Okay, I've fixed that.

Open question here. In much of Central Europe, there's often more than one name for a city, as it's in different languages. So far, I've been converting all the names into their German form, but now I'm coming onto the Crown of Hungary. Do you think I should convert the names into Hungarian (because it's Hungary) or convert them to German (because it's ruled by Austria)?

German.

They name can be even croatian, slavonian, hungarian, slovakian and ruthenian. Or if not the names but the bonus regions can be even Croatia, Slavonia, Hungaria, Slovakia, Ruthenia.

This map maybe not help to split the regions but very similar with yours:

And this map shows the western border of Transylvania both before and after the Thirty Years War



Something like this was Transylvania in 1645

Nice bonuses I notice only some naming issues. Kaposvár was in Ottoman territory under the Balaton, and Dunaújváros just didnt existed because built in 1951 after WW2. And many other names misplaced.

My name changing suggestions:
Kaposvár -> Varasd
Dunaújváros -> Veszprém
Veszprém -> Sopron
Érd -> Győr
Pozsony -> Komárom
Miava -> Pozsony
Simony -> Nyitra
Rajec -> Trencsény
Rimaszombat -> Nógrád
Rozsnyó -> Rimaszombat
Bystrica -> Beszterce
Kassa -> Eperjes

Or you can use slovakian names in north (hun-slo, Nyitra-Nitra, Trencsény-Trencin, Zsolna-Zilina, Rózsahegy-Ružomberok, Beszterce-Bystrica, Eperjes-Presov)

And do not redraw if you dont want but I have to tell that Budapest was in the Ottoman side, a little bit south-east from there, at the top of turkish land. Habsburgs conquered just later in 1686.

Well Done. Now is precise. Just it seems you confused the central and south bonus.

If you let me few other suggestions I think Ardeal(orange) and Partium(blue) would be ideal bonuses for Transylvania, and if you place city in Transylvania than Kolozsvár(purple) would be good historic and strategic center.

And also would be cool if two territories in Ardeal can represent the Szeklerland (Székelyföld) and Saxonland (Siebenbürgen). These are the blue and yellow regions in the eastern edge.

Okay, thanks for the help. But I think I'm going to try and finish the colonial theaters, Denmark-Norway, and Sweden before I do Transylvania.

Why did you put the Shetland Isles in that box? There's no need because you don't get to reduce the height of the map by putting it there.

Yeah, the reason I did that was because the map in't big enough to include Iceland, so I need to put Iceland in a box in the top-left. This requires moving Shetland south and into a box. Does this answer your question?

I'm going to be away for the next week, so we're not going to see any progress on the map until then.

I would like to test, looks pretty good so far!

I'm back.

And the test game is on. People who signed up, check the dashboard / 'my games'

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.
