Minimum Member Count (..or Factory Combinations)

This feature would give designers the ability to have the Player recognize combinations of members. A specific # territories from a given continent would be necessary for a continent/factory to fill.

The feature would require only two addition fields (I think): “Members Required” and “Exact/Overfill”.

Example 1: Goal: Holding any 5 of the the 10 North American Territories triggers a factory or bonus.
Combination: This would normally require 10C5 = 126 Factories, but could be accomplished with a single factory, “Members Required = 5” and “Overfill”

This may only seem like a time saver with small examples such as the above, but scale it up just a bit, and..

Example 2: Goal Holding
5 North American Territories yields a bonus of 1 6 “ ” “ ” “ ” “ 2

To get a factory to fill when any 13 of 25 given territories is held (I.e. 25C13) would require over 5 million factories.

Example 3: Holding 5 of the 10

Benefits and Features:

* Using the current system, because of overlap, Even if you did create the 126 or 5 million factories, the effects of the resulting bonus scale would make them untenable in the first place.
* The feature does not have to be limited to factories. Any continent type could be eligible, including the standard in-hand bonus type.
