Which lands are my homelands

[Ar7]

I am confused, what provinces are my homelands? The ones i start with or the the ones that are listed as homelands in the GA score. I need some explanation, i would hate to develop a province only to find out i can't train anybody there http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/gc-help.gif

it's a bit of guesswork. I think it's some provinces you have now and one or 2 later. But, just check the build files for a more complete idea

I have to say - it would be useful to know where things can be built, with each faction.

I was pleasantly surprised recently to find that I can build Khazar Royal Cavalry all through "Russia" as the Byzantines - if only I'd known that earlier, as it is, I've only just started moving in, having taken down to Egypt and some of Italy.

Well, you could look in the charts and readmes map, where a nice little excel sheet is that contains all the homelands.

The Khazar royals and the Avar nobles seem to be available to anyone who controls Russia http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/gc-dizzy2.gif A little strange, but when the cumans and other steppe factions have been created with the next version, it will probably be changed.

A custom map with markings for homelands would help a lot.

Xiphias, if you wait a few minutes I might put up a map with all the homelands soon http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/wave.gif

It took a lot longer then I thought, but its ready http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif
A few things:
green are the Italians, the Sicilians and the Papal states.
white are the Danish and the Swedes.
yellow are the Spanish and the Aragonese.
blue are the French and the Burgundians.
Keep in mind that some homelands, for example prussia and pomerania for the HRE, are not in every era a homeland
The mongol homelands are shown with a brown dot.
The crusader homelands are shown with a cyan dot.
Many region-specific units can be recruited by more then one faction, but only if the regions are in the homelands. Examples are Transylvanian archers, Desert archers, Highlanders, Woodsmen, Berdyshi, and more.

And i assume the red are english homelands. Thank you all for the help, though i am playing 1.85 without VI, are the homelands the same in that version?

[Ellesthyan]

Hmmmm... I thought that the homelands concept was not yet implemented in 1.85? I could be wrong though.

[Satyr]

The homelands concept is only in version 3.nn of Medmod which is only playable under a patched VI installation. The earlier Medmods provide more of a challenge than the original game but is not nearly as extensive as the later versions. I think the current version is 3.14.

*sigh* I need to get VI http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/rolleyes.gif ...thank you for the answers everybody
