I was curious if anyone could elaborate on how the "Neutral Count" setting is set-up formula-wise. What's the difference between low, medium and high? I'm working on two large-number-of-territory boards and was curious as to where to put that setting. I want to work it out so that the minimum number of people does not start player 1 with a number-of-territory bonus. Does the formula take into account the number of players in the game?

Something along the lines of this combination

Low: num_neutrals = (territory_count / 2) / (num_players + 1)
Medium: num_neutrals = territory_count / (num_players + 1)
High: num_neutrals = territory_count * 2 / (num_players + 1)tom wrote: now it uses the neutral player count to balance the territories received by the other players so all players should receive the same number of territories if neutrals are turned on.

Sometimes I don't understand your posts until I turn my monitor upside down.

I made an on-line spreadsheet that accepts your number of territories and territory bonus as inputs and returns the starting scenario based on your neutral setting. It may be off some because I rounded in most cases, but I am thinking it will be close enough.

Hopefully it works and is helpful. Any comments let me know.
