Yeah, the NA is a bit unbalanced... but that's the problem when you base it on real geography... they couldn't of made it worth less, but there was no other ways to have invasion really.
Reminds me of the good old days, when we had over 6 people wanting to play at a time... so we made a giant Europeon map with different zones for 8-16 players....
and we never got more then 4 players at a time after it was done... making all that work worthless.
Also, since you brought up monopoly... I think it's worth noting that the Orange properties are actually the most valuable.

Yeah, I know. I've got this cool Monopoly book from 1974 or something that's really great. (Well, "valuable" is relative. Green is the awesomest to have hotels on, but it's so expensive you can't really do it without another monopoly funding you. Orange and Dark Blue are probably the best overall but Light Blue is the best on a budget.)
I played a game of it recently, and I wasn't doing too well. I got 2/3 of the Green, and 2/3 of the Orange, but both times the same guy took the last one. Then some bastard got the Boardwalk monopoly and started building it up, so I traded both of my Greens for the last Orange and $200. I was able to build some houses, but so was Mr. Boardwalk. But only one guy ever landed on him (going bankrupt).
And then right at the end of the game Boardwalk was in Just Visiting so I gambled all my money on hotels; he got a 12 and I was like DAMMIT and then he got "Go back 3 spaces" and I was like MUAHAHAHAHA!!!!! And then my Green buddy landed on another hotel and Boardwalk landed on the third hotel and that was pretty much the game.
P.S. As for your custom Risk board, that sounds pretty interesting. Any pictures?

No pictures sadly. If i remember correctly we based it off a map in the first PC game.
Had Europe, Northern Africa, The middle east... was good stuff.
I miss having people to play risk with... my fondest memory was probably of a 6 person game I won... mostly because someone else took ove North America, but then just stopped. They started playing isolationist... not really even ever attacking anyone... I don't know what he was thinking. I guess that he'd save up his forces and vulture in... but without getting cards he was screwed.
