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)

Here's in an updated version :

Some borders have been fixed, and I added southern Spain aswell as the biggest russian principalties. I first used a map of Russia in 1054, but since it was a bit late for the mod, I fixed some of the borders according to some map of earlier russia.

1 - Aquitaine - Limoges
2 - Gascogne - Bordeaux
3 - Kingdom 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 - Principalty of Navarre - Pamplona
14 - Kingdom of Castilla - Burgos
15 - Kingdom of Leon - Oviedo (could be remplaced by Leon -the city)
16 - Gallicia - Oporto (could be replaced by Santiago de Compostela)
17 - County of Toulouse - Toulouse
18 - Badajoz - Badajoz
19 - Toledo - Toledo
20 - Emirate of Zaragoza - Zaragoza
21 - Valencia - Valencia (I don't know if this place was an independant Emirate or part of Cordoba during the 9th century)
22 - Almeria - Almeria
23 - Granada - Granada
24 - Cordova - Cordova
25 - Sevilla - Sevilla
26 - (Principalty of ?) Novgorod - Novgorod
27 - (Principalty of ?) Polotsk - Polotsk
28 - (Principalty of ?) Smolensk - Smolensk
29 - (Principalty of ?) Rostov-Suzdal - Rostov (could be replaced be either Vladimir or Suzdal)
30 - (Principalty of ?) Kiev - Kiev
31 - (Principalty of ?) Pereiaslav - Pereiaslav
32 - (Principalty of ?) Chernihiv - Ryazan
33 - Volhynia - Brest
34 - Galich - Galich
35 - Estonia ? - ???
36 - Livonia ? - ???
37 - Lithuania - ???
38 - Prussia - ???
39 - Pomerania - Kolberg
40 - Mazovia - Plock
41 - Chrobatia - Cracow
42 - Polania - Posen

The political situation in Russia is kinda unclear for me. I don't know all cities were part of a Kievan 'kingdom' or independant principalties.

About Estonia and Livonia, I don't know if these provinces were called like that, but that's people living here were called Estonians and Livonians, so I think that's the best name I could have found. I don't have settlement names yet, but I'll find them later.

For Andalusian Provinces, see Skeletor's names in the previous post.

Some cities and province borders might be misplaced, but without rivers, moutains, I sometimes have to put the cities kinda randomly ;)

Latest version :

Approximately 80 provinces. Any input would be nice
Provinces/settlements names will be up tomorrow. Now it's time to get some alcohol and to get drunk

Aquitaine is still pretty big... I hate to be a jerk about it, but it's surrounded by so many small regions...

I also think there should more, smaller German provinces.

cant a bit more of greenland be added this is a game about vikings and althogh they diddn't have a big community there it would still be cool if there was a bit more of it

Ofcourse it wold be cool having more Greenland there, but then we must have a huge area in the atlantic outside Britain and spain with only water.

Allso, the province will probably not be used at all. I don't think any player will bother traveling this far to get a very small village.
And the AI won't tutch it at all i guess..

My best bet is to see what Legio's map looks like when it's finished.

Well, it might be a good place to hide...

I think Greenland should be left out of the equation until all the other map-necessities have been finished. If there's still time and room for Greenland, a bonus it could be.
