Poland was a Principality actually in the year 1000, it became a kindgome in exactly 1025. As for Pomerania it's really hard to say. To understand the problem you have to realise that in that time the borders weren't as clear as today and Pomeraninans were a very disorganised tribe. Poland waged and often times won wars against them, but I wouldn't say it really conquered Pomerania untill pheraps the 13th century.

I have a great idea: make a single bonus from Abodrites, Union of Veleti, and Pomerania. This represent the sovereignity of this region before the first two be parts of the Roman Empire as Billung March and Northern March, and before Pomerania be part of the Kingdom of Poland.

And make this with the baltic nations too.

Can you show a map about Poland's subregions (Silezia, Chrobatia, Mazovia)?

This is the new version, Im going to split Poland, Kiev, Pechenegs, and Bulgars, and still need a good source about Scandinavia.

About bulgaria, yea thats true, I am from greece and during byzantine history in school we learned those thing, as for france, I mean smaller and more territorities, not to make it bigger..., and yes i support the idea to expand the map to contain half turkey( maybe till ankyra or pontus)

update



I made a new french territory: Champagne. Now France have 8 territories, but I can give 3 more: Toulouse (2) and Barcelona, because these are semi-indepedent vassal states in 1000. (in this case I make a 4 bonus of Leon, Castilla, Navarra, Aragon)But if I make this than 11 territories not will be too much for a single bonus?

Or should I make a smaller bonus for the french core and a bigger bonus for the empire with vassal states? (In this case Bretagne, Flanders, and maybe Normandy will be vassal too)

I think France is good now with 8 territories. But I can't see how many territories Denmark has. I hope it's more than two.
And Wales needs another territory too.
But what about Ireland? If there would be a bonus for a unified Ireland I wouldn't think that would work. A bonus with 7 territories on the edge of the map will most likely be ignored.

i like it, its great, will balkans stay this way? no more territorities?

France: okay, now I let France as the last version

Denmark: I think too that Denmark need 3 or 4 territories. My first idea was 3 for Denmark, 4 for Sweden, 5 for Norway, but I realized that Norway was much smaller in the reality like in the original map, so now I think again the scandinavian region.

Wales: I think if Scotland has 3 territories, than the much smaller Wales needs just 2.

Ireland: I agree that a 7 bonus for Ireland is too much. Im thinking on 3 solutions: 2+2 or 2+3 or 2+2+2.

Balkan: Of course Balkan and all eastern bonuses will have more territories, just I want add some extra space in east and than will need to think again the east, this is why I waited with splitting. The next version will finish the east.

Thank for feedbacks guys, all ideas welcome.

How many of the bonuses only contain 2 territories? I counted 6. I suggest reducing this number to something like.. 4, or even better, 3. When it comes to strategic settings, we like the 2-territory 1 bonuses to be on the pathway to attack a larger bonus, or a means to border a larger bonus from more than 1 front. Wales doesn't succeed in that function. It's hard to tell from this sketch about the playability in more strategic settings, so whenever you have a test draft up in Warlight, I'd very much like to help do some tweaking, and I'm betting Gui and Szew would have more constructive responses than I would. Remember that in the end, this is a game so the end goal is something that is playable by a multitude of game-types, especially on strategic settings.

Leave the rectangle in Russia as a 1-territory bonus. Call it "The Icebox." Make it worth 10. Then this map will be the best.

I understand you Lolowut, just I want to make first a historically accurate map, and then think again in the viewpoint of warlight, and take the compromises between history and playability. Now Im finishing the east and the north and then I will be opened before any suggestions in order to playability.

Good joke Chameleon :)

I will love to text the map and the map look very good

Nice Map

This is the new version, try to finish Balkan soon.

nice work, invite me for beta plz :)

Invite me for test please. I was working on a custom scenario for the regular europe map, but it doesn't work as well.

Wasn't normandy its own country?

invite me for testing.

Darth Mylor, as I know Normandy was a viking settlement in the 9. century and the House of Normandy founded by Rollo who invaded north France and his descendants were the Dukes of Normandy who were vassals of the France Kings.

In 1000AD the Duke of Normandy was Richard II. who was vassal of Robert II. King of France, so Normandy was not an independent country but a duchy in 1000.

Ill try to finish map soon.

This is almost the final version. Im thinking on some changes in Russia and minor modifications in elsewhere too. What do you think about this version?



Are there any suggestions to change?
