Improving my map of Greece

You could make chalkidike chalkidean (ie owned by Chalkis, Euboia if you want to have it as the entire island. Most of the cities were their colonies i think)
 
Most of the Chalcidice though was eventually carved up by Spartan and Athenian interests after the decline of Chalcis and Eritrea though. Then the Chalcidice came under control of Olynthia, before the League was founded. Besides, many Greek states founded colonies everywhere.

You could combine Ephesus and Miletus into Ionia, and then leave the last slot open for Achaea, Phokis, or the Amphiktiony.

I also reckon you should replace Achaean Phthiotis with Thessaly.
 
I think I will let Chalcidice as a separated civ. I know it's not really acurate, but it will be better for the gameplay.

That would make only 6 civs in Turkey and 7 in Peloponnese. And Thebe, Athinaï and Aetolia are close too. I don't know if the game would still be balanced...

What would be its leader, traits and capital city ? Would it be Larissa ? I would really like to have Achilles in :D

I agree with your points, we can merge little civs into larger ones. But a balanced gameplay is essential to me. I don't want to have every civs located in a single area. ;)
 
True. But you could always give the crowded regions more resources and stuff :D OK, maybe not.

As for the whole Thessaly thing, it is just Achaean Phthiotis included whilst the other provinces aren't isn't logical IMO. You could always make Achilles an MGL :)

I hope that this doesnt mean that Doris isnt in your mod!

δεν ειναι ενα "μοδ", this is not really a mod. You and I know how difficult it is to make a mod ;)

No, I didn't put Doris in? Should I ?

Please, people, tell me what would be your selection of 31 civs.
 
:D It was just a joke ;) Doris was a very small nation in south-central Greece.
However you could have Argos in, i dont remember if it was in your list. You have Mycenae, but perhaps you should replace them with Argos, since Mycenae had other cities which later became independent and powerfull (i think Athens was one of them as well). But i dont insist ;)
 
Both Mycenai and Argos are in.

Here's my second proposal. Actually, I don't think I will change anything to this list, except for those in italic : Thessalia, Phthia and Iolcos. I want 3 civs between Thebes and Chalkidike, but I still hesitate. The rest of the map seems balanced to me.

northern Greece : 5
Illyria, Thrakia, Makedonia, Chersonesos, Chalkidike

central Greece : 7
Athinaï, Thebes, Epirus, Aetolia, Thessalia, Phthia, Iolcos

Peloponnese : 6
Mycenai, Sparta, Argos, Corynth, Elis, Messenia

Turkey : 7
Troy, Phrigia, Lydia, Bithynia, Ionia, Eolia, Caria

islands : 6
Ithika, Kerkira, Kriti, Euboea, Dodecanision ( Samos+Rhodes ), Kyklades

@Varwnos : παρακαλω, could you give me the correct greek names ?
 
you could change some of those to the following:
Thevai (since you have Athinai)
Epeiros (Epirus)
Sparte (it sounds strange, since a is dorian, but i think it was called Sparte and not Sparta, at least we always say Sparte and not once Sparta)
Korinthos (Corinth)
Troia (Troy)
Aiolia (Eolia)
Karia (Karia)
Ithake (Ithaka)
Krete (better this way i think, i use E to replace Heta, and Iota for I)
Euboia (Euboea)
Dodekanesa (Dodecanese) But Samos is, i think, in the Cyclades. I would suggest that Rhodos is in some league with the asia minor civs, and you have Samos, Melos, Delos and some other in the cycladic civ. Rodos had 3 cities, but i dont know if it can be a very important civ in your game.
A possible replacement would be Megara. Infact Megara are very important, and were a main power in the age of colonisation.
 
It's was a very difficult choice ! It breaks my heart, but I have to let some very good ideas :cry: Megara, Samos, Achaea, Akarnania, Mytileni, Lycia,... I know I didn't keep the most important, but I didn't want to have a crowded Peloponnese.

The final civ list is in post#1.

Now, I need complete informations about those civs :

leader
traits ( + often builds... )
favourite / shunned gov.
military and gret leaders
scientific leaders
city list

We may also work on "rejected" civs. Maybe someone could need it. But please give priority to the 31 civs of the list.
 
But Megara isnt in the Pelloponese, it is in central Greece, or what you call that region.
Im not really sure that you need illyrians in your map. But its your project so your choice as well :)

Improve it? It is a tall order even reading it! :lol:
I think that he will use the ones in my unfinished pw mod, which he has dled, and then place cities in asia minor and northern Greece from your list & maps :)
 
Waow ! Thank you Mongoloïd Cow !

@Vawrnos, Megara was a good proposition, but it's stuck between Attike and Peloponision. I'm affraid there's allready too much civs in that area. But.....

We might create a second map, without caring about gameplay balance ! This mod would focus on colonization byt some crowded areas. What do you think ?
 
I am not too keen on the idea of making another greek map, but if you want you can use any of the two i have made and add northern areas, although this will make them utterly huge :|
 
I think what I said wasn't clear :(

We might make two improved versions of my map. One with a well balanced gameplay and an other with major civs, wherever they are. So, people can choose the one they prefer. They could even make their own because they have all biq informations they need.
 
Here's more Anatolia...
