just please make singapore a full region-dont lump it in with malaysia. also, if you could find some traditional names for the aust towns (they dont have to actually mean anything-you could just use the aboriginal word for 'fish' or something) that would add to the atmoshpere

I was thinking about two non-land-linked costal provinces on the Malay peninsular. One at the tip (called Malaysia above) and on on the west coast (Malacca).

It however seems, that you know more about that region than I do (not surprising considering your location

). Would you care to come up with some province names, capitals and locations. The latter for Australia of course, the islands are pretty fixed

Little village outside of Brisbane "Indooroopilly" (gully of water according to one tribe)

Stuff like that.

I've edited the complete list for (hopefully) better readability. It should now also contain every province already in the game as well two more HRE states, with one renamed.

Wallachia
It's a must. It was never ever part of Bulgaria

Good idea, I just realised how absolutely puny Singapore would be by itself

As for Australia, whilst my knowledge of Aboriginal settlements is limited, although I seem to remember that the Aborigines were semi-nomadic, (I always found Australian Hisory dull at school), I managed to find these two maps which might help with the region names:

Hope this helps!

I failed Australian History at high school...probably because on an essay worth 1/3 of the mark I wrote 33 words... That was yeears ago though.

All the help is useful. If I didn't have this damn job :shakesfist:

Yea, jobs. Damned nuisance! At least forums.totalwar.org isn't blocked at mine, www.totalwar.org is though

Anyway, I've had a look at the maps kindly provided and changed the list above. From what I could find the areas around modern day Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth were the first settled, as well as Tasmania. I chose the province names accordingly.

I will post a map of the list in the next few days as well. No Photoshop at work or it would go faster...

Yup, those were the first areas. Tasmania was the prison colony of the prison colony. Where I come from (first fleet, bad behaviour to Tasmania, then to south australia and so on)

Is there any limit on factions? After the finals, I could go check out the library at the First Nations University of Canada and do some light research into the important tribes at the time of 1700.
