This is Flanders. Everything east of the Scheldt is German domain.
Everything west of the Scheldt is French domain.

Ghent (Germany): 7

While it is true that Ghent had some parts of the city located on the eastern side of the river, it cannot be denied that the biggest part of the city was located on the French domain.

If you use google maps on Ghent for example you'll clearly see that the city centre can be entirely found on the eastern side of the river and not the western side. Is it really that smart to classify Ghent as a part of Germany if the biggest part of it is not located within these boundaries?

Alright, I'll change it.

@Zephyrum: Okay, I will up Novgorod. I'm also happy to add Venice, but what value do you think it should be? As for Ethiopia, good point, I will look into it. Finally, I'll consider Athens, but it may be bad for balancing to have it.

For Venice, at this time, it was still growing, so a 6~8 should be fine. 7 maybe?

As for Athens hurting balancement, I really don't think balancement should be the focus here. A good scenario maker will be able to make a template by nerfing and buffing bonuses; the more cities you represent, the more versatile is the map.

I for one have a really hard time making a game with Bulgaria in the 30YW map due to the lack of cities in it's region.

And the greek region is completely desolate despite being quite rich at the time.

Chernigov was probably the third or fourth weightiest borough in Kiev. I think it was second wealthiest borough in the country. I'd rid fully Novgorod-Seversk, it was only first aforesaid in 1044, and never was that weighty. Pereiaslav should be in, though, it was very weighty, and Rostov was also a weighty borough. Also, Polotsk and Murom were also weighty.

Just a question-

are the Khazars still around by now?

Nevermind- but where are the Cumanz

I don't think I'll add the Cumans - they were really just a tribal confederation. What I mean by that is that I won't include them as a bonus, but I will still add larger territories north of the Black Sea.

PS: I know I haven't done anything for the last couple of days, I've been a bit busy. I'll try and get some done today.

Forgive me for asking, but:

1. What about the Pomeranian/Wallachian/Highland areas of the map? They don't have much, yet there were nations.
2. Will there be any more addition to the land between Alodia, Makuria, and Ethiopia?
3. Um... I forgot

1) I will include territories for those lands, but they will be large and be in large bonuses. The main point of them would just be so scenario makers could make games that work for the rest of the Middle Ages, not just he 11th Century.

2) Probably not, I can't find enough contemporary borders or city names to do so.

I had a big discussion about pomerania with zx, and we concluded they were just tribes at that point

Don't expect much more names from me, I'm going to be pretty busy.

Saraushta -> Saurashta

Kutch is not an island, on most maps, even though it is seasonal, probably the water is just more of a marsh, not really stopping anyone to go through it.

KS3 -> Patan
KS2 -> Sabarkantha
KS4 -> Bharuch
KS5 -> Sanjan

Inner Gujarat (bonus) -> Gujarat

Some latitude and longitude lines are helpful, in case I do come back for more naming. Also, I recommend filling all the map except the fully undwelled lands.

A cool "twist" would be to turn this map so that South becomes North (upsidedown, as that was common in mapping of the time). Or, since this relates to the Crusades, to turn it to the East (Yerushalem is to the east of Europe), as was oft in European mapping, as well.

Can I test this?

Sure, I'll add you to the list.

Does anyone know of any maps of the Tibetan Kingdoms?

I love all your maps! Sign me right up for testing!

Can i test this?

BTW Gangas should be Ganges to not be confused with a different place in india

Edited 5/10/2016 03:27:23

No it shouldn't, the Ganges is farther north.

This is what "Gangas" describes: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eastern_Ganga_dynasty

oh ok nvm

Tibet seemed to be fractured at this time.

Also, why is there a Christian Khanate?

Yes, I've just noticed that. I'll change it to a kingdom.

The question was more "why is it Christian" than "it's a kingdom, not a khanate"

If you haven't added me to the test list, I'm in.
