Kretoma, how would you like to see Silesia split up? More territories, two bonuses instead of one...?

And Stewie, while I'll tinker with the bonus values later, that 15 really isn't that much in comparison to most other places. In the current state of the map, if you start in one of the coastal cities, you'll have much more in those two turns, with better long-term prospects too.
Yes, it is pretty high-income as it is now, but that's mainly because I wanted one bonus of seven territories to give more income than seven bonuses of one territory - which scales bigger bonuses up to rather high values(see also Bengal or the Sikh confederacy, for example). That's something I want to discuss at a later point, for sure :)

I would advise to split the bonuses of both Saxony (into Lusatia and Saxony Proper) and Silesia (Lower Silesia and Upper Silesia).
Both Regions were battlegrounds and it does not make sense to give them less provinces than lands in England.

For this please split Saxony (the province) into Osterland, Meissen and Upper Lusatia. Rename the Province of Lusatia into Lower Lusatia.

Silesia could use an additional province, maybe two. Liegnitz could be split in two, the North called Glogau. Please give Breslau its proper location, here is a map:

It is in the middle of Silesia, not at the northern border.

Thank you. ^^

Hm. Fair enough. You are right that it was an important battle ground, but I figured it was more of a spot for armies to meet than to actually control - so the number of territories didn't need to be as high as the countries that would meet there.
I'll see how much extra territories can fit there and give it a shot. Thanks :)

(Also, Breslay is wrongly positioned, yes, but that was mainly because I prefer cities to be on borders between territories rather than islands within territories - if I give Silesia another territory or two, that would be solved)

Cesis -> Tsesis



as a latvian that made me laugh trying to pronounce that. It's Cēsis in Latvian if that helps at all.

If possible, I'd like to stick to historical, regional names, but for readability for most warlight players, in latin alphabet. So all suggestions/improvements for local names are welcome. I'll make that first priority today.

So, do you want to use names used by the country the lands were controlled by in Latin alphabet? That sounds fair to me. Do you still intend on occasionally using English names, as in Warsaw, not Warszawa? ?I'm neutral on that, but I'd like this bit clarified, please.

^^this basic question is still not answered

On all other of your suggestions, I'll take your word for it. This distinction, however, showed up often. I believe it was a short-lived distinction, but was made nonetheless. Is that a wellspread myth or something?

I googled up a bit. It was a region of Brazil, not a whole different country. States are the administrative divisions here. Just like in the US.

It was one damn huge one, but it was still part of Brazil.

It was awfully short lived (1772-1774), then split into two states who would eventually split up even further to form a shitton of northern states.

Still, a part of Brazil. Don't know why you made them a separate bonus.

A few details on hispanic names and places:

Iberia:

- Ourense is a spanish province, not portuguese...
- Guadelajara => Guadalajara
- Caceres => Cáceres
- Badajos => Badajoz
- Ciudad => Ciudad Real
- Castile. If you want to use the english name it's alright. If you want to be consistent and use spanish as in everywhere else, it's Castilla.

America:

- Guadelajara => Guadalajara (again, aswell as the province)
- Merida => Mérida
- Havana. Just like with Castilla above, in spanish it's spelt "La Habana"
- Miskito Kingdom. Same as above. In spanish it is "Costa de Mosquitos".
- Venezuela. Back then Essequibo was a venezuelan dependency, and it was bigger and reached deeper into the Amazon.

Aswell as the southwestern third of the Colony of Louisiana more or less. Many unsettled lands which were ocasionally visited by spanish priests and had sparse presidios (garrisoned villages) which later on were territories of the independent Mexico are shown as french dependencies in the map.

Good effort by the way, I can't imagine myself immersed into this kind of work.

I don't know if these have been addressed already, but there are a few issues I have with this:

1) All of Italy had been outside the Holy Roman Empire since 1648, so Tuscany, Milan, Genoa, Modena and Parma need to be removed from that bonus. Additionally, Swedish Pomerania and the Duchy of Holstein were still in the HRE at this time, so they need to be put back in.

2) Ireland had the same political status as Hanover, so the fact that one of them is the same colour as England and the other not is slightly strange

3) Parts of the Upper Palatinate weren't trolled by Bavaria until the 1770s, but this really only affects a single territory n this map, so it's not that important.

4) The Kingdom of England and Kingdom of Scotland didn't exist after the acts of union in 1707, they were just regions by this point. I'd just suggest simply changing the bonus names to "England" and "Scotland".


Aside from that, this looks like a really good map. It's historically accurate, well-balanced and should be interesting to conduct games on. Good job!

I like history, so I will be as much help as possible. You might want to increase the English Channel Bonuses. Those were key to the war (Maybe include a few more islands, too, just for the effect). Also, you might wanna make Prussia a tad bit stronger. They absorbed the might of the French land campaign. Also, make the English Native Americans and the French Native Americans one person. It'll make it more interesting.

Miqmak lands somehow connects to Wyandot lands

How is it going? ;)

I hope it is not dead...
