Preview: Provinces

Great preview, I think the province system will add more depth (not that there is not enough already).

I was a little curious about the implementation; I think a similar idea occurred to me a while ago, which I immediately dismissed because I thought 198 province description buildings would severely limit the available building slots(max 64 x 9 IIRC). If there some new flexibility in M2TW (also responsible for the rumblings I hear of a "wonders project")?

MTW2 supports 128 building trees, compared to 64. Also with some deft slight of hand (and hidden resources) I can probably reduce the current usage of 22 building trees down to 6-9.

You've sparked my curiosity; not only will it have descriptions to immersed in but also some clever coding to peruse (in its correct sense). EB works on so many levels.

Fantastic update, Foot -- am really impressed with how this project is evolving.
The even more complete historical aspect of EBII only provides me with a stronger argument to my wife, who hates the amount of time I devote to EB 1.2...it has become a bit of an addiction...!

Oh, and my 10-year-old begs me to play so he can watch, learn, and advise me on the battlefield. I'll take EB over Call of Duty or Halo any day!! [Don't get me wrong...we play those as well...]
