    Default What regions would do you think should be on the map?

    The premise of this thread is simple - I think that the map is too small. Not in physical size exactly, but rather it seems to me that there are regions that are missing from this game. Of course Britain should include Wales, France could use multiple regions (Navarre, Normandy, etc) and Spain as well (Barcelona). These single region world powers are not the only ones, though-
    I can think of several provinces that should be added in an eventual mod or expansion:

    Britain - Wales, N Ireland (doesn't revolt)
    France - Normandy, Southern France
    Spain - Barcelona, Majorca
    Mexico - Sonora
    Guatemala - Belize (Br Honduras)
    Colombia - Peru
    India - Kerala (southern province)
    Anatolia - Cyprus
    Greece - Crete
    Denmark - Holstein/Schleswig
    Switzerland -the entire country (Geneva)
    Florida - West Florida (Alabama coast)
    Hispaniola - Puerto Rico

    What others?

    I think Albany, New York should become NYC, New York. I know that Albany was a major hub in the fur-trading industry for the Dutch, but c'mon..it's NYC. It's some little po-dunk fishing port at the start.

    Actually I wish they'd make NYC its own province, with it and maybe Long Island. Just to show how different it was from the rest of the region. It needs to be a major city in any case.

    The Canary Islands? Make Sicily and Southern Italy two seperate provinces?

    Wouldn't mind seeing France broken up into North and South France. I don't think Spain needs to be broken up though.

    I think the east coast has enough provinces as it is.

    Additionally i quite like the new system with fewer provinces, a lot less tedious micromanagement. Although I would argue that they remove senseless provinces like gibaltrar and malta. First priority should be to make the AI defend the capitals better.

    NYC and Western America. If they included steam ships then they can include the west coast.

    Switzerland. That CA didnt include it at all is just a huge letdown. Okay, the country was very good at keeping out of European wars, but that shouldnt be an issue, when we are altering history.... besides the Swiss were as active as many of the smaller factions in the game.

    Exactly, the Swiss may have been semi-neutral, but they were still supplying quality mercenaries well into the Napoleonic Wars. I simply find it odd that Switzerland is nothing more than a sploch of trees, mountain and the tiny bit of a river in this game.

    The campaign map of Canada is terribly reproduced. Montreal appears as part of Upper Canada (Montreal was part of Lower Canada). Secondly, Montreal appears along the Ottawa River, almost where crummy Cornwall, Ontario should be, it should be a bit further up the St. Lawrence, in fact the entire scale of the Canadian territories are out of proportion. At least they got the Fort Frontenac in where it genrally should be.

    I always wanted the galapogos as an extra area like the trade zones. Just cause they are cool and i love master and commander! although there would be no point in them being in the game really :p

    They should add Nijmegen orLeiden as university cities in the Netherlands (Nijmegen MUST be in, it's our oldest city.


    WHere the town called Maas is in flanders, should be the university city Leuven, Maas might refer to the city Maastricht, but in that case it's in the wrong place, Also Luxemburg is to far north.

    Where Antwerp is should be Brugge, and Antwerp should be more inland, and connect to the sea via the Schelde river

    Flanders definately needs an extra town, and it should be Leuven and Liege/Luik

    EDIT: I think I misunderstood the thread, because I'm talking about emerging towns

    I'm actually happy with how they did this. Not as many region capitals but these places are the towns.

    You also need to consider that in the case of France that once Paris falls so does the whole country.

    Franco-Prussian War- The Germans siege Paris, France surrenders.
    WWI- The Germans try to take Paris, if they succeed they win the war
    WWII- lolParis

    Those are post 1870 though.

    And what if i don't want all of France? If I'm palying as Spain, I'd like to eb able to just take sotuhern France, not the entire damn country.
    There is absolutely no value to realism in the game whatsoever, and that's why aliens and lasers must be added immediately! Since aliens and lasers are fun, and realism is meaningless in a game, ETW must have aliens and lasers. - akd

    I think the theory is that at this course of history, France would never have ceded part of its territory like that.

    macedonia is the most egregious area left out. It shouldn't be connected to Thrace.

    Good tread idea. The New World can have many more provinces added west of the eastern seaboard. Ohio should be separate, Texas should belong to New Spain while a new region west should contain the Pueblo (they are too far east). I'm just frustrated the West Coast is not in as well, but that will be much more complicated to add.

    Agreed on the addition of Wales. Spain may have a few more regions for a total of 4, Madrid (Castile), Barcelona (Aragon), Navarre and Gibraltar though this may be unnecessary, Spain is usually never destroyed in my games. France I do think needs to be split up, simply so they may survive longer as an entity. This is tricky because I have no idea what regions or cities would take promience- Marseille? Normandy? Bordeaux? I understand the centraility of Paris but this still needs to be looked at.

    France and Spain seem awfully small to me, especially compared with Central and Northern Europe.

    Someone should put a cutout of france over an area like Prussia, and compare how many regions fit into the same size as France alone does.
