Sorry, I should have checked that. I found the post with grids again.

I think we should:
- Merge Sardinia for gameplay reasons. (It was historically never divided.)
- Värmland should go, it is historically/economically/strategically much less significant than several left-out Swedish provinces. Several Baltic sea zones are needed. Most crucial is to split the one totally encircling Denmark. (In vanilla this is four sea zones!!)
- Merge Corfu and Ionia and put back the sea zone removed from between Greece and Italy. Corfu actually belongs to the Ionian island group.
- Remove Nice, since they were not separated until 1793. Put back a sea zone in the Med. (This have also been suggested by Herr Doctor, YodaMaster, almoravid and Aegnor, page 57 of the other thread.)
- Remove Euboea. Modern Greece has swelled from 7 to 13, that will be a terrible burden of poor Christian land to OE.
- Merge the Principality of Achaea with Morea in Peleponnesos for the same reason. It only existed till 1432, and did nothing. By now Greece could be down to ten provinces, that's still a very large representation for this area.
Btw, isn't Peloponnesos a better name than Morea? Morea was just the name given by the crusaders, and having another name than Morea is also good since the Despotate of Morea was just the southern half.
