Yes, the raw number is not the point, it is balance between the added provinces verses England. The same revisions will have to go into place for Ireland and Scotland when we go there.
EVERY TIME there is a 1 income province England will claim it, war it, and win. All of them will be gone within a generation, unacceptably ahistorical. The increase in income is to balance England, which should not be able to steam-roll the other nations.
The arguments had always been that England was always overly strong, but the English camp did not want to reduce their incomes, so the Celtic Cressent was to be increased.
Had I not spoken up for Wales.... Wales would have remained an 11 without further consideration.
Reading through the thread you will see my initial request was for a higher number, between 20 and 26, for Wales, because I had then divided Wales basically into these provinces we have here and assigned numbers based off of Davies and other research.
This number is well within keeping of that research, does not effect England except cause them to wait a few generations longer before conquest, and we would have to revise Ireland and Scotland anyway!
EDIT: Wow, those conversations were 4 years ago and still valid today!
