c) significant number of contiguous water provinces and a fair amount of chokepoints are considered favorable to strategically interesting MP play.

The problem is the entire map is made of single-line chokepoints. It's not interesting MP play when the only way you can progress towards an enemy capital is 4 different provinces in a row with no deviation. A small amount of choke points adds flavor, too many takes away choice. When you take away choice, the game becomes /less/ interesting.

Personally, I think this map is poop. I vastly prefer maps with lots of provinces connected together and a sprinkling of choke points. It makes for more interesting strategic decisions concerning moving armies, instead of this gar-bage (said as though french) where you just send your armies charging down a single file corridor.
