New more accurate map in next release?

SV, are you planning to change the map in new release? This old one is totally unrealistic…I do not want to talk about other regions…but in Balkans...it is like map of Mid Earth, not a southeast Europe

For example in SV II map, if you want to go from capital of Serbia – Ras to Thessalonica, you must go to the Adriatic coast, than to Duress and than take a high way

to Thessalonica hehe. Now this is exactly opposite than it was and even with modern roads is today. Major communication in Balkans goes north-south, from Belgrade, Nis, Skoplje than Thessalonica, following Morava and than Vardar rivers. This was always major road route and in Roman times it was called Via militaris. Also, in real world, even now days it is difficult to go from Duress to Thesalonica...hundreds of kilometers of rough Albanian mountains and than similar rouge terrain in western Macedonia and/or Epirus. This is only some major issue…most of the map is very bad…SSteel have accurate map, maybe too big...but it will be much better if nothing

That was fixed a long time ago (bug in the original map design). You can access Thessalonika from Ras, via Skopje in the current version.

In the 3.1 I play (because I do not want to screw up some save games) I can go to Skoplje from Ras, either from Duress, or to go into Bulgaria first and than move south. In real life Ras and Skoplje are no more than 150km away.

You can go directly from Ras to Skopke, I must have changed it in the 3.2 patch.
