OK, I finally have the time to properly evaluate the game play of the map. Here's my opinion: I don't think it needs a sea route from Cornvall to Munster like pntbttr suggested. I also don't think that the mountains need to be extended like lucide suggested.
I do however think that the region that has just two territories should only be worth +1 not +2. and this opinion comes from experience having played the oregon cities map many times. This will need to get changed.
I also think that the mountains at the very bottom need to be removed. First, there are no mountains there, it is quite flat. (I realize that you know that there are no mountains there but didn't know of another way to make an impassable) and second, I think the game play would be better if that region had to defend 2 borders. Otherwise it will be way to easy to take over and control. It would be worse than Australia on the world map because all of the regions are in a line. you can start from Cornvall and work your way west protect your territories as you go. So either remove the mountains or make that region only +1.
The other mountains are also placed where there aren't any mountains although they are near the Cambrian mountains (more like hills to me). I am not picky about this I am just saying it so that people know that we knew that when we made the map. the mountains are there for gameplay/strategy purposes so if you are from there, please don't complain about there being mountains where there are no mountains.
+3 for the yellow region is fine. it has 3 borders to hold. In every map there will be regions that are worth the same bonus but one is easier to take and/or control than the other. this is because we can't give a 2.5 bonus. it's unavoidable.

she didn't give a reason why. NoXoN, I need you to respond to this.
I also need region names.
