Nice. Cant believe I nevr playd with that. But then my messing with maximum maps might have factored in.

So, again, what you want is not possible except for extremely small maps. But one could make a "rumble area" or "king of the hill" kind of map, where there's an inner circle of about 20 provinces, all connected to each other so that their neighbor tables are full, and then you place connections from outside into the inner circle, so that people can send units into there, but you can't send stuff back to the nations' capitals. This would only make sense in some kind of VP setting, obviously.
