FTA and 2(3) actions on first turn

[Szei]

By predeployed bonus space do you mean P2 starts with a captured wit space? If so this could work. It does bring up a new dynamic though which is not necessarily good or bad. Assuming players capture all possible bonus spaces on their first turn P1 will have 2-3 wits to spend elsewhere while P2 will have 3-4 (depending on the number of bonus spaces on the map). This sounds reasonable but the exact wit numbers aren't what I'm driving.

The new dynamic is the fact that P1 has to commit moving 2 units onto wit spaces whereas P2 only has to commit 1. Again, this isn't necessarily a bad thing, but it is something to consider. It harms P1's ability to establish as good position on turn 1, but that's kind of the point. The question is would it make P1 too vulnerable to P2?

I'm inclined to believe it would be okay but certainly this would require a fair amount of play-testing.
