I think it looks great and captures the feel (at least in the mind's eye) of the period. Also, nice addition by adding relevant icons to the buttons on the lower left corner of the map.

actually someting of Constantinopel would be nice
..even if GC start would be nicer
Could Castellon be a currently vacant county? In other words, it's dynasty died out and no other has inherited it. I imagine it happens and would perhaps allow for a little warfare over who's fief it really is. This leads me to wonder what happens if two Houses have equal claims on a country after its line dies out.

Don't think so. It's most likely just a country whose shield has not yet been completed. Plus, I don't think there's any such thing as a "vacant country". If the main line of a dynasty dies out, there's always a more distant line to inherit it. I believe the warfare comes into play most often when there are two (or more) of those distant lines to claim the throne.
Hmm, well, it seems like a dynasty really could die out. Were the Carolingians related to the Merovingians? I don't believe so. I'm under the impression the Carolingians were Mayors of the Palace....sort of stewards supplanting the king.
What happens if two lines have equal claims though? How does would the game adjudicate control initially?

Isn't that a bit before the game's time period, though?
This is yet another question we can't really answer until we get more information from Paradox. I assume this sort of thing would eventually lead to warfare, but I don't really know the mechanisms that have been put in place in the game.
What I don't understand is why the screen hasn't been added to the screeshot thread here in the forum. Is this forum really that obscure?
The black border in the first screenie looks much better than the red border in the second... *Hopes the red border is experimental.*
the first link (Patric) does not work - seems that it has been moved to http://www.paradoxplaza.com/crusaderkings.asp

This raises another question, can new dynasties get created by promotion from the minor nobility? Looking at the sizes of the provinces the 1066 holdings of the future kings of Scotland, the Stewarts (ne Fitzalans), Bruces and Balliols all look to be too small to be representable.
The only thing I dislike is the bright red border.
I love everything else though.
And the 'crushing weapons, slashing weapons' etc, looks particularly interesting!
There also seems to be a lake that isn't colored in yet.

My interest is piqued as well with the weaponry. From what I thought that I understood of the game, most of your forces would be via your vassals sending them to you. I suppose this screen would be for only your personal forces, not the entire army?Damocles said:

I think thats related to the list of equipment held by the troops.. which means that for new troops to activate you may need to have researched their partticular armors and weapons.. maybe tactics too
Which leaves me to wonder.. how fast can you rush towards Muskets/cannons?
That is, if you really, really, put your mind to it.. half a century before ETA?
What I dont like is the color of the mini map. Grey/bright blue for land and brown for sea looks quite irritating.

So what should be done about them?
If i was the artdude, id try with thinner and maybe paler lines and see how it looks
