You must be assigned to an `approved` issue — unsolicited PRs will be auto-closed. **Add approved & assigned issue number here:** Resolves #4259 ## Description: 2 Warship shaped islands next to each other. Trade ships and land attacks can go through the corners. This can be either a 2 teams or a ffa map. Size is 3000x1396 with 29% land. This will complete the 20th map for v32 before it releases in 2 days. There are 10 nations with 23 additional nations (with ai generated names). The nations are made up similarly to the ones in traders dream but they are piracy themed and theres also a meme "Evil island man" nation (rex reference) It is based on a meme when Ultimus-Rex says "warship warship" when deploying warships and now people spam "warship warship" in the comments, especially this user named @warshipwarship who comments warship warship on every video.
