arcanum of steamworks and magick obscura

Hello, I am planning to work on a Arcanum mod when Hearts of Iron 4 comes out but I have a small problem. I only know what a small part of the world looks like! I am posting here to crowd-source ideas for a world map that players would be happy to fight a war over!

I was thinking of something like this (Non black area is water.)

What do you think? Does something like this look fun?

Well, an Arcanum mod is sure an interesting concept for HOI4.

Maybe the two continents on the left, separated by islands should be be further away from each other.
This way, you should have to control the islands to control a path for an invasion.

Hay thanks for the feedback, I have updated the map, what do you think?

Now I am also thinking about what factions could be in the game, Arcanum is about the fall of magic and rise of technology but I am thinking of having three factions, Democratic, Fascist and Scocalist like the base game but with a twist.

Democratic nations take 50 more days to research any Magic or Technology.

Fascist nations take 100 more days to research Technology but 30 less days to research Magic.

Socialist nations take 100 more days to research Magic but 30 less days to research Technology.

This could change things up and make an entertaining mix of strategy with Technology and Magic having there edges, things like Magic being more effective but Technology offering more overall tools and more factories.

You could also make Magic and Technological technologies mutually exclusive. Like doctrines.
