For all I care, Ottoman Eastern European possessions could be one region called Ottoman Eastern Europe. It's not because I'm ignorant of history. It's because you're ignorant of modeling. There's a reason a barbie doll doesn't have every single organ in the human body and it's not because Mattel is being ignorant of the human anatomy.

The fact is, there are always abstractions where games are concerned. There's no historical data to suggest that line infantry are 50% better in melee than militias rather than 60%. Game provinces are the same. There should be a set amount of provinces to control game length. After you hit that mark, certain provinces should be cut from the game or combined with another.

You can deny it is a nationalistic outburst, but it really is a nationalistic outburst. You're upset that your country is one of the regions that got put on the cutting floor or combined with another province. Look at my join date. I've been at these forums ever since Shogun and there's always no end to complaints by people wondering why their end of the boondocks isn't included in the game.

Neah, I'm just so intrigued why they didn't just draw the borders a bit more logically. I never said there should be an extra province there, just different borders. I think I already stated that in an earlier post - do I express myself that bad?

Just because you have 1000+ posts and are here since the stone age doesn't count as an argument in a discussion as far as I am concerned. I have seen my fair share of nationalist threads. If you think this is one of them and I am nothing but an over-crazed Romanian that wants every Romanian county in the game.... it must mean I am very bad at expressing an idea.
