[Rodion Romanovich]

This thread is for discussions about the campaign map.

Here are some samples of the achievements so far:
======================================
Example of campaign map - Scandinavia in winter time:


Known issues:
- provinces, cities, rivers, heights etc. aren't ready yet, this is just a very early alpha version of the map
- mini map - not all of the map is displayed on the minimap. This is being solved ATM.

======================
Suggested additions/edits to list above:
Lithuania - Daugava
Estonia -> Revala - Revala (location same as modern Tallinn)
Prussia - Truso (lies just east of modern Gdansk)
Tuscany - I favor Pisa over Florence in this time period
Add: Mistra - Mistra on southern Pelopponessus, should be a Byzantine-owned small town

NORWAY AREA
* Hordaland - Bergen (town) (rebels)
* Hafrsfjord (rebels) - Nord-Jaeren / Stafangr

* Trondelag - Trondheim (town)
* Hologaland (modern Lofots area and mainland next to it) - Narvik
* Northern Norway - Tromso
* Finnmark - Kirkenes (situated next to Barents Sea and modern Russian border)

DENMARK AREA
* Sjaelland - Roskilde
* Holseta Land (modern Nordfriesland, in modern Schleswig-Holstein area) - Haithabu / Hedeby
* North Jutland - Aalborg or Viborg
* Middle Jutland - Jelling

ICELAND AREA
* Iceland - Reyjkjavik

IRELAND AREA
* Midhe (Meath) - Teamhaidh (Tara) (rebels)

* Tripolitania - Tripoli
* Cyrenaica - Barka
* Libya - Alexandria
* Egypt (also covering the Sinai) - Cairo / Fostat or Mephis
* Nubia - Assuan - although the map won't reach down to Nubia it'd probably be best to have a nubia province. This is the only recruitment zone for abyssinian guard and other nubian troops.

GERMANY AND EASTERN EUROPE AREA
(Some suggestions for cities to perhaps add:)
Add: Francia Orientalis/Francia (Franconia, north of Swabia) - Magontia?/Mains
Add: Thuringia (north of Franconia) - Erfurt

Perhaps add: Regensburg
