    Default Historical and Cultural Error with the map

    Not really, but you have made a mistake that is a pet peeve of mine. You put Strassburg in a province you called "Lower Lorraine" but it is not Lorraine it is Alsace. There is a major difference between those two province, Lorraine has always been French-cultured, while Alsace has traditionally been linguistically and culturaly German until recent times...

    I think the title title is a perfect example of hyberbole.

    Pardon my ignorance, but what do you mean with hyberbole? I know an "hyperbool" and that is a mathematical figure. Not the same, right?

    It just means it's an exaggeration (usually for dramatic effect of some kind).

    Yes, he might well like the mod otherwise. It is a certainty that map defects will be sorted out soon enough.

    This is a good mod, and will be better when its completed, putting Alsace and Lorraine together is just a bit of a pet peeve of mine.

    I am doing some map/description work for the team despite having no sig. Whether militiaman or I get to it, it will be sorted soon, well imminently, but soon in terms of a patch.
