In order to encourage players to take territory, I am creating region cards.  When a player takes a neutral territory in a region, they will gain a card that is specific to the region with the following benefits.

• Victory points at the end of the game.
• Will give +$2 during a turn for buying cards.
• Bonuses when combat occurs in the same region. Below are some possible region cards.

Also, I am switching back to a Early Modern Europe theme since it is a better fit for the region card mechanics.
