I would really like to see an 'islands map'.

Various flavors there of - if you work on another map.

Islands would be a good way to make fair starting conditions. Ie., each island would have 4 neighbors for example.

Also, it could ameliorate the usual water problem of too many land neighbors for each water province.

You could have a couple of 'holes' of deeper water, where water nations would start.

Finally, differnt versions could have a different number of provinces per island.

I'd suggest one version with 5 provinces per island. One with 9
(two provinces suitable for forts). And maybe 15 or so.

No similar maps exist. It would give incentive for people to play some of the lesser played water nations. It would give reason for land nations to get into water, and ease water nations transition to land perhaps.

Also, has little value in most games - this could rectify that.
You may wish to make the neighbors 3 neighbors links + one sailing link.

Anyway .02~!
