Patch 1.19 small map updates

[Mingmung]

Good news for all the map-fanatics out there, patch 1.19 brings more changes around the world:

Miscellaneous updates.
- England has gotten control of Alencon and Maine. Better reflecting the not-fully-honored treaty of Tours.
- Muscovy has gotten one new province between Tver and Yaroslavl named Rostov. Novgorod-controlled Kholm has split in Kholm and the new province of Luki.
- The Nubian and Ethiopian region has gotten a few more tags, but seemingly no new provinces (so nerfing Ethiopia a bit), in the form of Beja, Damot, Hadiya and Welayta. Adal controls the former Ethiopian province of Dawaro in 1444.
- The Portuguese province of Alentejo has been split in Evora and Beja.
- The Timurids have gotten one more province in the Persian region, Abarquh.

Scandinavia has gotten a beautiful update to its development and province count.
- Denmark has three new provinces.
- Norway has three new provinces.
- Sweden and Swedish Finland have gotten five new provinces.
- A new OPM and province has been added to Northern Germany called Dithmarschen.

The Balkans have gotten an update too.
- Hungary has gotten the province of Szerem/Srem, which has been split from Bacs.
- Srbija has been split in two to better reflect the importance of Smederevo, the capital, and Belgrade. So Smederevo is now its own province. Srbija probably has Belgrade as its provincial capital.
- Albania has been split in three, creating two more provinces. So we now have Albanian-controlled Lezhe, Venetian-controlled Durazzo and Ottoman-controlled Avlonya. Probably Albanian culture in all three of them, but that´s just speculation.

Wastelands.
- The Alps have been added between Savoy, Switzerland, Austria and other minor Italian and German states.
- The Pyrenees have been added between France and Spain.
- Multiple untraversable mountain ranges have been added between Norway and Sweden.
- The Carpathian mountains have been added between Moldova and Hungary.
- The Caucasus mountain range has been added, splitting Georgia from the steppes to its North.
- The Atlas mountains have been added in the Maghreb.
- New mountain ranges in Persia and Azerbaijan.

Don't forget about the provinces in Russia.

ETA and Norway.

 

[Mingmung]

Aaah yes, you're right. Kholm and Vladimir have been split in two.

Is the idea group limitation change Ironman compatible?

I don't know, he hasn't said much about it on his Twitter. We'll probably see in the coming weeks.

(my guess is probably not though)

Change of colour for Shirvan - kind of a shame, I liked that golden colour

I'd assume not since game rules changes that make the game easier are not iron-man compatible in CK2.

No

Johan says there is too much blue to make Prussia blue, proceeds to make Shirvan blue. Gg.

Also, not a fan of the new political map mode. Hope we can choose to keep it the old way.

I guess at this point, he's just trolling. :/

If too much blue on the map is the reason for Prussia staying Grey, then why was a nation right next to another blue nation changed to blue?

 

[Silverflash]

The map looks interesting. Political mode but with physical features on unclaimed territory is something I'm looking forward to seeing.

 

[Martynios]

Will you still be able to get achievements with 1.18 games if you downgrade to that patch after 1.19 comes out?

 

[Krebsig]

@Johan: Will the terrain on the political mapmode be an optional feature or the new standard for that respective mapmode?

Another tag now uses Shirvan's old color.

I think red Ottomans would cause trouble because Ottomans can often end up bordering Poland-Lithuania and Morocco. The pale green suits them and they've been green since EUII at least.

Can someone explain what exactly the new ideagroup option does? I must be missing something obvious but I don't really understand.

 

[Chagall]

You are not allowed to take more than half of your idea groups in the same category. So you can now take espionage and maritime as your first and second idea group if you want to.
