1. I will soon finish the map for my mod, excluding the realms of the dreaded Swabia. I find it very difficult to draw it out, mainly because it's made up of small states, so I will be taking ideas in several categories:


What buildings/units/provinces are important to the HRE that you think would enhance gameplay?
I would appreciate to learn what exactly people want, so what features could possibly be added to the mod to make it more entertaining?

2. As I mentioned before, I am having trouble with Swabia. Even the recent map does not show the entire region to detail, I have several lists of Swabian states but no maps so I don't know how to place them as of yet. Any maps provided I would gladly accept, but the more detailed the better. I would end up finishing the mod either way, but with at least 1 good detailed map, I could finish the mod faster and more detailed.

Thanks, remember all I need is a detailed map of Swabia and/or suggestions to enhance KoH (Realistic) that I could add to the mod.

how many provinces do you plan to have in Swabia?

if 5+ I think there shoud be at least Baden, Würtenberg, Briegsau and Burgau, and something around Ulm... (call it Swabia or how ever you want)

very imperfect maps of HRE and France (http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/showpost.php?p=4890177&postcount=7)

Thanks for the map!

5 provinces, I was planning maybe 40? What about the Imperial cities, Teutonic estates, Hospitallier farms, Abbeys, Cathedrals and other tiny states?

This is what makes it difficult, Vanilla KoH maps often put massive European regions as provinces, in this mod I plan to focus on the details, include the top 150 most important states in the HRE (this is just half of the states that actually existed, around 300 existed historically)

40 provinces just in Swabia? you are joking aren't you?

Imperial cities? Ulm, Augsburg (though belongs more or less also to Bavaria) with it's bishopric estates, Speyer (which might be considered as part of Pfalz) and Ravensburg.. also Alsace was part of Swabia and could have 3 parts: Strassburg, Colmar and Mülhausen/Mulhouse

Well, 40 is slightly exaggerated, perhaps 30-35, I want to include as many states as possible. That is why I am looking for a good map, I have a list of states in the Swabian Imperial circle after the Imperial Reform, it numbers around 80. I would have attempted to add 90% of them to the KoH, but there are not enough provinces, infact there are enough states in the HRE to have a Swabia scenario!

wow! That is too much for me.
Well you can always make a fiction right?
Just stayed on the course of history as long as you can. Same as KoH. The one that rule is the Fun right?

Yes, but I won't make them all, though I would have loved too, the main problems is that

1) I need a larger map

2) I need over 300 provinces.

And That's Hard, Right?

No, it's impossibly (literally), KoH maximum map size only allows 168 provinces.
