After long time (since "Art of War"), developers again pay attention to the Russian region.
In the first 1.16 dev diary was represented a map with new borders and a couple of new provinces. It was good, but on closer examination there is not much changed.
Then I took on the responsibility to improve this map a little.
The red dot on the map is the approximate position of the province capital. Number is the item from the list below.
1. Velikiye Luki (rus.: Великие Луки).
Located exactly where now the in-game Kholm. Strategic fortress to protect from Lithuania, also played important role during Livonian War.
In 1444 belongs to Novgorod. The province can be called just "Luki" with a capital "Velikiye Luki".
2. Kholm (rus.: Холм).
Already on the map, but its capital should be up north by the Lovat river.
3. Vyazma (rus.: Вязьма)
Big town on the trade route from Moscow to Europe. Due to its location was part of the claims of Lithuania and Moscow.
Later town was fortified against Commonwealth raids.
In 1444 belongs to Lithuania.
4. Rostov (rus.: Ростов).
One of the oldest Russian cities, important religion and craft center. Had significant fortifications.
In 1444 belongs to Moscow.
5. Totma (rus.: Тотьма)
Located between Vologda and Ustyug. In the game timeline, one of the most prosperous towns of the Russian North, due to the trade and to the salt production.
In 1444 belongs to Moscow.
Additional changes in Russian region:
1. Pronsk (rus.: Пронск)
Prospeuros city, that along with Pereslavl-Ryazansky was one of most important center of Ryazan principality.
In 1444 belongs to Ryazan.
2. Yelets (rus.: Елец)
Rename province instead of Lipetsk that was founded in 1703. Border town, not once exposed to the raids of nomads. Timur sacked it in 1395, and the tatars devastated it in 1414, but town always rebuilt. In 1595 become a fortress.
In 1444 belongs to Golden Horde, but there must be russian (or ryazanian
) culture and a core of Ryazan.
3. Kashin (rus.: Кашин)
Significant trade and craft center of the Tver principality. The city minted its own coins, was famous for its dyes.
In 1444 belongs to Tver.
4. Ustyuzhna (rus.: Устюжна)
One of most important center (along with Tula) of iron processing and gun smithing in Russia. Another name of the city is Iron Ustyug (Железный Устюг).
In 1444 belongs to Moscow.
These cities on the map:
If anyone wants to, it can look for these cities on the Mercator map.
(Another good map of the Eastern Europe)
I believe that these changes of the Russian region will make the map a bit detailed and nice. And devs will not need to come back to this later.
