 </p><p>2.The Earth, being a sphere, and the map being flat means going off the right side bring you onto the left side, and vice-versa. ALL of the Pacific spaces at the left side of the map are merely place-holders, to show the connections. For example: the space that RP considers to be "WPA" [Western Pacific Ocean] is located on the right side of the map -- but there is a self-same "WPA" on the left side.
-</p><p>3.[[Imperial_Builds]] There are 2 kinds of SCs in Imperial 1841: Home Centers and Not-Home-Centers. Players may build in any unoccupied home center they own, be it one they started with, or one they captured. Realpolitik doesn't allow for this build rule, so it is currently set to allow building in any unoccupied, owned SC. The GM will have to monitor builds received to ensure builds only occur in home centers.

 </p><p>4.Direct movement between the Black Sea and the Aegean Sea is through Constantinople - like Denmark, ie you move BLA-CON, and next turn you move CON-AEG, and so forth. "Ownership" of Constantinople not required.</p>
