It seems you took most of the critisism I gave for your last version and applied it, and I'd say it looks great, now every third
base is properly obtained on its third turn, it seems none of them can be interupted by another player, as well as you
removed the port that could've base blocked BH on the tiny lake.
As well, got to commend you for adding a neutral base on the neutral island, really makes these bases have much more
value and promotes sea battles, seems like you took a page outta my book ;)

However, there is still a couple of problems that seem a bit clear...
It seems you made it so each country starts with 2 extra cities, and a port, however you have once again doomed BH, as
they don't get neither 3 cities nor 2 cities and a port, so they have once again a very big disadvantage.
And another thing is, you still kept the very closed chokepoints between players, specifically AB vs CI, BH vs BD, and to a
degree GS vs PL, and BM vs YC/PC.
What I'd do for these kind of situations, is try and have two paths to fight an oponent, one of them relatevely open (3 to 4
spaces wide) and another one can be sort of choky, so that players can use both directs and indirects.
An example I'd do, at 11,05, I'd extend the river 2 tiles up, and add a bridge at 11,05, then there is two ways GS and PL can
fight there.
Another thing, is in the sectionw ith BH and BD, you could change the corners of the rivers into shoals, which still look good
and provide a way to expand the terrain without just using bridges.

Also, the dock at 18,19, don't think it is a good idea to lock it with shoals like that, it prevents building ships, and a
submerged sub will be invincible there.

Think next version you might be able to get up to that 10/10, just fix the errors and make it not so choke, and it should be
good.
