    I cannot find where he has written that. However, I can confirm that the the maximum number of provinces is 199 + 1 sea province making 200 in total. This is the same limit as is found in RTW.

    That's odd. Does that mean the sea has a capital?

    No, because the the sea province is defined as a sea region, rather than as a land region. Different standards are involved.

    They are not. You can see in one of the previews there is a pic of the campaign screen and the mini map is shown in the bottom corner covering the same land area as EB1.

    They are changing the scale of the map, though. IIRC, the campaign map in EB2 will be 1.3x larger than the one shown in EB1.

    Anyone is welcome to correct my faulty memory if neccessary.

    You're correct.

    A: Both Rome - Total War and Medieval 2 - Total War have the same hardcoded number of provinces (199), so no new settlements can be added to the game. However, the scale of map will increase (approximately 1.3x).
    + =

    3x for this, this, and this

    I am guessing that was done after the preview pic was taken.

    Thanks for all the EB timeframe/pre-islamic history sharing, this expanded my knowledge about the region in this period.

    I also never wanted Saba to be removed, they fill an important power vacuum and add a culture to a part of the world. Also they prove a challenge as one of the harder campaigns and can be used to roleplay when playing other factions. They are quite unique and just shouting that they are obselete is just a kick in the face of Moros and all other members who put their time in this to study this subject and develop the area/faction.

    I had hoped that answering the question would have taken the confrontational tone out of this discussion. Since the question has already been answered, I see no need for this thread to be reopened. If you disagree, PM me.

    Hey look at that!

    But I think I made that comment before we did more thourough testing. Think we found out that it was still 199 provinces, but just that M2TW had two sea provinces.
