Maybe you've right... our mappers will see that and if necessary to change sth, be sure that they'll do it...

You are of course right it was on the coast. Another question if I may? Why Herakleopolis? hadn't it faded out of significance long ago?

Nice map ! I wish you luck

Heracleopolis is still listed as one of the major cities in the 6th century in several maps. It also has a strategic function as guardian of the southern Nile crossing. But if you know a more appropriate city please go ahead.

Ofc Alexandria was located at the ( the lighthouse is a strong indicator of that) however the port of Alexandria already lies at the position of Alexandria and clumping a port next to a city doesnt look very well.

Perhaps show a picture of Moesia? Important forts of Singidunum and Sirmium on the danube were the frontier for the Romans in such a long time, im not sure if you have included them in the mod? (legions were even recruited here in the previous centuries, such as the Legio IV Flavia Felix)

Awesome to hear!

Also about the Albania, its the Caucassian Albania next to the Kaspian sea. Heres a link
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caucasian_Albania

Not to be mixed with modern Albania, which is populated by the Arbanoi tribes and exists in ancient Epirus.

**dannyalex** · June 18, 2011, 10:38 AM

This is not Albania man..maybe Bulgaria...

Spoiler Alert, click show to read:

**Deutschland** · June 18, 2011, 10:52 AM

One of the most popular mistakes about the map preview I believe... Actually it is Albania, the Caucasian Albania of the 6th Century which hasn't got to do anything with the Albania on the Balkans.

oups LOL

Though, funnily enough, the Bulgars should be just to the north of that Albania (the Caucasian one).

I know, I was just pointing out that, funnily enough, while the later Bulgars were indeed around the area of Balkan Albania (since he originally said it's not Albania, but maybe Bulgaria), the EoR-time ones were around the area of the Caucasian Albania.
