I'm hesitant to suggest something here because I know basically nothing about map modding, but if CORE is going to be sticking with AOD it might be worth thinking about.
Would it be over-ambitious to clean up the map while maintaining the existing provinces - no new provinces(at least not initially), simply re-draw the map in a more aesthetic manner and perhaps slightly change province shapes and connections.
This would minimize the work needed with events - province ID's would all be the same, so apart from perhaps tweaking AI events where connections are changed there wouldn't be that much to do. I'm not sure if anything is on the table - I understand that switching to E3 or the DH map has a truly ridiculous number of issues of course, but there's got to be a bit of low hanging fruit when it comes to the existing map.
If anyone can point me to a thread of map modding that'd be helpful too.
