I think the map looks better honestly.

Me too.
Gustav II Adolf, I think the provinces are "merged" on the mini-map. Not separated, that is. And it looks better that way, IMO.

It looks really good and I'm kinda glad they dumbed down the campaign map so we don't have to deal with annoying terrain.

I'm not sure about the provinces being merged considering you can see lines in the Ottoman turk empire. I guess they represent nations of the era (Potential egypt and greek rebellion against the Turks?)

Might be interesting. They DID say that diplomacy would be more complex, so those lines might represent protectorates or something similar.
It'd be cool if you could annex nations while letting them retain a semi-seperate government.

Well, this is not major for me but i just think there is an emty feel with less detail. The colors are a bit more cartoonish and cities seem not to be well integrated with their environment. I would love to get drawn into a vibrating alive environment also in the campignmap not just in battles. However, playability overrides everything. I don´t want clutter.

I just hope the empty province will provide less sieges and more field battles.

Discoman, I think those lines represent lakes and bodies of water.

I am impressed. I like the idea of instead of having a province for easch city you kind of get more of a region province. Like London being the capital and smaller cities areound it. I like the new government system and hopefully a new trade system. I think there will be less armies so we don't have 20 stacks attacking a country. So now we might have 1 or 2 armies per region by the looks of it. I love the graphics and art style of the map. Hate the building pictures though.

I'l be the bad one so lol...I kinda think it...Well...lol. it looks a bit cheesy! At least thats my opinion. The Citys, look tiny, And I guess i just expected it to look diff. Certainly a lot of detail though, And i wont let this stop me from buying it lol...but does anyone else think, it kinda looks just a little weird?
