    Here's a great example from Britain:

    Thanks for that link, it re-inforces what I have begun to suspect more and more; that the history Rome has handed down to us (of Rome 'civilising' the Barbarian world) is far from being an accurate portrayal of events. I get a little hot under the collar when I see documentaries just re-hashing that tale. I think that alot more work needs to be undertaken to understand the cultures that existed prior to Roman hegemony - I know that there is a fair bit ongoing (cmaq's great Lugione preview highlights a fair deal, and the discovery and works at the many Boii 'oppida', not to mention such places as Bibracte, Gergovia and Avaricum) but.....more could be done, and it'd be nice to see some of that work hauled together and publicised a little more.

    Hm, I'm not particularly keen on making part of Ireland (or Scandinavia) unconquerable... If the areas had no government structure, then they should be made part of a nearby province; even so, it's not as though those areas didn't have a unique culture or didn't have people, that alone should make some sort of province justifiable, otherwise you basically have to sit there and look at a place that is, for all non-cartographic intents and purposes, not there. A simplification: A basic, generalized settlement being present, would be more realistic than nothing at all.

    Could you in addition to the Eremos change make a PSF in each of the ungovernable areas and use a garrison script to spawn uber stacks of rebels if the PSF is attacked or held by the player?

    Not to draw too fine a point, yet if anyone here could please explain what the tree-rings of Irish Oaks tell us about the near total absence of any archaeological evidence of human settlement, of any significance in the LpRIA or early RIA, either in Erie or northern Alba, that would be really great.

    And, I quote:
    D Rumsfelt
    There are known knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns – the ones we don't know we don't know.
    May I add:
    Yours Truely
    There are those so-called known knowns we think we know, but all too often what we think are know as known, are in fact total BS.
    I hope this may help.

    That would be for you as, much as for me. Please see your earlier posting titled: The East Anglian and Dutch Coasts. And please take a look at this.

    This graph provides only a very basic outline as seen from central Greenland. The temporal correlation is based entirely on radiocarbon dating, thus placement of the more remote samples are of course less reliable.
