I'm a sucker for huge maps and this fits the bill nicely. I like the changes you have made, particularly the little nuances like adding the gold mines in the Westerlands and making the islands of the Stepping Stones relatively inaccessible.
A couple of other flavor changes you might consider:
- Negative bonuses for each territory in the Neck negated by a bonus for controlling the whole thing.
- Moving the access to the Iron Bank to the City of Braavos itself.
- Perhaps lessening the penalty for owning multiple seats on the Small Council. I like only being able to benefit from one bonus, but the excessive penalties make the AI play very stupidly.

Thank you for your review, I will consider your proposals. As for the Iron Bank, I made the city area larger than just the Braavos territory. So it's kinda still in the city. This is so that you can have the possibility to have 2 different players as Braavos and The Iron Bank.

On Limalia's Westeros, I usually bump the square castles up to +2 to boost the boats and coastal castles.
On this map, these defaults seem to make the boats and coastal castles too powerful (limited 2-game play sample size), but my initial instinct is to default the squares to +1 and the pentagons to +3.
Love the expansion into Bravos with the bank, newness of Freefolk expansion, and other nuances like the -10 entryway to Freefolk to bypass the wall.
Roads are also a great concept--some defaults that are more than +1 may be warranted.
The small council negatives should be expressed somewhere on the map proper for new players to the map.

Thank you for your review. I will put a small text next to the small council to notify players of the negative bonuses/penalties. Thank you

Would be better if a Shield Isles bonus was included. Aside from that, though, great map!

Fun start, but takes a long time to finish. Last dozen turns, I just put all my new men in one territory and ended up with over 50k soldiers doing nothing while I worked my way to the northwest edge. Probably didn't help that I didn't start with any thing in the north.

This is a big map, so of course it takes many turns. This map is purpose built for diplomacy/rp games. you can try ffa or team games on it, but that's not what it is made for. thank you for your review though.
