Fan-based map progression thread

[Brave Brave Sir Robin]

Wasn't sure whether to open a new thread about this or just post here. Who wants to discuss interesting things they found on the trade map and what they might mean for movement of provinces? So far I've noticed several missing towns/ports on those maps. The biggest one to me seems to be Sidon, there no longer appears to be a Phoenician city in the area. Ammonion and Augila are both gone thankfully. This cuts the Ptollies down by three provinces in Egypt/Levant, hopefully stalling creations of Yellow Deaths.

Also missing are the provinces on the islands of Lesbos and Euboia, both originally Makedonian. Can't really say what effect this would have on gameplay yet, but there is the addition of Ephesus which from prior previews would appear to be Ptolemaic.

Gotland is also missing as are a few of the Baltic provinces.

To balance this out I see an extra province in Skythia, an extra at the Indus basin and an extra in Western Iberia.

Does anybody else see anything interesting in the trade map? I'd like to start a discussion about these things.
