Lakedamonia?

What's the reason Lakedamonia (Sparta Region) has parts of 3 other provinces in the south?

A: This is Cape Tainaron, which is only accessible by sea. This was a famous mercenary hub in ancient times, and you can recruit many mercenaries here which would normally be a lot farther off in the three different spots. The weird map is a side effect of our implementation, where we add a spot from three different mercenary pools in this location.

Coooool. I never thought of using it like that before. I just assumed that it was part of some weird inheritance the Ptolies and Seleukids had got.

Cool never realized that either. Does anyone know if the AI considers itself a border province with this province or not though? I always thought it was a means for getting the AI to invade Greece.

And wouldn't the AI get pissed off that you're marching on "it's" territory?

The better question would be "By the point they do something, does it even matter?" Obviously because the AI will eventually attack you anyways...

You can't walk on those small bits though. That's the point.

accessible only by sea. Its where I'd have lived back in the day. Woulda been like a smugglers den, or some crazy rough cantina from star wars.

Mercenary recruitment works by allowing you to access mercenaries from neighbouring provinces, although whether it is just one or two I do not know. In otherwords, just stand in Southern Greece and you'll get a huge range of mercenaries.
