NOBODY* is interested in Akavir, it just too big of a hassle to delete it. Basically, it's just there.

*Well, maybe a few people will try out new Akavir...

Ha ha, yeah, I don't like Akavir either. I know there was a submod a while back that removed Akavir and had some other options to delete the extra continents although I'm not sure if it still works.

I'm still baffled that Akavir became a priority before the main setting of the game was fully fleshed out. I can understand why they would want to do the map before more bookmarks are done though, even if I have no interest in the secondary landmasses.

Bookmarks seem like they'd take the most time to work on overall to me. What work writing history. . Making sure certain world flags where in effect and then defining borders for each main title holder. If the map isn't even finalized before adding the bookmarks then all the drudgery of doing it the first time has got to be redone the next. Or else you get weird ROI like changes

Yeah same, I would have been completely content with a tamriel only map. Yokuda, Pyandonea, and Atmora are nice additions. Anything beyond that is superfluous, but I say that with no interest of playing anything outside of tamriel.

Edit: Akavir could be modeled as a sunset/mongol invasion type of mechanic, instead of an actual place.

That's because it's easier to just get the map done, now, instead of slowly piecemeal adding in new landmasses. I'd rather the devs get the map done, history filled out, and then work on bookmarks and fleshing out mechanics.

Underlined for emphasis, but that's pretty much the nail on the head. Akavir factors in for multiple future bookmarks. If we didn't use it, those bookmarks would be majorly underwhelming. Adding Akavir now means that the stage is set for future bookmarks having superior content (i.e. the Tamrielic Invasion of Akavir). But it also means that we don't have to undergo the extremely painful process that would be adding Akavir even further down the line.

And right now, the majority of Akavir is filled out. I'm waiting on a couple of things before I can do the dev diaries for the work that I've completed, but stay tuned on that.

That bookmark would be incredibly underwhelming anyway considering they only took like three cities before being wiped out basically 'cause 'Akavir is mysterious hurr.'

This is CKII, where a lot of the problems that screwed over the Empire's invasion force don't really happen. You can easily send a massive army over instead of just a portion of them, a storm won't wipe out a good chunk of the ships you use to transport them, you'll have perfect intelligence since you can see the entire map and who owns what, excessive droughts won't cause your men to starve from lack of supplies, etc.

The Empire lost, but that doesn't mean that you (playing as the Empire) must lose. The individual bookmarks follow ES history but everything that happens after you press the start button is anyone's guess. For example, it's canon that Durcorach the Black Drake got killed by the Breton coalition and lost most of his army in the process, but that isn't necessarily the case in any given playthrough on the Reachmen bookmark.

Confirmed starting a CK2 game causes a dragon break.

Well what exactly is needed to be done?
I have some experience in messing with Ck2's files so I may try to join.
I think most of what needs to be done is related to history, although most of the history is complete. But if you'd like to join up and contribute, you're certainly welcome to do so.
