The latest addition to the Conic Nomad series with an exaggerated projection of the real world with the landmasses thickened and merging the continents so that there is more interaction between players. Stretching was done in areas that emphasize strategic importance and relative population size. The projection is based on an equal-area conic projection centered on the north pole. It's not quite the same projection due to the rotation of the landmasses, but oh well. The teleport tiles at the top help represent world wrapping on the 2D plane.

New to this edition of the series are pipeseams in the tech tree area, allowing for an eventual capture of all the areas (albeit many turns after the start). Some COs will naturally tech faster, incentivizing certain picks and choices in the early game. There are also now ghosted ports to allow for canals between continents.

Objective:
Capture the most land mass before the timer expires, or, eliminate the competition!
In the non-play area (pipes), each player has an FTA counter and a tech-tree

FTA:
The 10 players are broken up into two brackets:
(P1 - P5): T-Copters are placed one space farther back to compensate for initial movement
(P6 - P10): T-copters get full range of movement to make up for any clogging and lack of initiative.


The tech tree provides two lanes of choices:
A. 1 comm towers OR
B. 3 cities OR
C. 1 Lab for lab units.

Rules:
0. Intended for High Funds, but Standard could work.
1. FFA, 5x teams of 2, 2x teams of 4
2. Capture properties OR route the enemies
4. Ban: Stealth, Black Bomb
5. Lab: megatank, Neotank, rockets, missiles, battleships, carriers, fighters, bombers, stealth fighters

Why the shoal between Italy and Spain? That isolates ships in the Mediterranean, except for transports
