    Hello all!

    New here so forgive me for questions if they're silly! I'd like to help out you wonderful group of people, and not being a modder or designer I thought I could string some words together (or edit those of others), if that'd be helpful?

    Are there any provinces that still need doing? Any particularly urgent ones, or completed ones that need editing?

    I hope I can help with something.

    Keep up the good work!

    Thanks and YES! Three in particular are sorely lacking:

    - Trinakrie (Syrakousai)
    - Sicilia (Messana)
    - Elimya (Lilubim)

    All provinces are important, but these locations have great history and occupy a central position in the game, so it's rather sad that we have nothing for any of them. Of the three, Syracuse is probably the most important. Interested?

    Hi Kull,

    Thank you for replying so quickly - I'm afraid I've been away recently. I am happy to attempt Syracuse, particularly as there is quite a bit of documentation and original sources. I shall scan the exemplar piece, but what particular constraints are there regarding the length of the piece, the time period covered, and the romanticism of the traveller's log?

    Was away myself for the past week (and will soon be gone again until early January), so apologies for the late reply. My personal rule is that even a short piece is better than nothing, but with Syracuse, there's a ton of history as it was a major player during the EB time frame, most of which is readily available (as you noted). Usually the historical accounts begin with the first appearance of the city in the historical record, and can continue well into and even beyond the EB2 period (although anything later than Imperial Rome is too much). The traveller log is just a way to add some period "feel" to what it might be like for some traveller visiting the province at this time. There's no single "right way" to do it, so see what you can come up with. The strategy section should not be very long - just make note of any particular in-game economic benefits (such as the highly developed nature of the city itself, loaded with improvements). Should add a comment that many of the AI factions consider it a ripe target for naval invasion. As for the overall length of the piece, there's really no limit.
