Clan Wars Map Changes in 9.1

Hypnotik: Training Area   In an effort to more clearly define an area for clans to learn and gain a foundation of experience to work from, we have made a few adjustments to the gold income of some provinces. The area in the Arctic Circle region received a decrease in total gold income, while the other region, North America, received an increase. There are still a few gold pots scattered around the Arctic Circle region, but there is now less incentive for the more experienced clans to hang around and beat up on the little guy.   The Arctic Circle - This area, which includes Greenland and the northern territories of Canada, is most suited to clans which are just starting out, or are trying to develop their skills in a competitive environment. You will see an occasional medium-income province, however the gold income is typically lower than the majority of the map.   Mexico/Central America/Caribbean - This area is a sort of middle ground between The Arctic Circle and the highest level. Clans that have built up experience and cohesion should have some success here, however due to the province layout and easy accessiblity of this region, it will be more difficult to hold large swathes of land here. The gold income is an improvement from The Arctic Circle, but not the highest on the map.   Mainland USA and Southern Canada - This is where the big guys will usually be playing. Being the highest income area, it is the most attractive region for clans with a thirst for Gold, and the difficulty of success will be much higher than normal.   For those familiar with the Clan Wars map when we were in Europe and Africa, the following comparisons may help: The Arctic Circle will play most similar to North Africa, the new provinces will be most similar to the Middle East and/or Scandinavia, and the Mainland US/Canada will continue to act most like the European continent.
