Important Map Bug

[Teleklos Archelaou]

In 272 the most important town in this region seems to be Segesta. Later known as Tigulliorum. Modern site name is Sestri Levante. Use the Barrington Classical Atlas or the Tabula Imperii Romani L 32, Mediolanum-Aventicum-Brigantium, published in 1966 in Rome.

I wasn't involved in picking this site, just relating some of the reference info here.

there were two Segestae: the one in Sicily, that was most important one, and the little one in Liguria. the little one in Liguria, according to the legend, was founded by a friend of Enea, after having founded the Segesta in Sicily. Segesta in Liguria (more accurately "Segesta Tigulliorum") was a little "suburb" of the bigger Tigullia. Anyway, at the time of Augustus, the most important city in the ninth province of italy was Genua, whose origins (of course, as a little town) have to be collocated in the first millenium before christ . If Segesta had been bigger than Genua in 272 b. C.? i don't know. but i think that the criterium to choose the cities tu put on the map should be balanced between choosing the most important cities in 272 b. C. and the most important city on the whole during the two next centuries. An example: the most important city in etruria in 218 b. C. was Volaterrae, bigger than Arretium, that is on the map; at the time of augustus the biggest cities of Etruria were Arretium, Florentia and Perusia. But I think that's right to choose Arretium, because on the whole Arretium had been, during the time of the game, the most important city in Etruria. So, on the whole, the most important city of Liguria had been Genua, and not Tigullia nor Segesta Tigulliorum.

Our choice of city has generally been weighted toward campaign start, and at this point we have no plans to adjust that.
