I feel like there is an evil irony for Romans to name entire World in Latin, but Italia ended up as Sicilia, the first ever province of Roman Republic. And Eternal Roma city has to be found in Sicilia territory...:undecide:

What name could we use?

What name could we use?
Italia, the ancient name of the Italian peninsula, which is also eponymous of the modern republic, originally applied only to a part of what is now Southern Italy.
 
Might be prudent to just label them Italia Septentrionalis and Italia Meridiana, as one could argue that the south should be Italia because of the above, or that the north should be Italia as it corresponds with the Kingdom of Italy within the Holy Roman Empire and it feels weird to have only half of Italy be Italia.
 
Here's the suggestions for the last region - South America! Net +3 regions overall.

Don't mind the shadowy lines - that was just me trying to sort out national borders as reference points.

Only Guiana, Amazonia, Paraensis, and Pantanal should be tropical. Brasilia Australis should be grassland-y, and Caatinga should be just a bit drier than that.

Spoiler Some Ocean Notes/Suggestions :
76 -> Antarctic Circumpolar Current/Flumen Circumpolare Antarcticum
Flumen Peruvianum -> Gyrus (Oceani) Pacifici Australis
2 -> Flumen Cromwellianum
Oceanus Atlanticus Australis and 87 -> Divide into three portions (instead of two as now); from west to east: Flumen Brasiliense; Oceanus Atlanticus Australis; Flumen Benguelense
138 -> Flumen Agulhas
40 -> Magnus Sinus Australianus

Is there any reason you have chosen 8 player map vs 10 players one as a test map? With TLC mod it would be nice to see how two Olmec cultures progress in New World with all these new territories..

yes, it's faster to set up, there are (external to the editor) steps needed to set 10 players.
 
If you want to go full latin nomenclature you could use "Italia Annonaria" for the north and "Italia Suburbicaria" for the south
 
I think this should finish up the last of the ocean provinces!

Also took the opportunity to smooth out some lines - but feel free to ignore if you prefer the current ones!

Additionally, please note a slight tweak to the Sri Lanka territory name.

Just realized I forgot to note that the X's on my map indicate that I'd recommend removing a mountain at this location

thanks, I'll use that if no one disagree.
 
Personally, Annonaria/Suburbicaria feels a little obscure/specific-to-one-particular-time-period to me, but I must say it does fit the region pretty well, so I wouldn't be opposed.

(Semirelatedly, in the interest of smoother borders, maybe give that northern mountain in Sicily/Suburbicaria to Langobardia/Annonaria?)
 
Can't find names that include "Italia" while not mentioning geographical position and fitting those provinces
 
Ok, thank you very much, final check

I tried, but I do prefer the Mediterranean Biome for this mountain.
 
Looks great! How close did we come to hitting the territory limit, I wonder - it feels like we got pretty close there.

How close ?

Well...

I also still plan to add the option to automatically spawn an outpost on the starting position to "force" some cultures to be selected. Meaning we could have a version with 10 players reserving the 10 initial cultures, and 6 extra nomadic tribes. But the Middle-East would be very crowded on such a setting (and Assyria would move to Syria)

I think with some reshuffling of borders, we could get an extra Upper Mesopotamia (Mesopotamia Superior)/Assyria/Kurdistan province in there that would potentially allow for both Babylon and Assyria to exist. If that would be desirable, I can draw up some potential ideas - I think basically it would entail taking Anatolia/Armenia and turning it into Lydia/Cappadocia/Assyria

Could be difficult, territories are already quite small in the area, but I'm open to suggestions.

Used a different starting picture, but should still hopefully be of use!

Spoiler Some before-and-after size statistics :
Anatolia 33 25
Armenia 34 26
Mesopotamia 29 25
Transcaucasia 18 19
Persia 26 27
Media 32 28
Upper Meso. N/A 24


Additionally, it should give a bit more space for Hattusa to not be right on the border and equalizes the territory size in the region a bit. Furthermore, it solves the issue of whether or not the Armenia territory contains the Armenian core.

I noticed while doing this that the map appears to be missing Lake Van and/or Lake Urmia. Both might not fit, but one should probably be there - probably best to sort out it out when tile/city naming comes into play, however. The geography here is a little skewed because the Caspian Sea and Persian Gulf don't line up as they do in real life.
