No FTA (since everyone start with an infantry).

I recommend to implement a turn order of ABBA, starting with top left (A), bottom left (B),
bottom right (B) and top right (A). Then remove the infantry of top left and bottom right and let
bottom left and top right keep its infantry. that should balance things out.

I have no idea how to interpret AceVanCleef's recommendation. I think this is what he meant.

Remade the map entirely. This can be played Free-for-all, diplomacy, or teams. Each faction has an exploitable weakness.

The four corners are the Mortal Kings. They start with a nice mix of resources, but they rely somewhat on the cooperation of
their fellow mortal kings to keep power. Red has a minimal FTA penalty which can be negated somewhat using the 2
available Black Boats which encourages a less aggressive opening.

The Center (Noire Eclipse) is the Pirate Fortress. Very wealthy but not as powerful as he seems as most of his land can only
fund his naval army and little else. He has some shipwrecked units that, if ignored-- Can allow him to quietly expand his
power to the outer limits. My guess is most players will gang up on him because he's front and center, but he can also play
the role of peace keeper / mediator against the other major threats.

The North and Southern Winds. Ostensibly the gods of the air. They have the power to disrupt the balance of power, they can
help their respective hemispheres, or predate them. However, they are largely counter-balanced and kept in check by each
other. For if their opposing counterpart chooses to betray them (by stealing away their labs) they can be at a severe
disadvantage. (I reccomend labbing stealth bombers at minimum.) They can help their hemisphere, but they can also be
ganged up on fairly easily as their ability to defend themselves is actually very limited.
