Is the Levant really that lopsided?

Also, all of the provinces in europe are still pretty much the same as Troll´s. That is what he is opposed to, so you could merge or split some of them or reshape them.

I could but Troll even suggested to add Levant,
And yes they are that "lobsided" according to google maps.

if you add rivers and lakes the map will have and perhaps add more of middle east and africa like you intended for 2nd version merge them to one

scratch that forget last post

i like what you did with russia, turkey and the levant.

are the gray areas in russia kazakhstan? if so, making the territories neutrals with names showing they are part of kazakhstan might be useful? it could be a bit confusing otherwise.

would adding 2-3 territories for iraq and iran (worth 1) be bad?

Now, that map is starting to look sexy! Please don't add those superbonuses (0 is ok for me). That may be a map for balanced strategic 4vs4 or even 5vs5 play!

Update: Troll has just given the thumbs up! The map can go Public!!!

Before it does though I'd like some help balancing it:)

@szeweningen- superbonuses will always stay at 0 on default.
@Evreux - They grey is russia not kazakhstan.

Invite me please to a multi-day test (if there's going to be one), probably 4vs4 random warlords 4 starters would be good.

What do you think about N africa, N france and levant bonus?

I can't spot any important imbalances (since the map is big and designed for larger team games small imbalances are not important). At the moment I'd suggest to go into testing phase and players will comment while playing. France and Italy are kinda useless at the moment, but that's how it was before, they'll serve primarily as attack routes. Scotland, eastern spain and new eastern europe will bring major changes in the gameplay. I definitely like that map much more than europe 1600 which was the first attempt of resizing europe.

I want to test!

Invite me please to a multi-day test!

i want to test both pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
