Option 1 is clearly the best option in my opinion.
That said, the inner two rings (2nd and 3rd bottom) as well as the outermost ring (Top) are all too small to fit double-digit armies as is supposed to be required of any new map.
Apparently the requirement is only single digit but the reality is that a double-digit army is necessary. I can't think of a single decent map that doesn't support double-digit armies in every territory.
|>All territories must be big enough to completely fit their army number. Often people's first instinct is to keep territories real-life sized, however this doesn't work well in WarLight's engine. Take, for example, Hawaii in the main Earth map. Hawaii is a very small island, but in the Earth map it's sized significantly larger so that it can fit the army number. In the map designer, you'll find a button labeled Show Example Armies. When clicking this, all territories must be big enough to fit the entire army number.
