map is fine in general but i find it hard for income to fluctuate.
see examples:
https://awbw.amarriner.com/game.php?games_id=1477251
https://awbw.amarriner.com/game.php?games_id=1477115
from these examples, it's clear the only "contested" props are 14,00 port and 12,02 city (to some extent) but once you got
them it's very hard to flip, which leads to a mid game where both players just brawl with 20k (equal) income until one
commits tactical mistakes.

The obvious suggestion for changes is definitely something to do with the contested props (one or more of these):
-slow down movements from the defending side
-make defending contested props more committal, which makes it hard to frontshift to the middle. for example maybe block
09,13 and add forest on 11,14
-move forward 10,12 and 07,15 forward one tile to 09,12 and 06,15, respectively.

And maybe remove one of the airports to introduce more unit count imbalance on one side of the map, which could help
