All populations have been spread across their respective expanded provinces, to keep population in line with vanilla. This may weaken some of the one province minors, like Achaea and Aetolia, but these nations have been given a higher proportion compared to their neighbours.
Province history has also been updated, to show the ebbs and flows of the respective nations throught the time period of the game. Some tweaking may still be required but there shouldnt be any significant historical anomalies. Click foward in the time period and see the Achaen League dominating the Peloponnese or Rhodes at its peak spanning from Crete to Asia Minor.
Greece and Crete:
1)The Peloponnese has been split into the major regions of ancient times. After the defeats of Sparta by Thebes and Macedon throughout the 4th century BC, it is crippled without its control of Messenia. After being a battleground for the Diadochi, tyrants now abound throughout the Peloponnese and the fledgling Achaen League lies hidden along the Corinithian Gulf.
2)Crete has been broken down into four powers to try and represent the disjointed state of affairs on the island in the Hellenic era (and throughout ancient times).
3)Macedon suffers as Antigonus Gonates and Ptolemy Keranous battle it out for the throne. Gonates hanging onto the slim pickings left over from his grandfather and father, has control of the "Fetters of Greece", Demtrias, Etreria and Corinth.
4) The Aegean is dominated by the Ptolemiac Kingdom. They have control of the Dodacense Island chain and indirectly control the Cyclades through the Nesiotic League.
Sicily and Rhegium:
1) Former mercenaries of Agathocles, the tyrant king of Sicily, the Marmertimes massacred the males of Messene and set themsleves up as rulers under their leader Kion.
2) After being defeated by the Carthaginians, Hicetas the ruler of Syracuse is not under attack from within by his rival Theonon and without from Sosistratos the tyrant of Akragas (ruler of thirty towns). Sensing weakness the Cartahginians are on the warpath and attempting to crush the greeks once and for all.
3) At the toe of Italy, Decius a Campnain legionary commander, has rebelled from Rome and following the lead of the Marmertines across the straits, massacred the male population of Rhegium and set himself up as tyrant.
Norhern Greece, Thracia and Bosphorus:
1) After the ruthless and bloody takeover of Macedon by Ptolemy Keraunos, Apollodorus of Cassandria has declared himself tyrant in Chalcidace
2) A huge band of gauls have appeared in the north, poised to descend on greece and barbarians threaten Lysmachia in the Chersonesus.
3) After suffering under tyrants and kings for many years, the city of Hereclia Pontica in the Black Sea has become independent and united with Chalcedon. They have formed a "Northern Alliance" with the people of Byzantium.
Red Sea and the Canal of Darius modifier:
1) Sorry my Suez Canal is no longer working. I developed it well over a year ago but something has changed in the game mechanics which is stopping it. So no "transferring" ships between the Red Sea and the Mediterranean Sea
