Is the map going to be RISE OF PRUSSIA density or rather End of all Wars?
I think ROP map was fantastic and gave proper operational dimension...

For the choice Ageod have made of a grand strategy game where campaigning is obviously central, but not the be all of the whole game, it makes sense. Of course my dream was of an operational game with ROP type size for provinces, and map that would have been more limited, even divided into several maps for different scenarios or DLCs :
- A main map going from Normandy/Paris/Lyon/Marseille to the Niemen (west-east) and from Danemark to the North to Rome /Belgrade in the south. By my estimate this would make it around 4000 provinces big, with off-map boxes for St Peterburg, Moscow, Malta, etc...
- A Peninsular Map going from Gibraltar to Bordeaux more or less 1000/1200 provinces.
- An Egypt/eastern mediterranean Map going from Cyrenaica to Bagdad and from Asyout to Sofia to play the Egypt expedition with off map boxes again for Malta, Ukraine and other Russian provinces, etc. That would be around 2500/3000 provinces (lots of work for a single campaign, but hey).
These would be the proper scales for an operational game, but as said by the Phils, in a grand strategy game, the scale chosen feels like a good compromise.
