I don't know anything about it, but the FF had Toulouse and Montpellier as owned by Foix-Bearn.
That would be a bad idea...

Ambassador said:
in your map, Avesnois should better be given to Burgundy, to represent the country of Rethel early on, rather than to Brabant as part of the county of Hainaut.
agreed, unless we end up using Hainault at gamestart.

renaud vibien said:
The count of Rethel was not the duke of Burgundy but one of his cousin. It's the same situation that Brabant so it's a better approximation to give the province to Brabant because it's in the same relation to Burgundy.
Since Philip II Count of Nevers and Rethel was the son of Philip II Duke of Burgundy, and it was through the former's progeny that the counties and titles were inherited, it seems more logical to interpret Rethel (and Nevers) as Burgundian.

renaud vibien said:
The county of Nevers was not part of the Burgundian State. It was a french fief whom the count (a cousin of the duke of Burgundy) was allied to the Burgundian state until 1464 and to the French state after.
Nevers is as much a fief of France as the county of bourgogne is though. At gamestart, the count of Nevers is the son of the youngest son of Philip II Duke of Burgundy. I agree that Nevers should be interpreted as Burgundian at gamestart.

renaud vibien said:
If we have a Nivernais province, it's owned by Burgundy from 1419 to 1464 and is inherited by event by France in 1464.
Well, if Nevers isn't the only county in our EU2 province, then we could perhaps put it into more context and represent John's alienation as revoltrisk and less tax value.

renaud vibien said:
There is three reason to separate Troyes from Auxerre :
- The county of Auxerre was given de jure by Bedford to Philipp the Good in 1424 and the county of Champagne in 1429.
- In 1429, Charles VII taked Troyes but not Auxerre. After that until the death of Charles the Rash in 1477, Auxerre stayed in burgundian hands.
- The map is for a game 1419-1820. From 1477 to 1791 Troyes was part of the Province of Champagne and Auxerre of the Province of Bourgogne.
The third one is the decider here. The first two are really only one reason which is invalidated by the fact that with the current Auxerrois sitatuaion, we'd still get a homologous problem when John supports Louis XI rather than his Duke and cousin as you pointed out.

Here's something that's more or less what's already out there: County of Nevers, Auxerre, and Tonnerre lumped together and labelled either Auxerrois or Nivernais (or Nevers, whatever you want), then we split Champagne into 2, as has been done, leave their names as they are (which is really bad IMO -- there's gotta be some other suggestion out there), but we alter the border of these three provinces to make them look better and to better represent the situation between ENG and BUR. :D

We could play around with the Auxerrois-Bourgogne border to your heart's content...

Foix-Bear (later Foix-Béarn-Navarre) had one at a lesser degree than the dukes of Burgundy and Britanny but at a far greater degree than Armagnac, Orleans or Bourbon.
Orleans is admittedly weak, but currently I would not place Armagnac and Bourbon in a different boat than Foix.

renaud vibien said:
But Normandy neither revolted in EU2 times with the objectives of becoming independent
If Foix ownes the Langedoc at gamestart, we will have no choice but to grant Normandy independence at gamestart as a vassal of ENG. The de facto arrangement in Normandy at gamestart with respect to England already warrants independence, IMHO.

renaud vibien said:
The dauphin Charles came in person in Languedoc to demote him and he didn't dare to resist. So the best model of this situation is to have Toulouse and Montpellier owned by Foix-Béarn (but without core on it) and to have events where Dauphiné/Armagnac Party can inherit them.
I disagree, this opens up a can of worms in the world of Lieutenant-Generals, Captain-Generals, governors, etc. The Duke of Burgundy's governors in the lowlands, for example, Warwick, York and Somerset successively in Normandy, and more so with Huntingdon and Gloucester in Guyenne - all had more authority and responsibilities than Foix had as a Lieutenant-General in Languedoc. Foix's abuses of his appointment should be modelled with events, IMO.

The southwestern theatre is quite exciting though, and increasing the number players in this region (adding Armagnac for exmaple) makes things amore interesting. I agree that events need to be scripted to model the developments along the marches. We could free Guyenne at gamestart, for de facto reasons; the authority given to the Lieutenant-Generals in Guyenne included financial, judicial, and diplomatic carte-blanche. Her Lieutenant's negotiated truces with her neighbours and indeed even Charles VII, IIRC. This region was very quiet for large periods of time for these reasons (whether or not there were more distal reasons for peace between Guyenne and her immediate French neighbours and Charles himself is irrelevant for the argument, the point is the authority is there).

Ambassador said:
I know, but a province doesn't have to represent the same thing along the 400 years
Agreed.
renaud vibien said:
I desagree with you on this subject. I think the name of the province and of his city is relevant...
If a province needs to be bent and twisted slightly one way or another in order to better represent a certain situation in a given time period (or another) then this helps us make use of thw limitations of province-based maps in general. As long as the framework for each situation is understood and agreed upon in the regional thread, then awesome. Keeping province interpretations rigid for all provinces throughout the entirey of the game is simply begging for unhappiness all around, because no one person or even a group of people at this formative time is going to be able to come up with all of the potential uses for 400 years of gameplay ;)

Ambassador said:
Might be. Provence would have a hard time keeping Bar, but it would open more possibilities for the Anjou/Lorraine sequence.
Would be nice.

renaud vibien said:
...is "Artois" province really Artois or Hainaut ?
It wouldn't matter as long as we understood (and made it understood) which interpretation suited which time period best. Artois's province interpretation was argued in the first few pages of the Holland thread, IIRC, MKJ sought a more flexible framework.
 
I'll answer only where I deem there's a problem.

Properly, the county of Burgundy is Franche-Comté, and is imperial fief, not french. It's the duchy that is a french fief. And I stress the word fief : it wasn't an appanage.

We had proposed North and South Champagne, but this was rejected. The split of the province is for gameplay and gamebalance, mostly : historically, there wasn't a clear-cut split of the province. Hence the lack of better name.

The situation of Normandy and Foix is different. Foix already merits its independence due to the Navarre sequence. Normandy would be useful only during the HYW. NRM wasn't even remotely independent during the english rule either, while Foix-Bearn were not fully faithful to the Dauphin.

Not the same. Foix was much more independent than the governors that were appointed from other families, be it in France, Burgundy or England. The other governor-like didn't forget who their master was. Since Foix should already be independent, better use it to represent the situation.

Guyenne's LG wasn't an already important vassal by itself before being appointed LG. That's a difference.
Armagnacs were the Dauphin's party. They can't be a separate country, unless the Dauphin rejected them (but then, the Dauphin would have lost all his supporters). And Orleans and Bourgon were a part of the Armagnac party. In fact, it'd be better if the Dauphin country is called Armagnac instead, in the historical situations.
 
@ Garbon : why not use the accentuated forms on the map, and the ordinary letters in province.csv ? In-game searches use the names from province.csv as basis, not what is depicted on the map. As long as it is made clear (perhaps on the AGCEEP website), the correct forms could be used for the map and all players would be able to make their searches, be them in-game or in Google.
 
Ribbon said:

I'm not doing day two of this. If you look, that has already been suggested. This is all have to say about this cosmetic issue for the time being.

It's absolutly not a cosmetic issue, you know...

It's just an accuracy issue.

Will the AGCEEP map look like it is correct, or will it look like it was written by an illiterate"?

OK. It's fine with me. The mod use local toponymes but anglicized (= without acccents and other diacritic signs) because the mod is in english. It's logical.

I'm sorry I have misunderstood you're position. I believed that you wanted more radical changes.

But the province was in the Empire for most of the game. Shouldn't it be "Mosel"? :)
Don't confound Empire and Deutchland. The greater part of the province was speaking a Welche dialect, not a deutch one. OK, I see you was keeding.

"Ile de France" is completely different from "Trois Eveches" IMHO. "Ile de France" is standard English usage. In an English language book the "Trois Eveches" will usually be referred to as the "Three Bishoprics"
Ok. But Garbon seems to accept "Trois Eveches" but not "Three Bishoprics".

Not really my business, but I like "Moselle" too.
I desagree with Fate and you. From 1419 to 1791, for 92,5% of the game, Moselle only designs a river, not a territory. It's not only that the name become official in 1791, it was created as a name fo a territory.

As a rule, the names of deparments given under the Revolution and the Empire (for exemple : Vendée, Morbihan, Ardennes) are useless for EU.

Since Philip II Count of Nevers and Rethel was the son of Philip II Duke of Burgundy, and it was through the former's progeny that the counties and titles were inherited, it seems more logical to interpret Rethel (and Nevers) as Burgundian.
Two points of view :
1) Artois is ruled by the the duke of Burgundy. Brabant is ruled by a cousin of the duke of Burgundy. Rethel is ruled by a cousin of the duke of Burgundy. The relationship of Rethel too Burgundy is the same that the one of Brabant and so Rethel must be treated like Brabant.
2) The count of Rethel is closer to the duke of Burgundy than the the duke of Brabant is. So Rethel can be represented as belonging to the Burgundian State.
But these points of view are related to the county of Rethel. It's "Avesnois" what is written on the map, not "Rethelois"
There was a discussion on the FF wether it would be better to have a two provinces Hainault (north Hainault around Mons and South Hainault around Valenciennes/Avesnes) or a one province Hainault and a Rethelois province. It was decided that Rethelois is a too tiny territory to be represented on the map. Of course we can rule that this decision was an error and redraw the map. But many, many principalties in Germany are not represented and are bigger than the county of Rethel.

Yes. There was a discussion on the FF to chhoose between a Nivernais province (that would be burgundian from 1419 -for the reason you explain- to 1464 and french after) and an Auxerrois province (that would be burgundian vassal from 1419 to 1424 and burgundian from 1424 to 1477 and french after). It was decided that it was the second solution what strenghtened Burgundy the most. I also proposed an Avallonnais province (instead of Auxerrois or Nivernais) what would be burgundian from the start to the end (exactly as Bourgogne province). But Auxerre is a more important city than Avallon (or Nevers).

With this disposition we can't go from Paris to Troyes without going thru Reims and we can go from Orleans too Reims without going thru Troyes. It's not very realistic. And the sacre's journey of Charles VII and Joan of Arc would be less logical.

Orleans is admittedly weak, but currently I would not place Armagnac and Bourbon in a different boat than Foix.
The realism of independance of french fiefs in EU term is IMO :
1) Burgundy-Artois-Flandern
2) Britanny
3) Foix
4) Anjou-Maine
5) Bar
6) Bourbon
7) Armagnac
8) Rethel-Nevers
9) Alençon
10) Orléans
11) Albret
12) Angoulême
13) Nemours
... (many others)

I think that only the three or four first deserve a tag.

A solution I proposed was too merge Orleans, Bourbon (Auvergne-Limousin), Armagnac (and perhaps Anjou, Maine, Bar) in a Feudal French country. This country would be present only in particular periods of weak central authority when lesser feudals (weaker than the three-four bigger) were suffisantly independant (at start when the loyalty of Dauphin Charles to the Armagnac party was not sealed in John's blood, if the cause of Charles VII collapsed circa 1430, if the Praguerie, the League of Public Weasel or the Foolish War went out of control.

The map for 1419 I made with this idea was posted here recently by ?.

If Foix ownes the Langedoc at gamestart, we will have no choice but to grant Normandy independence at gamestart as a vassal of ENG. The de facto arrangement in Normandy at gamestart with respect to England already warrants independence, IMHO.
Don't understand. England and France are in active war. Normandy is in the process of being military conquered by Henry V. The situation is totaly different. Owned by France, controlled by England is appropriated.

I disagree, this opens up a can of worms in the world of Lieutenant-Generals, Captain-Generals, governors, etc. The Duke of Burgundy's governors in the lowlands, for example, Warwick, York and Somerset successively in Normandy, and more so with Huntingdon and Gloucester in Guyenne - all had more authority and responsibilities than Foix had as a Lieutenant-General in Languedoc. Foix's abuses of his appointment should be modelled with events, IMO.
The situation is not the same (except for York where there is some similarities).
Jean is 1) the ruler of a territorial principalty and 2) the governor of a province that he rule in his own interest.
It's a situation similar to the Somme Towns after the treaty of Arras in 1435. Picardie was not de jure alienated from the royal domain,the goverment of these was given to Phillip the Good. But in EU term, we make France give Picardie to Burgundy.

If a province needs to be bent and twisted slightly one way or another in order to better represent a certain situation in a given time period (or another) then this helps us make use of thw limitations of province-based maps in general. As long as the framework for each situation is understood and agreed upon in the regional thread, then awesome.

I totally desagree with you (and Ambassador) on that and it's explain some desagreement on some provinces owning.

I agree that what you advocate was inevitable with the vanilla map because of its flaws. But, the purpose of the new map is to put an end of these flaws.

For exemple, in the new map, Artois is separated from Hainaut. And Cambrai is not represented.
My position is : Who posess Artois in reality is the owner of Artois province in the game, who posess Mons in reality is the owner of Mons province in the game, who posess Avesnois is the owner of Avesnois province in the game, and who posess Cambrai in reality is irrelevant for the ownership of Artois, Mons and Avesnois provinces in the game.

It's simpler and coherent.

If not, Mons province is not Mons province but Mons-Tournaisis province, Avesnois province is not Avesnois province but Avesnois-Valenciennois-Cambraisis-Guise-Rethelois-Sedan province, Luxembourg province is not Luxembourg province but Luxembourg-Bouillon province, and so on.


It wouldn't matter as long as we understood (and made it understood) which interpretation suited which time period best. Artois's province interpretation was argued in the first few pages of the Holland thread, IIRC, MKJ sought a more flexible framework.
Yes. And in dispise of that, people scripted event for the EU province as they wanted. Some events were made about Artois, others about Hainaut, without logic. It's the open door to incoherence.

I'm ok to say "Cambrai is not represented by a province in the game but when Cambrai is effectively controlled by Burgundians/Habsbourgs we can give a +1 to tax value to Avesnois province" but not "sometimes we give/scratch core on Avesnois province because of the rights on Hainaut, sometimes because of the rights on Cambrai".

There is a Cambrai province on MyMap, it's a different choice than ours. Not the same with a different name. They have a one province Hainaut and a one province Cambrai. We have a two provinces Hainaut and Cambrai is not represented.

The duke of Bar was vassal of the Emperor for all what was east of the Meuse river (the smaller part) and of the king of France for all what was west of the Meuse river (the greater part including the capital Bar-le-Duc). If Joan is called "la Lorraine" it's because she was from french Barrois. The duke-bishop was the first great noble to believe in Joan. The former duke was killed in the french-armagnac army at Azincourt.

Edit : where is the question I answer ? :wacko:

when John supports Louis XI rather than his Duke and cousin as you pointed out.
Not important for the modelization but Phillip the Good (and later Charles the Rash) was not the duke of Jean.
The county of Nevers is not vassal of the duchy of Burgundy but directly of the kingdom of France. (Same thing for Rethel : this county is vassal of the county of Champagne what is part of the Royal Domain).

Besides the relation, IMO we should also consider the circumstances surrounding how each cousin came to their respective inheritance. It seems that Duke John of BUR granted the county of Rethel and Nevers to his younger brother Philippe after coming into its possession in his own right;Duke John landed Rethel by birthright, and should have been his to do with as he pleased, like granting it out. On the other hand Antoine simply landed Brabant by virtue that the Duchess of Brabant's niece was his mother. His mother died before the Duchess did, and so by agreement he ended up with a Duchy.

renaud vibien said:

This would be preferable, IMO. Nevertheless, if I had to choose, I'd choose a province to represent Hainault rather than Rethel, particualrly if we would free Hainault at gamestart to represent something to fight for.

"North Champagne" and "South Champagne" !
OK, I'm sold on it. The more I think about it the more I like it. Champagne was a massive province, so why not break it into two and literally call them North and South Champagne, respectively.

Is anyone seriously against that?

Not being able to go from Paris to Troyes without first going through the southern bit of Northern Champagne makes sense though. You're right about Joan's journey being less logical.

OK, same map but now Southern Champagne's northern border extends to vitry, then runs southwest through Brienne and then west towards the Sienne and upriver to where the Sienne and Yonne split. That way, everything wll seem logical, and Champagne no longer looks like a cheese wedge :D and we avoid the Troyes stigma by renaming Troyes province to Southern Champagne and Reims becomes Northern Champagne. Morever, the newly drawn provinces should be larger and more ammenable to the longer names.

renaud vibien said:
Normandy is in the process of being military conquered by Henry V.
Normandy has been conquered at gamestart, and H. V has already done much to reestablish and entrench Ducal authority and ancient Ducal priviliges. The fact that H. V is the Duke is about the only strike against NRM being free at gamestart. It's not a significant amount of time, but certainly when H. V dies the state should be freed.

I'd prefer Foix's appointments in Languedoc be represented via events. He did not have the same priviliges in Languedoc as the English governor of Normandy had.

*nods*

The preferrable standard is to minimize / ideally not have any North/South provinces.

I have often thought about splitting Champagne, simply to make it harder to conquer. In the northwest was the county of Valois. I thought it could be represented as home/core province of the Valois.

Otherwise you could choose names of important cities or fortifications: Reims, Troyes, Verdun. The battle system of EU2 is very old. An army in a province covers the whole province, even if it is only on a specific location, probably sieging a specific city or fortress. And once this falls, the whole province falls, no matter how many cities or fortresses there are left. This makes it more logical to have provinces according to fortified cities instead to regions, like in Russia.
 
I have proposed to complete some informations for the new map to the french forum.

All the French forum members (and especially Belgian members) founded that Low Countries were far undervalued in the old map. As the Low Countries produced a lot of more taxes and income than New World under Charles V, we have decided to increase a lot the BTV for Low Countries.

Of course, this list is a proposition and could be discussed.
 
I'd change the terrain of Gel(d)re and Overijssel from swamp to plains. Both provinces are for the largest part made up of alluvial plains, well above sea level. The same probably holds true for Staatsbrabant, only the western extremety of it contains the river delta, the largest part (to the east and south) contains some of the best draining of the country.
