It is. But I was talking solely about map design not about gameplay philosophy.
I mean, I am currently planning to start playing on BT and just looking at it I can say that it has some very unfortunate design flaws. Like I can't see myself joining Riombara because it was by design destined to geopolitical boredom, although I am sure it has lots of great players there. Northern part is designed well though and I can see most intrigue happening there.
Dwilight "sausage" shape could use a massive tweak as well.I agree. But I would like not being at war with most other nations being achieved by diplomacy and intrigue, not just by being situated out of everyone's reach or behind a bottleneck.
Perhaps I misunderstand what you are saying here, but none of this, aside from the the shape of Dwilight is "designed"... I think that it is well within the power of us players to change these things (again, aside from the shape of Dwilight).
