Italy, Greece & surronding Islands, Asia Minor, Middle east, India, Northern Africa, Spain, gaul, Germany, balkans, scandinavia, british isles and the far east steepes.

Heres my current progress

Thermopylae Done

[SGZ***71]

Thanks for the offer vae victis SPQR but I'm enjoying the whole process and I'll stick to "ClassicalWorld "

Completed Sicily, minus the one punic settlement as i haven't retextured houses or building yet
http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=895001634

Some key settlements and areas of the island:
Sycracuse, the largest settlement and most important, it lies on the south border of the island, with an impressive port and strong walls, this settlement is an essential part of the region

A marsh to the west of the island breaks up the mountain terrain and splits the greeks and phonecians

A mixed etruscan/Greek settlement lies next to the marsh and the punic settlement making the area very contested

Between the Mount Etna and the punic settlements to the west, a mountain fort with greece/etruscan mercenary soldiers training.

Looks awesome!

With sicilly done, i've started to plot the entire maps cities, so far i've gotten about 150 settlements down, spanning across most of italy, greece, spain, north africa and the black sea area
while not permanent, it does show just how vast this world will be, with such an ambitous mod i'd be happy to take any help given

Sipontum, a small but important town in the marshes of Cannae

And lastly, The city of Cannae.
This city is both grand and important, as it controls the route to the ports to greece.
historically, it's the site of a major roman defeat at the hands of hannibal during the 2nd punic war, with some estimates putting roman losses in the 70,000s with a further 10,000 captured

Here are some key areas

Looking great. I'm possibly looking forward to playing your mod as much
as mine ! It looks from one of your screenshots that your map is even vaster than the "Roman Empire Map" provided by Fristi61 that I'm working on. Is that correct ?
