I have tested the map and the Saxons now expand to their realistic path towards Armorica. Which is the first thing I noticed. So, right then and there I thought this was going to work out well. And it has. The Alemanii expand, the Franks move, the Lombardii conquer, etc, etc. Need I say more?

The financials are balanced. The WRE has it harder. The ERE has a hard time holding a steady eastern border. The faction colors are bearable. And so forth.

This is a map for BI that includes numerous new regions and changes, corrects many of the old and overall balancing. This map has more regions to make gameplay more interesting an unpredictable while adding more options to expansion. It is far more dynamic and in depth than the BI vanilla map.

How many provinces does the WRE start out with?

How are the Hordes working? I don't hope they are being soaked up by the many new provinces.

I watched the Vandals during my test run and the sacked three cities before settling down in the illyrian region. The huns did similar and settled in Greece. The hordes are all fine.

Ok... Nice... I think I will wait a while still so other can comment on it. You might say I'm a little afraid it might ruin the Hordes still.

But I wondered something. Perhaps the two Sarmatian cities will actually help the Huns and Vandals to not fight each other as usual. It often seem as if they fight over the right to sack Sarmatia. Now with two cities they can pick one each.

But I just fear that with this many provinces that they empires might get too strong to get into trouble from the hordes. Sure they might take a few, but what the heck I have 40 more in Asia Minor and the Levant (or France and Spain).

How many provinces do the big three have each? WRE, ERE and Sassanids...

Why have you removed the Roxolanii city? I thought it was a good one (historically).

Btw, Pergemum is PergAmum (or Pergamon).
