Adjacency Championship

I'm interested in finding what territory has the most adjacencies in all of Vdip. Why? For fun.
If you find a new winner, please type in the Variant's name, the territory name, and it's terr-ID (this makes it easier to find).

I'll start

Macca573 (1517 )

Variant: Europa Renovatio
Territory name: Strait of Gibraltar (SOG)
Terr-ID: 723
Number of adjacencies: 38

I don't think anything is going to top SOG.

Variant: Classic - Ankara Crescent
Territory name: Gascony
Terr-ID: 50
Number of adjacencies: 45

That should be *44 adjacencies, actually.

Nice one!

Dawn of the Enlightenment has a bunch of provinces (high seas provinces, which are similar to but simpler than sea lane provinces) in the high 20's. I thought *that* was a ton. Dayyum!

On the other side of the coin, Conno and Corws in the variant Duo (terr-IDs 7 and 10 respectively) have only one adjacency each.

They're both SC centers, that seems like bad design.

If it becomes relevant, the game has probably already been decided.

@Macca573: Indeed. To improve things, there should be one more non-SC adjacency.

I have played the map quite a lot and I think that the design works pretty well. It makes you decide between taking a SC, build another unit and come back stronger or rather using the fleet in question to pressure the enemy.

I suppose it isn't as bad since it is a 1v1 map. The SC single adjacency is an issue when it lets you infinitely hold out to a draw.

I think that those centers were completely intentional and pretty good design. They provide an interesting decision to make. Generally I'd prefer rear fleet pressure but if you need to pick up a center then it's a trade you can make. I like it.

How about adjacency to only SC territories? WAP and UBS in A Modern Europe (variantID=136) are both adjacent to 8 SCs

If we're going by SC adjacencies, Strait of Gibraltar in Europa Renovatio is adjacent to 10 SCs.

For land provinces only, I found 7 SCs adjacent to Bavaria in Viking Diplomacy (variantID=63)

New Bedford (NBD) in Divided States also borders 7 SCs.

GOF in Europa Renovato borders 9 SCs.

CCR (1957 )

9: Nayman (mongolian) is SC and touches 8 SCs.

The territory of Mino in Sengoku borders seven SCs and is itself an SC.

Also, the Upper Baltic Sea territory in A Modern Europe borders 8 SCs.

Mongolian Empire

Just to nip this in the bud, this should be 100 years later than the start time (1320 start NOT 1230 start) and it should be 14th century on the map.

Other than that - looking forward to seeing how this plays out! :)
