Forgive me if im wrong but i could have sworn i read somewhere that it was hard coded that u had to have at least 50 provinces on your campaign map in order for it too work. THis is not true in an effort to simplify my camp map as much as possible and to work from scratch i had just two provinces(on of which is Rome) and the game ran perfectly. was this already know or did people think that there had to be 50 provinces. The only thing was that i got an Imminent defeat message becasue as u might expect i couldnt ever win by capturing 50 provinces if there were only 2 lol.this could make creating camp map's alot easier because u can start simple and work your way up adding one province at a time.
