke. It's the city moto.

I dont think this is possible with XML, I could be wrong tho.
