Transoxiana

[LordLeto]

Something that has always irked me. Shouldn't the area of the made up kingdom be more east? IE off the map compleatly? The map barly touches the Aral river let alone the Amu Darya(modern name for the Oxus river). Should this kingdom be renamed to something more fitting?

Thats the other problem, what? Caspia? Transcaspia? Prester?

Not necessarily. This map seems to have Transoxiana starting at the Caspian border...and medieval mapmaking was hardly an exact science, getting harder the further east you went...

After 1.05 we already have been tinkering with some plans to changes to kingdoms and duchies, as you might see in two longwinded threads in Mods section.

Before 1.05, Transoxania is perfect as it is.

As I can't read arabic I'll have to take your word for it.

But Transoxiana was a western/latin name for the region past the Oxus river, not a Arabic. The region in Arabic(or Persia) was something differnt and didn't mean the same area exactly.

Hence why I didn't read it.

I'll try to remember to bring this up again in January.
