I wonder if there are going to be "Island" provinces in a "sea" of Eremos? Maybe thats a solution to the crazed warmonger AI attacking every neighbour.

It is a drawback that controlling a Black Sea port puts you at odds with someone controlling a village in the Pripet marshes. Some regions borders were less "aggravating" to their neighbours. Obviously densely settled regions like Hellas, Asia minor, Italy, the Levant and Palestine were areas with frequent conflicts so contiguous borders so the AI bellicosity is reasonable.

Maybe by isolating provinces in this somewhat artificial way you could pacify the AI somewhat in less historically "hot" areas. EG a ribbon of Eremos across the alps as a speed hump to AI Roman aggression into central Europe, or between the Ptollies and the Karthis, or throughout the sparsely populated steppe regions.
