<p>the more <strong>conservative approach</strong> is to just assume they meant the western extra panel to be used and keep the tokens as they were.

@Pacerier it's a visit counter, they were very common in the web 1.0 days, and I grow fond of it.

<p>Our group plays regularly with 9 players.  We add a Hittite empire using the orange Asia tokens starting in the small 1'er space in the middle east (Jerusalem?).  This empire uses the Asia AST and has a "start location" for barbarian hordes of the two large 1'er spaces of the Arabian desert.</p>

While I don't know any, you can easily figure it out and try if that works.

Official rules state:

```
pla  pan  tok
9    -   
8    4/5  47
7    4/5  55
6    4    55
5    3w   47
4    2e+  55
3    2w-  47

```

(players, panels, tokens)

I find it odd it allows 7 and 8 players to play with either 4 or 5 panels without varying the amount of token to use. I read it "you *must* use it, but we have to provide rules to allow you to play even if you don't have it".

Assumed that, there are two ways to amend it.

9    6    55

```

the more **conservative approach** is to just assume they meant the western extra panel to be used and keep the tokens as they were.
