    I'd like to be able to have my players all start with the standard 3 units, but have the random neutrals start with 6 units.  Is there a way to do this now by setting initial unit counts by player?  If not how about a option under 'initial setup' for ''number of unit counts for neutral territories'.

    No, I think actually that initial unit counts by player breaks Neutrals even more (like each Neutral territory gets that amount rather than that amount spread out evenly to Neutral territories).

    Only way to do this is via Allocated Neutrals, which isn't very Random :p.  I like the suggestion!

    ditto this being a good idea.

    I'm a man.
    But I can change,
    if I have to,
    I guess...

    OK added to the feature list.

    Re: the bug about neutral counts going screwy when setting initial unit counts by player - is fixing this going to break any maps?

    I don't believe so.

    none that I know of, I think most board designers have worked around the bug to get the correct functionality.  With this suggestion, could there also be a setting for a fixed number of neutral territories randomly selected at the start of the game (a refinement of the low, medium, high settings currently).

    I would suggest the fixed number be separate from the Low/Medium/High setting of Neutral Territory Count (separate not refined).  The current setting is pretty clever in how it plays a role in distributing player territories evenly.

    Sorry, yes, that is what I meant, but didn't really articulate.  Thanks Yertle
