That's because u haven't played the beta, silly. ;)

Starting with....

Shouldn't that be "nitpicking" at the end of that sentence? :D

I think that ballaistae (plural of ballista) were perfectly capable of launching a fully armoured knight over a wall at this point in history. Advanced weaving tech would be required, however, to make the blankets a much tighter weave...

I have several demands:

1. The village in China be included.

2. The map be fully translated in to Latin.

3. Spain becomes an Island!

If my ridcolouse demands aren't met, then I will lead forum protests!:D

Admittedly, took me some time to get the geometry right (still not perfect). ;)

Gather, fellow forumites, it is time for rampant speculation!

Well at the sidebar we see some scroll arrows at the bottom. Presumably to the map. Then it´s the minimap over that. Over that it looks like some shortcuts, these are possibly to different modes of the map like in EU. Think the diplomacy screen and the production screen etc. The thing over that is a mystery to me but one theory is that it´s the fortification level in a prov with possible upgrade levels or the like beneath it. Or it could be two connected candles. :D

At the top in looks like another set of links, if my EU inspired mind doesn´t lie to me we are seeing the links to production, raising armies build fortification etc for a single prov. And if the above rambling is correct (likely not) that would make the top left one the build in a prov icon since that one looks highlighted.

Maybe a crown, indicating the level of prestige you have.
Or 2 people, shaking hands with each other, for an alliance.
Or 2 people reaching each other hands, as a royal marriage.
Or a plate with food (this one is turkey, the highest level).
Or a city, with 2 burning towers.

I like the last one. Could indicate a looted prov. But I would rather see a black cloud of smoke rising fromj a prov on the actual map.:cool:

Looks like two towers with fires on them to me. I write it down to aesthetic purposes. ;)

I'm pleased by the look of the provinces, more varied and colorful appearance than EU. Seazones are relatively large. You think the screen is at the top of the map?

I'm pretty sure it's two candles with an empty plate or bowl in front of them. Could be for 'tithing' (you donate money and coins show up in the bowl :D )
