So, I have some things to say (if anyone is still working on this mod ...) :
- first, I tested the mod with the non-broken and most recent version of this mod (SoIX.rar of 2014-08-24), I will test the "broken" version after (the SoIxBroke.rar of 2016-05-20)
Why the v0.1 of June has never been released ?
- also, in the idea, for the Bulgarians, you could use Tsar Simeon's leaderhead, available in RFCE, and there's enough place to put them some tiles above Adrianoupolis and Konstantinoupolis, on the coast, the greek name of the city is Rusokastron ; Bulgarian core may be this city + Adrianoupolis + Plovdivy ?
- for the Venetians, in addition of what has been said, look at this map :
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Repubblica_di_Venezia.png -> delete Arta and put Buthroto (I talk also about it in the post below) 1 tile SE in order to put Kephalonia (see
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cephalonia#History ) on the island
> make Myrina, Rusokastron & Naxos (more below) Byzantine cties at the beginning of the game, because with the Venetian map, I have an idea for Venetian territory :
> core : Cyprus, Crete, Naxos, Kephalonia
> border : Myrina, Rhodos, Kallipolis, Morea, Athens, Scutari, Dyrrachion
Not all the regions, but only a few cases around these cities, according to the Venetian territory
- I found some missing city names :
> Sidi Rafaa -
Balagrae (read this because I'm not sure :
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beida,_Libya#History and see on the map), or
Apollonia /
Sozusa /
Susa ->
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apollonia,_Cyrenaica
> Al-Qahira
- Memphis
> Al-Minya -
Oxyrhynchos / Oxyrrhynchoupolis (orthograph may be revised)
> Denizli -
Laodikeia
for Byzantins (that's what I found, but you can also find other suggestions & compare with the map I've found)
I'll continue my Byzantine game even if I won it, in order to find other missing names
> a city 4-5 tiles on the right of Otrar with Timurids (no name), there's a lot of choices for the Timurid translation, see this map :
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samanid_Empire#/media/File:Transoxiana_8th_century.svg and this article :
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sayram_(city)
- finally, I saw an invasion of Muhammad Shaybani when I played Timur, but as barbarian (because Khwarezmid shahdom collapsed a few turns after I spawned), it's curious that i was too stable for Shaybanid rebearing, but there was anyway a barbarian invasion ̂ ̂
