Second, for $120, I do not expect to have to pay another $85 for a “special” Ptolus map that is BIG.  I expect a BIG map for a city the size of Ptolus to be included in the basic package.  The more readable Ptolus map, however, costs another $85 for an essentially laminated version, as I am given to understand. Third, I would have wanted more poster maps.  Blowups for particular areas of the city. Fourth, Ptolus is an “in for a penny, in for a pound product.”  It is so large it will take a good deal of time to fully digest, let alone use to it full $120 potential.  And because there is so much of it, that full potential will only be realized if you devote your game to Ptolus.  I can’t say I’ll do that to the tune of $120.  I would probably have swallowed this concern if Ptolus had come heavy with the poster maps - more of them and not double sided.I like what I see of Ptolus but I’m a map junky.  Best text and bad maps = bad game product, IMO.  YMMV and likely will.</blockquote>
