Ah, ok, didn't see that, but when do you actually see the provincename?
We could use arabic names for the Caliphate held city's, and use the provincenames as listed in the post.

Legio, I'm going to put up a map as soon as possible :)

I think I might help with HRE Novgorod

Okay, in order to help the mod, I made some research for the possible provinces. I already had a whole lot of map, since I was the map editor of the dead project of Viking Age TW mod.

Here's a first sample of France, Burgundy and Northern spain I made this morning :



The province aren't totally accurate for gameplay's sake (ie : Normandy wasn't called Normandy yet, lower Normandy was part of the County of Britany)

Province - City :

1 - Aquitaine - Limoges
2 - Gascogne - Bordeaux
3 - County of Brittany - Rennes
4 - Neustria/County of Maine/County of Anjou - Orléans (could be replaced by Le Mans or Angers)
5 - Septimania - Montpellier (could be replaced by Narbonnes)
6 - Provence - Marseilles
7 - Burgundy - Besancon
8 - France - Paris
9 - Duchy of Flanders (Duché des Flandres) - Boulogne
10 - Upper Normandy - Rouen
11 - Lower Normandy - Avranches
12 - Spanish March - Barcelona
13 - Navarre - Pamplona
14 - Castilla - Burgos
15 - Leon - Oviedo (could be remplaced by Leon -the city)
16 - Gallicia - Oporto (could be replaced by Santiago de Compostela)

What do you think about it ?
Names are subject to change, especially since Latin was I think still the most used language in the administration.

I'll try to complete the southern part of Spain, western germany and then I'll see what I can do for Russia and eastern Europe :)

Obviously, it's not official. I just wanted to help, and I like to study maps and the Viking Age

Very very nice...

Using latin names allso fits my vision perfectly. I'm not really sure what Lego has got on those areas, but it looks really good. We might need 1 or 2 more provinces in in central france due to having Normands as a faction in Normandy.

I am not really sure about how far the muslims came, but i imo, the Al-Andalus areas should have muslim names.

Anyway, Legio has the final word in theat mather.

Thnx

Aquitaine is huge! Is there a chance it could be divided into two or more provinces?

[Agraes]

Normandy wasn't called Normandy yet, lower Normandy was part of the County of Britany)

Brittany was a kingdom at this time

And became a duchy after the viking invasion and the return from exil of Alan Barbetorte, the grandson of the last king Alan Mawr.

Yeah, we could add the county of Toulouse and another small county like Auvergne or Bourbon

My mistakes, I'm not really fluent when it comes to brittany history ;)

I've now completed the map of Southern Spain. Since I couldn't find any political division in the Cordova Caliphate, I used a map of the Taifa period (around 1035), when the Muslim spain was not an united country anymore.
I'm now trying to find Russian principalties' political borders.

I'm sure those names wold work fine..

Krusader wrote a list of Arabic names for some of the southern city's of Spin. Theese might help you fill some gap's..

Provinces in Spain (with Arabic names):
* Andalusia - Ishbiliya (Sevilla)
* Cordoba - Qurtubah (Cordoba)
* Granada - Gharnatah (Granada)
* Valencia - Balinsiyah (Valencia)
* Castile - Tolaitola (Toledo) (owned by Al Andalus)
* Aragon - Sarakusta (Zaragoza)
