Nice! I hate those bottle necks. There have been two games that I've played that I recall being long. One went to 299 rounds then ended, it had an island and a guy who left auto end on, refusing to flag out. I put auto end on, and after 299 rounds, I won since I had more land.

The other time was an hour glass shaped map. There were 3 of us, and they 2v1 on me. I had about 40% of the territories and them each 30%, but they were split on the bottom half of the hour glass and I had the entire top. They could attack one at a time because of the bottle neck. Eventually I got lucky enough times and overpowered them and took over the map after about 230 rounds.

216 rounds without shenanigans. Crazy.
