Map: document explicitly that initial regions are immutable.
Chris Boyle reports that a few users of the Android port were confused by this, e.g. https://github.com/chrisboyle/sgtpuzzles/issues/624 . (That seems surprising to me, since I view Map as extremely closely related to Solo - both are special cases of the general game class 'here is a partial k-colouring of a graph, find the unique total k-colouring that extends it', just with different ranges of k and different valid graphs. And surely nobody approaches a Sudoku puzzle and expects to be able to rub out provided clues they don't like! But I suppose if you're thinking of Map as a completely separate puzzle then perhaps that analogy doesn't have the same force.)
