[Septimius Severus]

Good to see the enthusiam.

I wouldn't really have any place to add any more sea provinces sufficently in a balanced way that would not obstruct the land game or inhibit the AI other than the possible exception of 4 provinces added to the N,S,E,W edges of the map near the center. Even there it is a bit obstructing but is limited at least. Currently the 5 sea provinces are each worth 1 VP. Wouldn't want to increase this due to the obvious bias.

Freshwater tag, I've got no problem with adding some of that. If DrP, Ano, and my replacement (if I get one) don't mind. Same holds true for border to mountain mask.

Currently 5 underground lake provinces. All surrounding provinces would be coastal, didn't count em, 10-20 or so, meaning recruitment of amphibious national units (for R'lyeh this would mean the recruitment of Hybrid Lord, Hybrid trooper, Hybrid Soldier, and Star Children) if a fort is built in any of them, plus the possibility of amphibious poptypes (indies) in those provinces.

If R'lyeh is used, their cap would be the sixth province, meaning all surrounding provinces would be coastal. If the cap is connected to the nearest corner lake, it means R'lyeh would also have the ability to move its aquatic only units to any other corner of the map (through the merc) thus giving it far greater range than any other nation and the potential to strike into the heart of an enemy camp. A rear/contributory position might be more suitable for them though, depends on what the captain wants to do.
