The thing is that in most of the recent AI progression maps that I have seen on the forums and in my games indicates that since 1.0 the Sweboz have been held in check from taking Poland and the Baltic region by the scripted eleutheroi armies that defend those settlements. By the time that they achieve the needed strength to conquer those regions, the time is much more appropriate. And the Sarmatians historically did eventually get to those regions as well.

As for any settlements that I think are more likely to be removed, I have already said in other threads that I think Augila and Tuat have been hinted at being replaced. These could be used in India or Asia Mikra to provide much needed settlements there.

On a side note: does M2TW have BI's naval invasion ability or does the AI behave more like RTW when it comes to fleets and maritime transit?
