The provinces for Pula and Rijeka get Italian names, but Zadar and Split get Croatian ones (rather than Zara and Spalato). Somewhat inconsistent.

But the map looks really good. :licklips:

They really should just call everything English/Swedish/whatever the local version may be to stop that sillyness.

This map does not suck!

Then colour me amazed, as the more I look at the Hearts of Iron III map when considering the mods I am working on (half-heartedly) the more pissed off I get. You'd think they could at least patch away Lake Volta (which didn't exist until the 1960s.)

The map for Vicky 2 actually does look quite good, I agree.

Poor Bavaria.  Only 4 soldiers and a cannon to defend them.  Also a significant number of them have Lima beans for brains apparently.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Hope springs eternal--that shot of the political stuff looks really nice, as does the overall interface.

I am tempted...
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

I'm going to get it of course. Even though it is bound to be unsatisfactory in one way or another.......it is a very ambitious project.

The military reserve system appears to have been scrapped, with the replacement TBD.  This is concerning assuming the game is intended to reach into the WW1 era.

I agree that the interface looks nice though.

Wouldn't the best way be to have a military reserve be a researchable technology?

If you let someone handcuff you, and put a rope around your neck, don't act all surprised if they hang you!

- Eyal Yanilov.

Forget about winning and losing; forget about pride and pain. Let your opponent graze your skin and you smash into his flesh; let him smash into your flesh and you fracture his bones; let him fracture your bones and you take his life. Do not be concerned with escaping safely - lay your life before him.
