Multiple Settlements Per Province?

How will this work out, I wonder? I've noticed that some provinces are rather large... So, are each individual settlements treated as capturable cities, much like the provincial capital itself(except for the fact that the province won't transfer to your control on the map)? And once captured(if possible), can they be garrisoned on the campaign map and generate an income like provincial capitals? Will they have their own building upgrades and recruitments?

If so, I have to admit, this will be an awesome game. To be able to own a chunk of a province without needing to be able to control the provincial capital sounds like a nice addition.

It could work like that, will be interesting to see how it turns out.

I believe that's more or less how it'll work. However, I do get the impression that your occupation of the "minor" settlements won't be permanent so long as the enemy controls the local capital. If a peace treaty were to be signed where you *don't* gain control of the province, I believe you'd be forced to withdraw from it entirely.

That's too bad. It'd be pretty cool to control a small chunk of a province indefinitely.

Yeah then, for example, you could have the French and Germans warring over Alsace and Lorraine.

Does that mean that one could control every city in France except for Paris, and it would still not be "their" province and appear as such on the campaign map?
