    (I dunno if these existed in 272BC because I got them from Simon Scarrow's book series, but he does seem to do his homework on this)

    I've heard Team members hint at or outright state that the regions of Augila and Gaetulia are up for removal, which could give more space for other, more "important" areas. Just a rumor, this conversation never happened.

    This does make sense though, as even if a Numidian faction (or 2) was included, Gaetulia is a ridiculously distant province to hold and does not make much if any impression on the larger picture, from my experience. It also causes otherwise relatively accurate ai progression maps to suddenly become very strange looking when Qart-Hardast conquers Tuat.

    Augila would be justified for deletion if you consider that the major powers did not look much further inland than the city of Kyrene itself. Augila is in the middle of the desert (so is Ammon, but that's different) and most AI armies ignore it until they have conquered everything else in the region. If the human player conquers it first (possibly because it sometimes is closer than Kyrene), then the minimap looks very strange.

    Gaetulia has been at the chopping block previously at the time of 0.81, and the region was made in to a small rectangle in order for it's later removal. Eb team changed it's mind though and it was saved and reinstated at 1.0 as a viable province. I think it had something to do with the inclusion of Garamantine warriors, although I am not sure.
