Campaign map

Map looks great :-) I think you should use period city and province names though, where possible. Winchester should be Winceastre. Eboracum (Roman name) should be Jorvik. Mercia would be Mierce or Myrce. East Anglia would be Eást-Engle, Essex would be Eást-Seaxe. Northhumbria would be Norþ-hymbre. I have books on English, Scandinavian, German and Dutch place names, so I can help with these.

Thanks Germanicus!
I will edit the names you sent and Im waiting for the more appropriate other ones.

I'll look into the others, might take me a few days. Some care has to be taken with the English place-names, since with the Domesday Book in 1086 some may have a different spelling to how the Saxons or Norsemen spelt them. Whether you can make a script for that (or whether it is even worth it for 13 years I don't know). But for historical accuracy it is the correct thing to do. Cheers!

Only one place name is allowed. You can manually change some settlement names in BI if you want.
We need only Saxon names.

I'm working on the names now. It's gonna take a few days yet, some require quite a bit of research.

Update:

I need to know the modern province names and modern city/settlement names for the following before I can continue:

43 Frisia - Traiectum (Frisians)
54 Langobardia - Mediolanum (Lombards)
55 Alemannia - Constantia
56 Austrasia - Magantia
60 Meissen – Albrechtsburg
59 Billung Marca

Some of the Scandinavian province names you propose are causing problems because they are not historical names or regions. In some cases I am having to propose postulated names. I'll come back to you on these.

The Swedish names are a little less well researched than the others as I can't find my copy of Ortnamn i Sverige and I'm having to use other sources, including Google.
