Is this happening/was done due to engine limitations? Or was a done intentionally?
How much of a bigger hit will my rig take with this enormous map?
I mean, I AM glad that we receive such a huge map that took months of hard work. But those new provinces (mostly the African ones) are things I will probably not even bother to look at during 90% of my playthroughs. Will we have the option to keep a European only map? Can it be modded in?
What is Clairvoyance Corner and where can I access it? Still unsure where to get this update.
Edit: Found it.

Also, did the disappearance of Shaytana ever get solved? He seemed to drop off the face of the earth. Alien abduction? Took the vows? Something more sinister/tragic?
True, but so is the Sahara. I put provinces there because it accessed an important region at the time. Even with the desert, the Tarim Basin was home to several city-states and was one of the main routes for the Silk Road.
If the desert were bigger, I would agree, but because the size of the impassable terrain would be quite small, it would mostly just serve as an awkward-looking barrier.
Updated the subforum with a link.
No. Everything has been resequenced. Only two province files shared the same name and number between this and the previous map.
I've also gone through and removed provinces that from a historical standpoint should not have been there to begin with. Sadly, one of those was the extra province in Tara Romaneasca; I looked at every map I could find involving Roman habitation of the region, and it seems the only division the Romans ever had in Ad Moesiam was split in two. Since Shay's Mithraic-Christians were not serving any real purpose and because the Mithraic-Christians had a high number of provinces anyway, I went with the other one.
Other than that, the provinces that have been added are: two new provinces in Sardinia, one new province near Tripolitania (island of Meninx, look closely, it's small), one new province on the island of Madeira, the Canaries have been split into three provinces, another province was added in Arabia, another province was added in Sakastan, and maybe more, I forget.
We cropped our map off of Umbra Spherae, whose map has a "stretched" point of view. While the stretching is indeed unrealistic, I would argue that other maps are also unrealistic in their Eurocentricism (especially vanilla's, to the point of making India lopsided just so Europe would appear straight). This one leans more towards the other side of the unrealism, favoring a global perspective over a specialized one. Ideally, an accurate map would have the features of the map outside of Europe and the features of the original map for Europe and the other associated areas featured in the original map. That being said, I just worked with what I was given.
At first, I thought it would be fine. It looks like it hits harder than I thought, but it still should be OK.
I don't know if someone else wants to undergo that task, but I'm not going to lay a finger on it. Maybe someone will keep the old map for those who want to omit the extra provinces, but to anyone who plays this map with the intention of overlooking/ignoring part of it is making a mistake. For one:
Doesn't look like that's possible. I think Aboisso is just a little confused; all the other republics are building near their home cities. But it's 100% possible for this to happen. In the same observe game, Bergen also started establishing competing trade posts in the Caspian as well.
For two, it's not unrealistic or irrelevant to include any of the regions that were included because the ancient world was not as disconnected as people tend to think. Contact and trade with India, China, and Africa were all possible and even routine enough to develop trade routes across the Indian Ocean and through Hindu Kush. The Portuguese were far from the first Europeans to make contact with the East Coast.
I understand the concern for your engine, and I hope it doesn't take too much of a toll, but I'm not going to undo anything I just did. Sorry.
I agree with Martellus. Definitely the desert.
Just my two cents after a Bactrian test.
The game runs smotthly for me and I did not have any CTDs. the only problem is that the leader of the Kataphraktoi comes from Africa
About the map :
-a province is disconnected from Eranshar but belongs to it ( in k_Azerbaidjan if I remember )
-Sindhia looks definitely too big on the de jure map. Especially for Gedrosia/Birjand which could be merged in a kingdom. Moreover it makes the Indian Empire de jure too much west IMO
- d_marakanda and d_birjand should be renamed since they have no relevance in this timeline. I personnaly went for the satrapy of Aria for Birjand ( Aria + Alexandria Areia in the duchy ) but it could be Arachosia too.
- religious sites for Indo-heleninc look a bit strange especially when no one is in India
Not really related but about this faith, the patron deities are the same as Hindu whereas there are some other gods mentionned in events ( Megas Alexandros,
Hephaistos-Agni ... )

Yes the Indo-Hellenic faiths need a tweak, agreed. I am now working on redefining their holy sites. I guess DR, who is working on the patron deities, can take care of the patron deities.
The patron deities for Indo-Hellenic are indeed done, and different, yes. I'm just waiting until I complete the Luwian ones and then I'll upload the whole thing.
My pet theory on Shaytana's disappearance is that he got caught up in the Greek anti-austerity riots that were occurring about then, but someone claims he was from Romania, so who knows. No one who posts here knows, or knows how to contact outside the forum (except Numahr had email correspondence, and I assume that address is not being responded to as well.) All we really know is he had a sudden attack of Real Life, and we can only hope it wasn't of the permanent variety.
I was also afraid he had some serious Real Life strike. Maybe he was cornered by Golden Dawn thugs. Maybe he got into Golden Dawn as a means to make this mod a reality. Maybe he's undercover.
Still, I prefer to think, like many of you, that he went into the Desert.
Golden Dawn are those Greek Fascist/Neo Nazi scum-bags right ?
That would be a sad fate for such a great mind, both bumping into or joining into those bigoted asses.
That's the Mythic Dawn.
That's the Mythic Dawn.
A custom-tailored de jure set-up is coming for every province. Please be patient, everyone, it's a big-ass time consuming project and it's going to take a while to get everything in the way it should be.
I lol'd.
From what I've played duchies are too big in the Bactrian area
marakanda got 6 or 7 and could be split between a d_baktra and a d_marakanda
Khiva too but well take your time, the map is awesome though these little things
I've noticed that Republics aren't using the Republican clothing; how did you manage this?
Of course, take your time.
Which is a relief, Carthaginians or Athenians dressed up like XVth Century feathered Borgias was a bit of a downer.

buddhist is in the list of Clerical Soul religions that get various buildings. Is there some reason pure buddhist was removed from the religions file, and are there any Clerical Soul religions that need to be added into the building list? For reference:
Code:
OR = { #Clerical-Soul Religions
religion = adoptionist
religion = almaqah
religion = apollinarist

}serindian has been removed from the cultures file. Is there any replacement or addition to the cultures that get horse archers and heavy cavalry as cultural buildings? For reference, here's the list of who gets the buildings at present:

culture = bulgar
culture = khazar
culture = turkish
culture = cuman
culture = pecheneg
culture = saka
culture = parthian
culture = hunnic
culture = uyghur
}bud_gandharan is no longer a valid religion, so the convert_to_spouse_gandharan_buddhist decision is no longer valid. I don't know what criteria governs which religions would attract converts from Traditional Soul rulers whose spouses had those religions, are there any new ones which should be added to the conversion_decisions file?
Are we going to import the below traits, or should the references to those traits just be removed? (I've been reporting this set for a while now.)
buddhist and bud_gandharan are also referenced in the slavery laws, as among the religions which will not take the decisions. Are there any additions to the list?
Three titular empire creation decisions are impacted by landed_title changes.
Three dynasties had serindian culture. They need a new culture:
Does religion actually work in dynasties?
Changed the dynasty ID of the narrator character for the startup events to remove a conflict, and removed several duplicate dynasties. I also moved a holder_scope block from is_valid to is_valid_title in the anti-king CB, and removed a duplicate name from the saka culture.
Did we ever have an endovelico_reformed religion? In any case, here's another list of religions that needs to be looked over for additions:
Are these from Your Personal Castle or home-grown, or what? Need localization.
