Maltese place names

[Therion]

There are some inaccuracies as far as Malta's place names are concerned. They all seem to be modern tourist-oriented places...

Sliema and San Ġiljan only emerged in the late 19th century. Sliema should definitely not be the medieval county capital! Gozo is an island. Birżebbuġa, Marsascala and Mġarr were small insignificant fishermen villages.

The county capital should be Mdina.

The city should be Rabat.

The bishopric is a bit tricky as Malta formed part of the See of Palermo but the cathedral in Mdina was dedicated to St Paul so San Pawl is fine.

The castles (apart from Mdina itself) should be Castrum Maris and Cittadella. There weren't any others.

Each county needs to have at least 8 possible settlements.

In that case we could use Borgo (the town adjoining the Castrum Maris), and two medieval parishes like Zurico and Nascario. These are definitely better than the current ones.

Each county needs to have at least 8 possible settlements.

That's a bit strict; there are loads of counties with far fewer. Off the top of my head, Herjedalen has a maximum of three holdings listed in landed_titles, and limited to two of those in-game. Only a very small minority of counties will have eight.

All counties should have 8 possible settlement-names, that is something different then them having 8 possible settlements.

Yes, it is:

Each county needs to have at least 8 possible settlements.

Sorry that my first post wasn't clear enough.

By the way, terrain should be hills not mountain.
