Since all Borderlands and the EB are visible when you visit one of them, I can’t help thinking they are somehow related more than just through some Asura gates. Do the events in the Borderlands affect the EB and vice versa or does not such relation exist?

There is nothing that ties the maps together. Taking a point on any map does not effect any other. (other than maybe how your enemies play against you)

Map pressure definitely exists, although that is a more strategic relationship than an environmental one.

If you put enough pressure in another map, especially a server’s home BL, it makes them leave enemy BLs in order to counter it (when maps aren’t full, which is basically the current state of the game). EBG is sort of its own island, however, because it is the purest form of a 3-way battle and has the most potential points for your server since it has half of your server’s default towers in addition to SM so servers won’t leave it to defend elsewhere. Your home BL has 2 starting towers, garrison, and 3 native supply camps making it the second most important map. Often, it is more important to place pressure in another map in order to shift the balance of power and numbers on the one you are playing on.
