Petition for a new, expanded map

[lucaluca]

I'd like EU:Rome to have a map including West Asia, North Africa and Arabia, such as:

Map of Europa Barbarorum, mod of Rome Total War.


Those areas were in close contact with the mediterranean area, and were important regions part of playable nations such as Ptolemays and Seleucids, and contributed to the historical development of these nations.

Heh, hey check the thread a couple below yours mate.

 

[lucaluca]

yes I'd love your mod applied to this game, but please first let's get the map right

Even better yet: The entire world at the time! Rome with just Europe and whatnot is a little too much like Rome: Total War.

Yeah, and you'll be playing in the Americas, and after finishing with the countries right beside you, you'll just sit and wait the game to finish.

I didn't steal anything, i just showed how good that map is. I'll edit the post.

the entire world doesn't make any sense

 

[Alhazen]

I agree, the entire world doesnt make sense, not to mention the sheer difficulty of providing information on factions across the entire world that existed in the time frame with next to 0 sources on most of them.

Actually needs to go slightly further south for Aksums sake.

it was a joke, pal...no need to get defensive

IMO it would be nice to have China on the map. They were an empire similar to Rome in size, regional impact and technological development.

It is a pretty map isn't it?

do you have a bigger version? It's not really possible to read the provinces and cities.

 

[hanzo]

Rather than an expanded map, I'd like to see a smaller one. That way Paradox can make the gameplay with the diffrent countires more uniqe and diversified. Like the senate in rome, chiefdoms in northern and western europe, citystates in greece really differ from eachother.

I would bee cool to play with the Han emipre but, maybe not in this one..

Well, there is an interactive java map at the Eb website.

Probably a bit outdated, but once 1.0 comes out (soon! maybe ), you will be able to see the newest, most accurate EB map to date!

 

[maartos]

I wouldn't expand the map. It's better to get a smaller map done right; the larger you make it, the harder it will be to balance everything (that is, if you want the different civilisations/tribes/... to be unique and non-generic).

 

[STGeorge]

If I was honest I prefer a overhaul of the combat system, rather than an extended map!

I'll sign that petition.

The areas that this map would include didn't play a very big role during the period of EU:R, but why not include them anyway since these areas became important shortly therafter (or just shortly before the timeframe you could also argue, with the conquests of the Achaemenids and of course Alexander the Great). Having a complete map from the start will make it easier to develop mods (and the inevitable Imperial expansion).
