Strategy Gamers will be adding a new featured named Overlapping Regions. It will not appear as an option on the Create Game page but rather is tied to individual maps. This feature would allow, for example, Iceland to be part of Europe and North America at the same time. I like the idea of this feature because it changes the dynamic a bit by having players vie for the same areas in order to control distinct regions. Rather than players simply coalescing their forces to gain an region and protect it at the borders, those same borders may be equally desired parts of another players targeted region. I expect that this will make game play more aggressive.
The first map to be outfitted with overlapping regions is the new Spring map. The semi-circle portions of the flower overlap and make a good test case.
