Suggested Province List

[Darth Venom]

Alright here it goes. All the below is work in progress, many blanks still need filling in. Especially in East Asia or where historically correct names/capitals are concerned. I'll be editing the list frequently.

Notes:
- There might be/are mistakes of all sorts, please post them!
- "native" refers to a non-European faction whose name has not yet been filled in.
- VOC is the Vereenigde Oost-Indische Compagnie/Dutch United East India Company, I imagine them as a protectorate like the 13 Colonies/New Spain & New France
- Same goes for the Viceroyality of Peru (South America) which is different from the Viceroyality of New Spain (mainly North America)

Hmm, hmmm, hmmm.
The problem with the German states is that the line has to be drawn somewhere to ensure playability I think. A nation with only two or so towns just won't cut it. Therefore the aggregation (same with the native American tribes)
Currently we have:
- Bavaria, which is pretty much as it was, with border alterations of course.
- Würtemberg, which seems to represent itself as well as Baden and the Palatinate.
- Hannover, representing itself and Oldenburg
- Westphalia, consisting of Hesse-Cassel and Hesse-Nassau (Hesse as a whole is in as a emergent faction though) and the bishopric of Münster.
- Brandenburg, itself and Mecklenburg.

I think this makes a pretty good aggregation, although replacing Westphalia with Hesse would be a good idea and maybe a case could be made for Mecklenburg, since it is the largest by area, not-yet-represented and managed to stay independet as a duchy (within the HRE of course) until 1918. (bye, bye absolutism in Germany).
Leaving out the micro states like Brunswick, Berg and most bishoprics isn't really debatable, the size on the campaign map would be simply too small.

What is sad though, is that the HRE is in no way represented. It was no less a political entity then in M2TW's timeframe. Maybe someone will have a idea how to implement that.

[SaFe]

Well, especially the Palatinate is a must, considering the facts the French always wanted it for themselves.
I really think some more "buffer" german states are necessary, if we don't want to have the Austrians/Prussians and the french fight it out directly all the time, which is not my idea of this time scale.
Also Baden was not so unimportant and i agree with Hesse.
It is not necessary to implement every single minor german state, but a few more is a must in my opinion.
Same goes for France and Spain - although in there case a few more provinces would be fine.

[Darth Venom]

I kinda agree with you anyway, Palatinate and Mecklenburg should go in, maybe Baden and Oldenburg as well. The problem I'm seeing is that it might become easier for the strong neighbours to conquer them one by one. Strong army <- money <- towns <- space on campaing map. If they can be made to work, I'd like to see as many as possible.

Maybe the HRE could be represented by all the German states being protectorates of each other with full military acess...

[pevergreen]

You'd need an overall state to be protector of each, with all the others having indefinite military access and alliances.

This would create a warless area though.

[Noddy The Beefy Egg]

if you put alaska research put a new faction

[pevergreen]

Glad you think so.

However, without the promised mod tools from CA...

I've not seen a map editor.

[Megas Methuselah]

I've resigned on the whole thing, but I did get ahold of this diamond mine of a map on Amerindian North America at the university. I doubt it'll be of any use, though, because, as Pervegoon already stated, we have yet to get acquire any official modding tools, and will likely never get any.

[pevergreen]

I hate you.
