Mock up of the hex territory map

I wouldn't be surprised if locking becomes implemented when more continents are released. Then they could introduce sanctuaries/permanent footholds to three of the original continents.

I don't want to see footholds for every empire on every continent, but if this was a temporary compromise, I probably would be okay with it.

I'd like to see some kind of empire wide reward for capturing a whole continent, that is awarded the moment you take the last territory on a map that has been heavily contested for more than x amount of hours with x amount of territory flips within that time. No real need to have a continent fully lock, but giving some kind of temporarily lasting reward would be nice.

Hopefully they have enough continents at launch that they can have at least one home continent per empire though.
