Campaign map

[ScionTheWorm]

1. probably around 10-15 in total, the province thread has approximately the right amount, but the final province list may differ slightly from the one in that thread.

Okay nice.. many

2. no factions have been placed yet, we're still using SPQR, if that's what you meant... Or if this is what you meant: the Swedish faction will be the Svea rike, representing the Sviar tribes/kingdom/kingdoms mostly, while the gotar territories will probably be mostly rebels.

I meant the last one

3 & 4. unfortunately not possible... An alternative way is to make the fiords rivers, but that would remove the unique fiord look from the Norwegian landscape

Okay but I would just like southern norway to be a little bit broader, that is on the right of the shore... so that the gap between sweden and norway became a little smaller. just to give it a more round feeling... might be geographically wrong though *looking at another map* oh I am, never mind

5. parts of eastern Norway need more forest, yes, will do that. I am a little careful with forests though, compared to the vanilla R:TW map, because the R:TW forests are a little to thick on the campaign map. You still get the forest feeling on the strategy map by this density, and if it works better on the battle map I think it's a better way of doing it. Anyway, this can easily be fixed when everything else has been completed, and I'll probably postpone the forest editing until later. Some battle map tests should probably be run before I can determine whether my forest density is good or if I should be a little braver... Anyway, eastern Norway will get more forest in any case.

I think northeast of the oslo area should have some more, but it has a backside yes... and if it's not crossable it's hell too, and I hate fighting in forests... but when looking at campaign map it would be appropriate

6. ok, I'll look at some maps to see where to put them. They were too small to be visible on the satellite image I used, but it might be good eyecandy to add them. I'm also thinking about adding one one-tile island outside where Birka will be, to simulate the Stockholm atoll, but haven't decided about that yet.

I think that would look nice
