Personally, I think they've gone overboard with permanent stone forts. Looks too clustered, and I fear that field battles (i.e., fun battles) are going to be extremely rare in certain regions. Welcome to siegeworld.

Yeah, they stated a while back that certain parts of the map that historically no one really bothered to conquer would be regulated to Eremos. Central Sardinia, western Ireland, and parts of Russia were amongst those areas. Not sure what purpose it serves in terms of gameplay, but I guess it's intended to be more accurate.
