haha, I thought I was the only one.

Most of Europe was virtually the same border-wise between 1901 and 1914, but the Balkans.... totally changed. Whoa Ottoman Empire.

Being a map guru, it hurts a little bit, but suspension of disbelief works wonders.

I KNOW! Albania didn't even exist! Turkey would be so much better if real 1901 borders were used. There'd probably have to be an extra Balkan supply center, but could you imagine a Turkish homecenter that could build a fleet in the Adriatic? It'd be a real player.

I think the idea is that it actually starts at 1914 but the year 1901 is used for ease of gameplay, so its easy to follow how long it has been.

Yes, it's just used for simplicity.

If you want to pay attention to detail that much, Friendly, you should add Norway to Sweden as well.

As per the designer, it was strictly for simplicity in counting turns.

If we want to deal with map problems can we deal with the Islands?
Iceland belongs to Clyde... shouldn't it be denmark or norway? Also, there is an island (can't recall its name) that belongs to Livonia on the small map but (accurately) belongs to Sweden. Corsica should be French and Sardinia should be Italian. Perhaps Crete should be Greek as well. Obviously this is just a colour issue but it annoys me a tiny bit.

The thing that gets my goat is how X's only appear for standoffs in the fall for some reason >:(

Centurian, I think the name of the isand is Gotland

If it starts in 1901 then Crete not changing color is accurate. There was an "independent" Cretan state for a surprisingly long time.

That island by Sweden annoys the hell out of me too. I can see not coloring the Mediterranean islands because then some bozo will think you can invade Naples or Rome from the Western Mediterranean, but that one ought to be changed. I don't know how, and it might be a really complicated computer thing, but that looks like one inaccuracy that can be fixed.

I though I was the only one to get mad about that xgong-

Centurian. I raised that point a while ago and people screamed at me saying that would confuse people. I'm like... geography is pretty straightfoward. But I totally agree.

As to the borders. They are just regions that divide Europe, and the 1901 thing is just for numerical ease of use.

Tunis.

rumania

BTW albania did exist in 1914. montenegro did as well, i think it's the only inaccuracy

Albania didn't exist in 1901. Not independently, at least.

If we're gonna count Montenegro we might as well count Monaco and Andorra and Liechtenstein and Luxembourg and make Switzerland accessible and give England Gibraltar...

åland Island the one off the Swerish coast) does change colour!

And Yes, Gibraltar should be English from the start!!!!!!!!!

And Tunis should be French

And it should be Tunisia as per the nomenclature of all the other neutral SC territories.

We do want an even game remember guys? Otherwise British armies from India might start attacking the Turks from behind.
