Campaign map

Not to insult your mapping skills in the least, Philadelphos, for they are quite good, but I don't think you'll ever see a Total War game with that many cities clustered into such a small area. Most players prefer field battles to siege battles, and one goal of R2TW (as I understand it) is to make field battles more common and more significant, hence having provinces with a single settlement divided into multiple districts which can be captured without any sieging (again, if I understand it correctly). Nice detail, though!

In empire when you fought a pitch battle outside a provincial capitol and won all opposing forces retreat. Including those in the city, leaving it undefended. Then you march in and crush the armed citizenry.

And the multiple districts in a provinces could very well be based around control of a secondary city or town.
