Do you know that there were two more semi-independent Ottoman vassal state at the west coast of Black Sea? Budjak and Jedisan.


Maybe this fit into your concept, maybe not, I just noticed because saw that your map is not too detailed there.

What about Zaporigian Cossacks? It will be a single bonus? Or part of Poland? Or Russia?

I can include those vassals. The more accurate, the better.

As for the Cossask, here's what I think I should do. There will be a large Square bonus for Poland, Lithuania an the Cossaks. Poland and Lithuania will be the same colour, but the Cossacks will be a different colour. There will then be a Shield Bonus which include all three, which will be called "Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth" or Commonwealth of Poland-Lithuania."

Does anyone know what the regional capital of Egypt would've been during this time? Because I doubt it was still Alexandria by this point.

Cairo

Yup its Cairo.

btw gothenburg(sweden) isn't matched with bonus

Fixed.

Oland isn't assigned to the Sweden bonus, but it should be.

While we're on the topic, Oland -> Öland

Odessa founded by Catherine empress very later, in this time there was a turkish fortress named Khadjibey. Mariupol is also a modern name, it was Zhdanov in Soviet Union, Pavlovsk in Empire of Russia, in this time there was a cossack encampment named Kalmius. Melitopol founded later too, its tartar name was Kyzyl-Yar. The circassian name of Sochi was Ubykhia. In the place of Novorossiysk was an Ottoman fortress: Sujuk-Qale, maybe didnt existed in the 17. century but still closer than Novorossiysk wich founded only in 19. century. And Im affraid Sovietskiy is also a too modern name.

Some other contemporary naming suggestion in Budjak:
Bilhorod - Akkerman
Leova - Bender
Tartarbunary - Kilia
Cahur - Izmail

Жұқтыру and I have a chat set up where he tells me more accurate names for places, would you like to be in this chat too?

Sochi is Georgian land and it was called so for thousands of years until Soviets conquered it.

Sochi was founded in 1838, and Georgia at the time of this map was Ottomans (and vassals to North).

In this case I think I'll believe Lionheart - he's from Georgia.

Did some more research into this. Apparently, Georgia at this time was many semi-independent countries, falling under either Persian or Ottoman influence.
Also, Sochi was founded in 1838; look it up yourself. I'll provide an alternative name later.

So no changes need to occur now, then. The parts of this map that constitute Georgia are not in the Ottoman Empire bonus, but are in the Ottoman Influence bonus- which reflects their semi-autonimous state.

Is there a reason you didn't put colonies with the megabonuses, like "Dominions of the House Stuart" would include "New England" "English Settlements in the Bahamas" and "English Antilles"

Oh, it's because they weren't integrated with those respective Kingdoms. What I'll do is make one of those three sections in the top left for colonial empire bonuses.
