    Very nice map, but just a note you've left out the city of Trapezos which can be seen in some recent screenshots, east of Where you have Cabira (which btw has had its name changed to Amaseia).

    This is what i can say, Map has all its provinces and regions they are in right place and right shape, 120(maybe more) city names are correct (all the info was taken from things that CA published) there are few city names that i am not 100% sure thatthey are correct, all city positions are 100% correct, all in all as i say'd the map is 95% accurate, u can safly plan your conquest :) becasue map wont look any diffrently in game happy conquest!!

    Thanks for this map and nice work. Wished CA hadn't put Flevum on the map, makes no sense to me. Nobody knows for sure where it was and it was founded by the Romans (was a Castellum with harbor). I'd rather see something with a true 'barbarian' background in that region, or something more significant if they want to go 'Roman' in origin.

    Dont worry i will update it again i will fix all of that (its work in progress) i will get all the new screenshots just keep posting what you think i should add, update, fix... i cant get everything on my own. I am also planning to add those 7 wonders of the world like the piramids and when you mouse over it a box will pop-out with the description, then icons of capital citys of the
    provinces will be different color will add more citys and their names, probably some new options, but right now i will take 1-2 days break
    and the next update will be even bigger (expect it max in a week). Thank you for support.

    Second thought Bagacum is wrong and this is probably Durocortorum. Even worse your Bagacum is very wrong and made me think it should be Durocortorum, but both are nowhere near the gold bar on the actual map shown in the videos..

    A minor thing, you have the regions of Hibernia and Caledonia mixed up. Caledonia is Latin for Scotland and Hibernia is Ireland. Noticed they have that mistake on the Iceni faction page as well.

    Didnt know that thank you, but then CA did it wrong to (on the iceni faction map and on the newly released map it says the same thing) in game its 1 province (2 regions), we will see.

    They're not mixed up: it's a single province of 'Caledonia et Hibernia' with two regions: Caledonia (Scotland) and Hibernia (Ireland). The province label goes over both, just like 'Hellas' goes over Attica, the Peloponnesus, and Crete.

    The 'et' in the province name though might be a little hard to see, since its in the Irish Sea.

    Sorry to disappoint you but that map is only an artistic' impression of the actual map and may have very little value if you look at it in detail. Bagacum is a settlement in Gallia Belgica of which Durocortorum was the 'capital' (both were previous Celtic settlements so could be used as cities for that regions). This city though is clearly in Germania Minor (Germania Inferior), so I really hope CA did not make such a mistake.

    Hey Darko, I see that you changed Camulodunon to Camulodunum. I was actually mistaken; Camulodunon was the Celtic name before the Romans occupied the city in the early 1st century AD.

    Oddly enough, in recent times Colchester has always been known as Camulodunum (the Roman name) instead of the Celtic one, even though the Celts long lived in Britain before the Romans, Normans, Anglo-Saxons, etc came along to invade Britain.

    Also, Camulodunon was never occupied by the Iceni; Boudicca, the Queen of the Iceni, sacked the colony not long after Emperor Claudius had come through the gates of Camulodunum on elephants!! The Iceni was one of many celtic tribes located in Britain; they were located in Norfolk (or north of the big 'bump' of England). I think because of their proximity to Camulodunon and as a result of Boudicca revolting against Roman rule, I think that is why CA decided to include them. I imagine she will become a character in the early part of the 1st century AD in Britannia. A queen on a chariot will be an awesome sight to see!!

    Hey mate well this is what i did when u told me i misspelled Camulodunon, first i got to iceni faction page compared it and it wasn't misspelled so i said lets see what google will say, and the google was on your side so i said bicause i am already updating it lets change if its wrong i will change it back, thank you for clarifying that up i will correct it in next update.

    Great map. Thanks.

    I notice that many regions are without cities, provinces such af Sarmetia, Scytica etc. Is there any information about emergent cities when the population within the region grows?

    Maybe scalable? So that you can zoom in a chosen point...

    Thats it! :)

    But also yeah, the map is to wide on the left and right sides (because of too much ocean and the scroll) - nothing against a little finetuning.

    And please change the colour of egypt and pontus already.^^
    My Top wishes for Rome 2:
    - Unit DLC: Pontus (needs Galatians) / Steppe tribes / Baktria (needs Indians) / Odrysian Kingdom / Armenia
    - Faction DLC: Cherusci, Helvetii,
    - Diplomacy/Clients: "annexing"-, "bribing-", "making peace with"- and "exchanging regions"-option
    - Depth/Features: family tree, deeper internal politics, ingame videos, historical events, late-game-tasks
    - UI: Bad! Fix skill and tech trees and make more atmosphere!
    - Fix sieges & blobbing and nerf agents!

    Keep up the good work @Darko. I check this thread every day. Some suggestion maybe you can make it scaleable like @Sasu said. Anyway I'm waiting for the next update ^_^
    Sometime you just need to relax

    My most wanted option in diplomacy "give region option" still hope it will finally make it in future patch.

    Ok making it scaleable and when u zoom in u get a hand cursor to drag it around (much like Windows photo viewer), Igor55 in the next update colors of egypt and pontus will be corrected dont worry :), btw what color is pontus now dark yellow/orange?

    You are missing Petrodava in Dacia. I don't think we will see Arbela on the map but Hatra. Next it seem Vindebona is Akink (Aquincum).

    Can i marry your map to expand it and make further spartan glory? into amarica?
    Xiphoi - The Spartan's shorter weapon proved deadly in the crush caused by colliding phalanxes formations – it was capable of being thrust through gaps in the enemy's shield wall and armor, where there was no room for longer weapons. The groin and throat were among the favorite targets. In one account, an Athenian asked a Spartan why his sword was so short and after a short pause he replied, "It's long enough to reach your heart
