Interesting. Once you find a good strategy you will win. Maybe increase the number of mines and airports, to get a better balance. Territory bonus can be more balanced. Overall a nice and challenging map.

Some weaknesses, but overall, I liked it.
I think the pirate ships negative bonus (-8) is way too strong.
I also think that the single-territory bonuses (oil and mines) are a bit higher than they need to be.
The other land bonuses are difficult to gain (many regions have a lot of territories, so bonus is not quickly captured), so games tend to become a struggle over those single income-generating territories.
Missing connections? - Ghorgol to Jokkinghaim Mines and also Peteria to Jokkinghaim Mines

Hmm. Maybe or maybe not. I like a high bonuses and the idea behind this map was a high "strategic resource bonuses" instead of focusing typical bonus areas. Pirates can give you high ocean control reward or destroy you, but maybe (-8) its too strong like you said.
The icons show where is the bonus, not that circle. I will do this kind of thing more clearly on my maps in the future. Thanks for the review/feedback!

I agree with Den-Sel. This map can also make you or break you just from the starting territories. If you get your picks you win otherwise you got a fight on your hands. This map made M of W Feb/2020 I don't know if I should give it a rating of 2 or 5 ! You got a 5.

bonuses are too large and small in units to be truly effective, the and then if you can control the water ways it is game over for anyone else.

Great map.
These pirates, airports and the oil / metal bonuses make it very special.
I love the pirates!

Fast playing smaller map.
The pirates and warships make an interesting feature.
(Best strat is to just avoid the ships/pirates IMO)
Played with 6 players and it ran smoothly.
Overall a good map.
