Alexanderhaven would be at the size and location of the Balkans, while I intend for the Salenitian Empire to take up the rest of mainland Europe that is left.

Cologne and Karlsburg are Salenitia's overseas colonies, so they would be taking up the New England and Newfoundland.

Kasnyia will be....somewhere.

That's all taken, in theory.

Personally, I'm of the opinion that everyone scale down slightly, as having super empires ruins the potential for many ethnic groups.

The French are different from the Spanish from the Italians, but having them all be Catholic Europe is disconcerting. Same with Kiev-Volhynia. The Baltic states are interesting in their own right. Why are Ukranians occupying Germany and Poland, anyway?

Free Thule is mixing the Finns with the Swedes and Norwegians, etc.

Bessentia has removed any potential German vs French RP.

Telosan grabbed the North African coast, so no Berber nations...

Sigh.

I'd like to propose a map divided into small sections, and people can choose up to ten or fifteen, with the option to expand freely.

Right now it seems people are going to start out big, and just get bigger. Telosan is already fishing around for more land and shit.

Also, keeping in mind that most of us will have populations in the 1 million to 50 million range, who the hell is living on this land? We must have a density of .00001 persons per square kilometer.

Why don't we use the system planned for Rex Mundi?

What so I can't have uber territory and everyone else can? The maps show clear land, and that is where I stated my territories are. Dunno what the problem is. It certainly is smaller than a good deal of other territories there.

Nor do I care about RL existing cultures when it comes to geography since I have always had my own unique vaguely Western European culture anyway...

OOC: That's not the problem, Kas, the problem is that the territory you request is already owned by other Empires. If you have your heart set on those territories, PM their owners.

If its owned by oters, why do the maps not show this? Give an updated map with all taken territories marked rather than ask me to pick an area and then tell me I can't have it.

I don't know what you're seeing, Kas. There's no unclaimed territory in Europe. It's all colored in.

And Huesca if you want less land, go ahead and take less land. About the time you try dictating what others can take once they already have it, you're gonna start stepping on peoples toes in a big way. I've put in quite a lot of work on what I have currently, and I'm not really in the mood to re-envision my nation's whole history.

Okay hold on, I see whats going on.

When I say newfondland, I mean that island just south of mainland newfoundland. Where St. John island is located.

When I say Balkans and rest of Europe, I mean former Yugoslavia for Alexanderhaven and the rest of untaken Europe for Salenitia.

And I still claim New England area.

I'm not trying to dictate anything, I'm just saying that these huge empires ruin a lot of potenital nations simply by their sheer size, which has nothing to do with the game anyway. Everyone is taking huge swaths of land for their penis envy ("gimme the rest of unclaimed europe"), rather than for any specific desire to RP a people or culture.

Is there a specific reason why the Byzantines must control all of Egypt and parts of India, and somehow sacrifice their identity when restricted to Greece, the Balkans, Anatolia, and maybe Judea?

Catholic Europe isn't even playing, in all probability (I PMed him two weeks ago about Occitania, and havn't even gotten a response), and he's still getting a huge part of Europe which alone would be interesting.
