I'm thinking of making this map, sort of like an open rpg, but it's where your a shipowner w/ the intent to get rich, but you can pick a "team" to go on such as Pirate, Imperial, and Rebel, and I just want advice on how to get those teams to fight eachother, while still keeping it an open map..... (oh and I also plan on having a Ferry system). 
Here's my Template (srry for not putting it before)
TITLE: The Life Of A Pirate!
IDEAS:
-Ferry System
-PvP Combat
-3 Nation War
-Islands For Purchase/Capture
-Ships And Special Ships For Epic Combat!
-Missions From The Queen/Pirate Lord/Village Chief
PROGGRESS
TERRAIN:
-Several Empty Islands
-Islands W/ Evil Beasts For Bounty
-Pirate Hideouts And Caves
UNIT PLACEMENT:
-Guard Units For Caves/Palace/Village
-Randomly Placed Merchant/Raider Vessels
-Spawning Attack Locations To Symbolize War
TRIGGERS
-Unit Spawns
-Missions
-Side Select (In the beginning)
-(I'll Come Up With More Later)
SPECIFACATIONS
PLAYERS
-5 Player Map
-All Players Start Equal
MAP TILESET
-Basic Editor For Tiles
MAP SIZE
256x256 (I think this would work best)
STORYLINE
The Queen's Imperial Navy is tired of constantly losing to the Pirate Armada so they are commandeering every vessel they possibly can. The villages are tired of this so they launch a rebellion to overthrow the Queen and her Evil men. The Pirates merely sit back and get richer as both nations weaken themselves in petty feuds.
FEATURES
PLAYER INTERFACE
-The players have the freedom to do whatever they want, building a fleet to rule all, or merely sitting back as humble merchants. . .they can create an empire to rule of their own as well.
WHATS NEW
-Several Things such as the ability to pick a side and even change it w/ certain missions...
DETAILS
CHARACTERS
-The Pirate King:A shady figure whom none have ever crossed and lived, that is, except for the Queen.
-Queen Valentine:The self-proclaimed ruler of the land, she has a high taxation and would be considered a Dictator, were she not a woman!
-Village Chief Esper:A kind fellow who many (even the Queens noble) think should be the rightful ruler of the land.
You:A nice/terrible guy/girl who may change the fate of the land, or sit back and watch the show!
WEAPONS
-Ships w/ varrying strenght and prices.
-Henchmen who will serve w/o fail
-Different handheld weapons which change the unit of the character (can only be done in home)
ITEMS
-A pass which procclaims the character a merchant, signaling that no one will harm him/her when he/she is on runs
-A pirates bead which will let him/her pass through pirate territory unhindered
SPELLS
-None till I can get some more practice

I dont really see what "imperial" would be doing in a pirate map.
So read this also along with the template.

Imperial would be like Her Majestys Royal Navy. Seeing as how they controlled the seas during the high points of piracy!

Imperial = Imperial age. Around Late 1800's when Europe, Especially Britian took over other countries as colonies.

Really, you should add the template to this post.

I merely figured a handwritten one would make me seam a better person =]
but I've started the map and it is going to be forest map base w/ about 65% water terrain if you have any ideas for it (such as a spell system) they would be greatly appreciated!

It's really kinda difficult to read. Use the production template and give us more information on the map.

Okay, I'll do that when I get a chance, sorry about the mesiness
