    Default Maps in time

    Has some one already produced a map for each year in EB with the factions historical accurate placed?
    I'm playing according to a guide but only gives rough notes of where the factions are generally.
    It would be neat if there were maps for every single year so you can see how each faction expands (or not for that matter... ;-).....)

    Cheers

    No.

    There are 272 years in EB....(272 BC to 1 AD) that's a LOT of maps!

    It would make more sense to do them in 10 year intervals. Even then it's a big job.

    That's why I am asking; I don't like doing something that was already done for me.
    I'll go see if I can make such an overview.

    In EU:Rome you can start at any date between 274 (?) BC and ~0. I don't know how accurate these maps are, but I think they are quite good.

    Wasn't it 272 BC - 14 AD?

    Looking around on the internet I notice it would take some time to do this.
    First of all...are the sources reliable?
    Second; huge time lags
    Third; not of every faction is the history known/important enough/recorded ect

    A rough setup can be made from every century.

    So, this brings me to the question:
    When to power-break on faction and which cities to take and give to other factions at what time?
    I want to keep them in place as long as possible (Force Diplomacy)

    Any suggestions?

    It's OK, but I'd pick a few bones with the democracy map.

    The First modern democracy is a title that could belong to a number of countries.

    Simplistic, yet entertaining. They contain more information than the average layperson has, but an educated person would like to point out a thing or two (like why is [Achaemenid] Persia missing its easternmost holdings, Sogdiane etc?).
