Yea a new Province.

...oh who the hell am I kidding - no one really cares about the Province map.

Where is the demo?!?!?!

Barkhorn.

hm, once again, what exactly is the purpose of the provinces going to be ?
because from what i've read they will definitely not be the same as in MTW, i.e. castle in province x is equivalent with province x (more or less); get the castle/fort in province x, you own and control the province.
As I understood it, it's all about areas of influence now: bigger fort/castle, larger area of influence.
Isn't that so ?
So then, again: what's the purpose of the provinces (except, of course, from having a more historically accurate map and simply because regions need a name).

Special units. Like how it says, it's famous for it's slingers.

[Blodrast]

right. ok, i see. thank you, Steppe Merc.

[Steppe Merc]

Anytime.

So conquering the province gets you a new unit or just improves the stats?

Maybe carthaginians get balearic slingers if they conquer the balearic islands.
