I see your point Anti-hero. But I am still sceptic for separating the map. That will lead to fewer factions to fight with ( for example- I choose Balkan peninsula as a region- England has no place there) , not so complicated political situation ( not many large factions. ) and not a great variety of units. That's my opinion and you are not obliged to agree with me. But now I remember something that you will probably agree with- you can't go conquer Scandinavia if the Balkan region is not yours as the Byzantines so I think the Glorious Achievement( my favourite) will fit it. So if you want to conquer the world play offensive campaign if you want to be more historically accurate- you can sit in the region and develop your economy. And I hope in MTW2 there will be more factions (including Bulgaria ).
