thanks for the tip, ill be giving it a shot after x-mas

as far as the the map goes, ive gon so far as to include some of the european coast from normandy to denmark, but im thinking of turning this area "off" like africa is in the main game. The main purpose though of having this extra region is for more different options for other modders, so i could fill up the 100 land regions and 40 sea regions as on the original map (save me from having possible crashes)
.. but the main reason was for diversity. Right now im focussing my campagin to be william the conqueror, but could possibly make an anglo/saxon invasion, a viking invasion... or any other number.. including an arthurian mod
