I will still definitely play it when it comes out, but the whole feeling is not like a map.
A map is a visual representation of an areaāa symbolic depiction highlighting relationships between elements of that space such as objects, regions, and themes.

I like the idea, but there's no Roman Numeral for 0...

Poor Julia, she was so abused...

But Julia the Elder ( I assume you're talking about her for +6) had three marriages....if you give her +5 with all those children, that will make her +7 with her two other husbands.....
and what about Agrippina and Germanicus....6 children....does that union need to change to +5 if Julia's union has 5 children for +5 ?

But that would be an extra border, which probably warrants an extra army as a bonus. Actually, come to think of it, every territory in those continents can be attacked, so Julia+Agrippa could even be a 6.and what about Agrippina and Germanicus....6 children....does that union need to change to +5 if Julia's union has 5 children for +5 ?
No, because Livia can't bombard their children.
Actually, I think that should be a +3, because you can actually hold all of their children and grandchildren with just Agrippina, Germanicus, and Caligula for an overall bonus of +5.

Merry xmas, cairns! Hopefully it's warmer there than it is here (my mom's place in connecticut, somewhere in the 20's fahrenheit, freezing my ass off)
