campaign map

[Teleklos Archelaou]

Missing? It's because there are hundreds and hundreds of cities that could possibly be represented. Salonika just wasn't as important in 272 as Pella was. It's the same with lots of other cities. Some are much more borderline, but we had to make choices based on a number of factors - we don't have all our factions in a small area so we don't want all our cities in a small area. There are different paths to take here - and RTR definitely has chosen one of them, as we have. We like our map better and think it provides a more accurate base for our factions and mod. They think the same for theirs.

Eadingas has talked in detail in some other places about why rivers don't always provide the best limits for certain peoples especially in north and central eastern Europe. If he wants he can point you to that or restate it, but that is the basic answer.

edit: and please save your breath if anyone wants to say "well, just get rid of this province (that I'm not very interested in) and add this other one in a totally different part of the map (which I am interested in)." We may make one or two other changes, but we may not. The cities and provinces will stay pretty much the same (though borders are being tweaked constantly).
