1. I think that's more needed than anything else, because it feels like you could impact something greatly and there's little overall change - as it stands, Esshar also feels incredibly static, and any move left or right is more difficult to do than it was in Spires. That being said, I want more direct consequences for each raid, so it doesn't become the endless cycle of Jianghu again, i.e "5 or so players survived, month later it's big faction again". Please, not this again. If you're done, you're done.
2. Rather than making map smaller, I'd rather see more special stuff on each portion of the map, or them being given a purpose. I like big maps that have different areas with interesting content - I don't like maps that are big but have no content.
3. So long as it's not going to become abusable and people trying their best to metabuild as much as possible. Probably limit it to once per 5 or even 10 IC years of a character - if not lifetime limits at all.
4. I think custom building back would be good, HOWEVER these have to be given via admin perms (like it was passable at late spires), just to prevent ugly structures. If you want to fill small niche with cute, interesting content? I'd support you. If you want to plop down just random hut in the middle of nowhere? Go away.
5. If you want more leaders to "spread out" in different directions like this, it's only possible if you empower them in any way possible (which is what your post states), however I don't think that should be resembled in hiddens or any combat power. Maybe cool IC stuff, or something thematic (if admins find it interesting), or any IC fluff - but please, no instant powers of rather powerful hiddens. That actually creates a dangerous zone of being suddenly killed by someone who received such powerup out of nowhere - and it will definitely lead to a lot of salt.
These are my thoughts about all of this, at least.
