Many thanks for those waiting patiently. The map will be very much alive after our developers next Fullbuild. A great team effort!

Riothamus, thank you for your work. Very interesting period. Many played in IB2_Britanniae campaign. I am waiting for release this mod.

Hi, I'm happy you guys are still working on this AND making progress. Thank you for that.
If you are trying the main campaign atm, as I read in the "developments-thread", could you (if you have the time) post an actual (whole) map (with starting regions of the factions).
Because the last version I'm aware of is quit old. And in Rio's (more or less "new") pics you just see Britain.

The map stretches well into Asia and partially into India. We will show some maps soon

Ok... I wouldn't have guessed, that the map would reach until the river Indus (or beyond). I'm also exited which regions will belong to the respective faction. Especially the Western Empire since Majorian had recaptured a lot of Gaul (the Burgundians were basically pushed back into the Sapaudia and the Visigoths into Tolosa and south-west Aquitania, and both had to accept their foedus-status again) and of course "pacified" most of Hispania. The western Mediterranian (except from northern Africa) was still in "Roman hands". And in Dalmatia Marcellinus had subordinated or allied himself with emperor Majorian.
Or does the mod start before the reconquest of Gallia and Hispania?
Anyway, I'm really looking forward to your "map-preview"...

Hey Kashkarov,

The river Indus will indeed be the eastern border on our map.

The mod kicks off in 443 AD, that is during the reign of Valentinian III and on the eve of the great confrontation between Aetius and Atilla.

Regarding the provinces, in Gaul the situation is quite stable. The Burgundians have just been subjugated and moved into Sapaudia. The Visigoths were defeated in the war of 436-439 AD and brought under Roman control. There are some reports of troubles caused by the Franks in the north-east on the river Rhine and by the Bagaudae in Armorica, that's, however, nothing that can challenge the Roman rule in this province.

Things, however, don't look so bright in other provinces. In Africa, in 439 AD the Vandals took Carthage along with the bulk of the rich African provinces. As a result of the treaty signed in 442 AD the Vandals were allowed to keep African Proconsularis, Byzacena and the western part of Numidia. The Romans received back the western part of Numidia plus two Mauretanian provinces. It is tough but a pitiful compensation for all their recent losses.

After the initial suspension of hostilities after the Vandal departure in 429 AD, the situation in Spain has deteriorated, as well. In the late 30-ties and early 40-ties Rechila, the new king of the Suebi, has moved out of Galicia invading Lusitania, Baetica and Carthaginiensis, leaving only Tarraconensis in the Roman hands. It is, however, believed that he did not establish any permanent rule in last two of the aforementioned provinces.

Here are a couple of screenies to please your eyes
