You think my provinces look square, you should see Roman, Byzantine and Ottoman Macedonia
Mad King James said:
OK... I didn't know they were square IRL. Well, then it's fine I suppose

They aren't particularly angular compared to the provinces in real life. The only thing I would change in that area would possibly be to extend Bosphorus province to the north to reach Varna province, as the Byzantine Empire did control that strip of coast in 1419. Gameplay wise, this might give the Byzantines a very slight advantage by giving them another province for their capital province to border, but as they are both Ottoman, I don't think it's going to matter all that much.
A quick question. Were there no settlements or outposts along the remaining section of the Quebec and Labrador coasts? it looks a bit odd to have that area bare of provinces.
Northern labrador is in the arctic circle.
As to the quebec cree, that area's pretty much tundra, I'm iffy if the caribou herds could support a city.

Either "Panama" or "Darien" would be a better name for your "Isthmus" province: as you know, "isthmus" is just the generic name for that type of geographical feature.
True, but I don't want to make any more changes until the map is finished unless the province in question is just plain wrong as opposed to merely incorrect.
looking great!
Is it far enough yet that you are able to give an ETA, or will that have to wait a while yet?

Well, I was curious just how extensive the Hudson's Bay Company's outpost networks were in those areas, and whether any such outposts merit a province or provinces.
From what I can discover, the only area that you have in the PTI at the moment that the HBC had a number of trading posts in is the east coast of James Bay. The original HBC post was at Charles Fort (now Waskaganish) and they had another important one at Eastmain. So perhaps you should add a new province along the east coast of James Bay. If you think this is excessive, could you at least extend Cree province to cover the area?
This is perhaps a concern that can wait until later, but under the current map setup...the Khazak horde will be at most, two provinces large, that doesn't seem so good for keeping them alive.
Garbon said:
Given the history of the Kazakh horde after 1650 (foreign domination followed by internal division and disintigration), is that necessarily a bad thing?
Demetrios said:
Yes it is. Otherwise they'll be eaten way before then. They currently are eaten by the Uzbeks and they have 4 provinces.
I am beginning to adapt current Southeast Asian events for the new map. I suggest others do the same.
Phillip V said:
Without province id's? Are you just filling them in with the names for now?
Well, as long as we're on NA...North Ontario could be renamed to Ojibwe, seeing as it encompasses much of the historical territories of the Ojibwe. Why is the 'Canata' province spelled with a 'C' and not a 'K'...I've never encountered the spelling of it with a 'C'...is there an native american dialect that it is spelt with a 'C'?Mad King James said:
Can you split 'Huron' into 'Huron' (north half) and 'Neutral' (southern half) with a more or less EU2 'straight' diagonal 'line' from about 2/3 of the way west of Lake Erie to Lake Huron?
And there's no province for Trois Rivieres. You could call such a province 'Montagnais'.
So...are modders just going to boost the #'s of colonists recieved to cover all the extra provinces? And will it take forever to walk an army across Europe?
Interesting questions. The latter question can be solved because one can edit the movement times across each province.CyBlack said:
As for the former, I am thinking that these extra colonial provinces will make colonizing less easy, which is good. I do not think that the human player, at least, does not need an artificial boost in colonists for the new map. As France, I easily colonized all the prime land I wanted in a short time without going naval or narrow-minded (my DP slider was still over to the Land side). Meanwhile, such prime colonial lands as the island of Hispaniola (ie Haiti+Dominican Rep) has 6 provinces. If you are working to colonize it all, and another country encroaches on one of the six provinces, you will actually have to fight for the whole island. It also will not be so easy to defend against an amphibious invasion as their are more coastal landing points, and it is hard to garrison them all.
Phillip V said:
IIRC the size-modifier only adds to movement-time, you cannot decrease it. This could be solved by adding movement-time on all other provinces, but that might have adverse effects on waging war.
Hi
Sorry my english.
Is first map in this topic the new map that is going to be in new AGCEEP-update?
I am new with this AGCEEP.
I write to "Scandinavian map" topic yesterday (i didnt know about this topic)about problems with last maps in that topic (specially: Kexholm, Far Karelia, Österbotten areas and that white area). Is it too late now?
Someone?
