No, see, that would again increase the borders of Serbia alone. I don't want to make Serbia harder to hold by itself. Besides you could still hold Trebinje and defend the 4 bonuses with 4 borders.
4 borders is acceptable I think - if you manage to conquer all that land, you're in a pretty strong position anyway. That's a +14 bonus for 4 borders, not counting the territory bonus, which makes it strong but not undefeatable - especially if the opposition holds Slovenia, Croatia & Bosnia - which makes for a +18 bonus (not counting territories) for 5 borders.
This is a pretty bonus-heavy map, but I like it that way - it makes for games where you can't just shoot blindly at your opposition, but have to work to secure and hold a bonus... and either way, it's not like it's easy to conquer all that land that would give you the large bonuses - you only get really large bonuses when you manage to hold multiple bonuses, thanks to the capital bonus. I'd like this map to function both as a team map and a multiplayer map, and I think the bonus-heaviness helps to accomplish that.
Anyway, beta will tell if this plays out the way I expect, but I have a pretty good feeling about this.
