Is the M2TW Campaign map smaller than in RTW?

Whislt waiting for this next patch Ive been going back to play RTW. After a short time it's easy to get back into and I love it as much as always

However it seems to me that the campaign map of Europe in RTW is actualy a considerable size larger than that of M2TW. Am I right?

I think it covers the same area, but there are fewer provinces.

The map itself is bigger, but fewer provinces.

I mean smaller as in scale. It seems to me that there are many more potential battlefields in RTW.

That illusion is created by the fact that in RTW you can't zoom out nearly as much as in M2TW. The map may seem smaller, but it's probably because you have it zoomed further out. I would say there are more battlefield opportunities in M2TW, a lot more.

Are there complete maps posted somewhere online? I was looking for those but couldn't find them. That way we could compare the two.

Ah, I found this one for M2TW from the FAQ:

Which apparently has some errors in it,

and this one for RTW from the Useful Links:

Based on this: the M2TW map reaches slightly farther North, West and South, the RTW map reaches slightly farther east.
The M2TW map has a lot more regions in Europe, so the gameplay is more centered around Europe. This makes sense since the political landscape was much more alive in Medieval times than in roman times.
