Hey, did you hear that CA won't be putting Wallachia in the game?

Separately Darth Venom.
During 1710-1713 Wallachia and Moldova joined the Russians against their ottoman masters when they failed the local princes were dethroned and the Wallachian one beheaded and replaced by Greek born princes in 1718 they fought with the ottomans against the Austrians and the Austrians took eastern Wallachia and Timisoara(Temesvar), for 20 years, in 1739 the Austrians almost annexed Wallachis and Moldova only to be pushed out by the Russians in Moldova and the Turks in the south and well i can't remember the rest it's a long history during the 5-7 turko-ruso-austrian wars of the period they were the main battleground and the local princes were switching sides faster then the sultan got the mail

Alright, on these grounds having an extra province does make sense, since this seems to be the grounds on which CA decided province borders (at least in west Europe).

Still, not having your home province/region/town/whatever in the game is not a measure of its quality.

It is a matter of the game's historical quality.

.
I think the game engine is great the battles the ships the diplomacy the new economic model but the map has been made by some 1st grader for me as a history buff.

I agree with most of that.

However, I think the point is not that CA doesn't know how a 100% historical map should look, but that they draw the line between historical accuracy vs. playability quite a bit farther towards the latter than you, I and most of this board would have done. (Judging by the popularity of mods like EB)
