Personally I liked some of the older Islands. They were simple. London, England would not be simple. Simple island communities would be very small, with only a few houses around a village green. Port Royal would be more complex, but personally I think we don't need more complex, redone Islands. They've made bunched-up, dingy looking, crowded islands! I liked the old Port Royal. It had a small, simple town and the rest of it was green country-side. If not that, then perhaps a small merchant island. One Island they're missing is Hispaniola.

I like all the redone islands, and especially with them being complex and all, so Im on Disney's side in this.

I don't mind kingshead being redone, but it needs to stay giant like it is now.
Actually there is evidence. Were any of us expecting a cave redesign? NO! It suddenly appeared in one of their Developer diaries.
Now, why would caves of all the uncharted places get minimaps?
Keeping that in mind, why not those ugly boring forests eh? There is a definite need to redesign them, as they all look the same. If caves can get mini maps, then why not Forests, and even wild islands? The current wild islands are not likable. They only mostly consist of a beach and some other area ( like a forest or cave ) inside them. These places too don't have minimaps.

Now lets view the other islands. We have TWO MORE main islands.
The humongous Kingshead, and the small Cuba. Lets first do with Cuba.
Cuba in real life was a Spanish colony, and a vast country. All they could put was a beach and the Pantano river??? First things first, the Pantano River is actually supposed to be on Isla de Pelegostos, leaving nothing else left on Cuba if removed when Pelegostos come.... Now, out of this a large spanish colony can be put....
Finally Kingshead and your other views. I have to disagree with your view that they made the redesigned places smaller ( excluding to some extent Port Royal (. The new Tortuga and Padres is much bigger than its previous versions, and the Caves are much bigger than its predecessors.
Now, someone said they should reuse the current locations. I expected for the old caves, that the new locations to the caves would just be added to the ones...
and they completely redesigned it. The Catacombs I feel, is TEN times larger than the old one, I love it.
So, Kings. Kingshead is huge as it is, but if you look at it, it consists of a Large map of no use. The entire front grounds is just a large plot of land. I don't mind if they make such areas cramped up, and at the same time make us feel Kingshead is huge. With a redesign Kingshead will finally come to some Quest use, and I really want that to happen. Now, this place being one of the Main islands, with NO mini map, will surely be redesigned, I gave my explanation on that above, with not expecting Caves to have that fate. And also that, as I said, they will not add a mini map to current locations. So, these are my points...
