Helsinki would still be too close to St Petersburg. Maybe take Vienna 1E, so that it still gives Italy some more room? Poland will go for Warsaw anyway. Hopefully. Other than that, it seems nice, the rework in general. Will you rework the Mediterranean as well? Just wondering.

New map looks very good. Some suggestions for Finland:
-Marshes are good, but maybe there could be forests on them? Although marshes/swamps/bogs couldn't be farmed or urbanized, they usually provided timber or peat.
I wrote this down quite many times already, but please hear my advice. Budapest should be named Buda and only in 1873 (source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Budapest#Etymology) or when you research industrialism should it be renamed to Budapest.
No, it doesn't make sense to release them before adjusting spawns and settler maps and city name maps, and I cannot start making them before the map changes are final.
As mentioned earlier, I really likes these changes, a huge improvement over the current map and way more realistic - especially the Luleå-area is way better now. Only issue I can think of is Stockholm not really being worth settling - 1S seems to be better, in combination with Luleå, but I can't think of a solution for it, and I may be mistaken. Oh well. And the placement of Bergen is quite weird, given that in reality it's basicly on a straight line west of Oslo - but I guess there's not much to do about that as well.

How about Finnhorse/Hakkapeliitta? It could be on spot where Helsinki is now or 1E to also give production boost to Sankt-Peterburg. I would like idea to Sweden have access to horses -> cavalry units, only when they control Finland.
- maybe Vienna 1W?
- maybe wheat, cow near Amsterdam should spawn later?
- move Hungarian iron?
- additional resource for St. Petersburg? maybe move cow near Riga there
- maybe deer north of St. Petersburg?
I'm still unsure about the points with question marks. Comments welcome.
-Vienna 1W would make room for Budapest and slightly balance the possible super Frankfurt, so 1W sounds good.
-These tiles are heavily contested and most likely to be often raced, so it doesn't really matter, if you want to take the time I guess
-Hungarian Iron could become Austrian iron, 1S of the new Vienna tile?
-St. Petersburg should have Rigan cow in its reach and an additional food resource spawning at 1700

Finnish horse would be quite historical and the Swedish Empire really needs it, especially in the 1700 scenario. It could be 1W or 1NW of Helsinki; or even on the Helsinki tile to be in reach of St. Petersburg, if Helsinki isn't present.
Vienna 1W would look really ugly and geographically wrong. No matter how you look map Vienna is east from Berlin, not in west. Instead move Prague to 1E and Warsaw 1N. To Balance out Frankfurt France should found Strasburg.
And tundra in Eastern Karelia should be replaced by grassland all the way till Lappland. No matter how you look map it is not Siberia ice waste but forest covered green land.
Don't think Vienna should go 1W, putting it above the Alps would just be wrong.
If anything, Budapest should go on the oil, as Pest was always the larger part of the city, with Buda largely being the fortress and administrative buildings. Pest is 2/3 of Budapest, so it makes sense to put the city where most of it is relative to the river. Budapest is also directly south of Krakow, so that's geographically accurate on the map.
The iron could then stay where it is, as Austria will have iron from Frankfurt until 1700AD, and should have plenty of time to capture Budapest by then. In the 1700 scenario Austria can start with Vienna and Budapest, thus also having the iron already. The oil can move 1SW to reflect the Nagylengyel oil field which was the first one discovered in Hungary: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nagylengyel_oil_field
I agree that the wheat and cow near Amsterdam should appear in 1500AD, to prevent super Frankfurt.
Then 1SE definitely makes sense. Geographically accurate, outside Constantinople's BFC, and will make Budapest an important modern city with oil and aluminium.
