    There was more in the world than just Greece.

    That's seriously all I'm going to say about it.

    EDIT: Okay fine, I'll explain. Thebes had been completely razed by Alexander. It was rebuilt but lost its importance. I don't know that much about Argos, but I don't see any reason why Sparta can't fulfil the role Argos has. Ilis/Elis(?) was located too close to Korinthos, same goes for Pilos, Larissa is located too close to Demetrias, Thessalonika's role is fulfiled by Pella.

    Before Greece, there are areas that deserve more cities, in my opinion; Mesapotamia and Iran, as well as Gandhara and Sicily.

    I'm going to be myself and not make ass-umptions about the OP like you fellows here. As for you HAX, are you some sort of Persian? More cities in Persia...psh! OP is more than correct, he is not at fault. The only thing at fault is the game. But we must make the best out of what we have, and we must be thankful for what we have. Take everything for granted and you've got nothing.

    No, I'm partially Turkish, Arabic and Dutch.

    You misunderstand what I said. I meant that if some cities would be relocated, Persia, Gandhara and Sicily would be more deserving of some cities before Greece would.

    It could even be argued (Not very well, mind) that Greece has too many cities, and some should be relocated from Hellas to one of those regions.

    Well, the only one I could think of is Chalkis, but I think Greece is fine as it is. Perhaps Lysimacheia could be added, which is north of the Bosporan strait. I don't know.

    they would have indeed deserved to be mentioned but not on the scale the map is on(cosidering how much space a city takes and the province limit) and even as a KH player I have to say that greece is almost a bit too crowded. the city dense is favorable for greece as it is and I'm happy with it :D

    Whether or not they would be more deserving is up to every man himself

    What does the city of Megara at Herodotus time and all Greece of Plutarch have in common?

    Anyway OP, just wait till Hegemonia gets released.

    That is the point I agree with.

    IMHO each of us has a different feel which areas should have more cities and which less.
    I for one never played with the Casse, so those cities in modern Great Britain have no value for me. I would be delighted though if i could see more cities in Sicily, Persia, and to some extent even Micra asia. Also i would love for Maroneia to be in, since it would give a city in the Greek mainland that the Ptolemies controled, or some smaller island in the Aegean would be very nice as well.

    Therefore imho the map is as perfect as it can be under the circumstances. I would be extremly delighted though, if the team decided to add a city on Sicily. Agrigento or Panormus. Perhaps by taking an Irish one
