Holy crap... do they put every village in there? At that time, there were perhaps 300K people total in that area and I am probably being generous. Don't believe Homer's account of 100K warriors, that was simply not feasible.

@Gigantus: thanks a lot!
@ alhoon: it's a mythological game, not a historical one. We need to wait for good historical mods, scrapping all the crap.
Nice one .)

As you see in the @alhoon entry, he's uneasy already with the a-historical number of inhabitants in Hellas in Troy. I know his historical mods and I share his historical orientation. I expect him to consider those minotaurs and harpies to be unhistorical crap, but I may be wrong.
The map consists of main settlements where couple of thousands would reside with 2-3 villages where a couple of hundred would reside. I don't see how this is somehow ahistorical where it suggests much more population present in the region.

"We're nice mainly because we're rich and comfortable."
I don't mind the minotaurs, that's game stuff. I play scifi and fantasy too.
But... they used a historical setting for that mythical stuff. So I would expect something that more closely related to history.
That must be 200-250 settlements there. 75 towns and a bunch of villages. As for the 2-3K and a couple of villages, that was simply not feasible in bronze age. Even in fertile Greece you needed a much greater rural population to support an urban population. To support 75 towns, let's say 50000 urban population*, you would need like half a million farmers and fishermen. That's 3500 years ago. There simply were not that many people.
I see no real reason to have 200-250 settlements there aside of supporting a large number of factions. They could have easily do 100-120 settlements, with about 15 towns and 90 villages.
*Assuming a handful of serious towns with priests, aristocrats, cobblers, merchants, technicians, artists, etc, etc. and the rest of the towns having a few hundred "Urbanites" and the rest working the farms outside the town.

Greek City-States
There grew to be over 1,000 city-states in ancient Greece, but the main poleis were Athína (Athens), Spárti (Sparta), Kórinthos (Corinth), Thíva (Thebes), Siracusa (Syracuse), Égina (Aegina), Ródos (Rhodes), Árgos, Erétria, and Elis.

Yes, in the 1500 years since the Troyan war to the early middle ages, 1000 city states came and go. You want to be more generous? In the 1200 years since the Troyan war till the fall of the last Hellenistic province to the Romans, there have been 1000 city states.
So, the question now is obviously:
Who would create a mod using that huge map for ... something different? We already have a R2TW mod for the fall of Greece to the Romans.
Perhaps a Phillip/Early Alexander mod about uniting Greece and invading the Greek Satraps?

Yeap. Dorian city-states are there for example, and they came over after the Trojan war. Take Sparta for example. They came to be a polis like 400 years after the Trojan war. There was a small village a mile or so from where ancient Sparta was. Byzantium is also in the map. Byzantium was a colony of shorts from Megara.
In 1200 BC, Megara didn't exist, let alone Byzantium. The town of Byzantium was established somewhere in the 8th or 7th century BC.
