				 Re: What are the best maps? 
 Pasha's maps are always top notch.  Dawgbiscuit is good for 2-4 players.  Bering is for 7.  Alexandria, Asia Twist, and Greece Stain are good for larger games (Greece Stain is 20 players, I can't remember what the other two are designed for).
 World of Symmetry/Geometry are favored maps if only because they guarantee some sort of balance.
 
 In general, you want these things:
 * set starting points
 * wrap around
 * fully connected ocean
 * balance of open areas and chokepoints
