Regarding the comment from Oaktown, perhaps you guys could make it more interesting and appealing by adding different types of territories or bonuses to it. Think about what makes Long Island, Long Island.
For example, the Hamptons are super ritzy, Jones Beach has concert venue, throw a famous lighthouse in there, something to that effect.
To me, the random tall ships with random (albeit fairly amusing) names really add very little. Maybe put in some more famous ships that have docked in Long Island. Or, instead of ALL ships, add ports that connect to ships.
If you want to make it more exciting, you could add some game play variants, such as giving the ships the ability to bombard territories.
Right now, the map is zoomed out and there is a lot of empty space, that is currently filled by the ships that add little. Instead, what if you zoomed in closer, and gave more detail to Long Island, since it is the focus of the map. You should have no problem adding territories, as I know there are 100,000,000 little hamlets out there.
Alternatively, leave it here, but add in the southern part of CT. Find out where the ferries run from CT to Long Island, and add those in.
If there is one thing I can think of Long Island as being famous for, its the terrible transportation problems it faces. Why don't you add in the LIE or Commuter Rail system. Check out the USA Map Pack to see how to add highway bonus territories to a normal map. Get the Ferries going. I don't know if MacArthur counts as a "real" airport, but perhaps add that in as a separate bonus.
Just some ideas. Sailor really pissed me off with his spamming of the earlier draft, then I stumbled across this, and it looks so much better. Also, I think Led has the right idea by actually listening to the Cartos and other feedback, maybe you guys can make this work. Best of luck.
thank you for your post, I will try changing the boats, to the kind of boats that you would see at the many yacht clubs. I was thinking about adding a highway through the island. A reason why it is zoomed out is because it gives me room for the writing. I may add some bombarding feature with either that airport u mensioned or the boats
