    Default Provinces in Gallia

    Hi there,

    I'm testing a campaign with Romans on the former "Imperial campaign" slot. So far, no bug encountered but I was a bit disappointed when my troops were sent in Gallia to respond an aggresion. I arrived to a province called "Lugdunensis", and to my amazement, the settlement name is "Vienna".

    As a French, I know about France's geography, and it would be a pity for me not to know this area since I spent a whole year there. Given the settlement position on the map, with 2 rivers, it should be named "Lugdunum", as there are 2 rivers (Rhône and Saône) in current city of Lyon, known as Lugdunum in Ancient times.

    City of Vienne (Vienna) also existed at this time, it was a roman colony around 50BC, it's real name being "Colonia Julia Vienna" (in honor to Gaius Julius Caesar), but it is located further south of the map location, where there's only 1 river going southwards.

    Hope you will understand my point of view, really love this mod anyway. Have a nice day,

    François

    I know little about the names of these cities, fguerin, so I left them as I found them. But rest assured, ANY suggested name you put forth will be changed. OK? I work on that right now.

    Fixed the name, now 'Lugdunum' on all maps.
