News from Giochistarter : Medioevo Universalis

Probably the news has already reached any part of the world, but better confirm it on official way! Medioevo Universalis, the gargantual game made by Nicola Iannone, will be on Giochistarter! We still have to schedule the campaign, but probably it will be live on the first months of 2016.

Spread the news!

I went back to work on the 3D map because I have some free time ...

Here the combination of all the colors of the various Kingdoms: www.medioevouniversalis.org/phpBB3/viewt...=2063&p=16125#p15495

Now I'm starting to look at trees, snow-covered fir trees and palms to order, I thought of using those with the stand or those to be inserted into a small hole (I would do with a nail on the map); Capochino on his forum suggested me use magnets to hook / unhook them from the map, I found different solutions on this, from the magnetized sheets to the magnets thin: www.medioevouniversalis.org/phpBB3/viewt...=2063&p=16125#p16120
Does anyone have any other ideas?

Kingdoms coloration practically over, are missing only two small:

Next STEP will sauted all the borders between the territories.

I ordered the trees, snow-covered fir trees and palms (all high between 35 and 45 mm.), I will use the thin magnets glued to the pedestal and to the map:


I started to draw all the borders between the territories, it will be a very long work and patience:

Final corrections before publication by the Giochix...

I know that there are many errors in the names of the territories, it's something that I never corrected by 1999.
My territories do not correspond to the duchies, so it is not so easy ... the best solution would be to choose the Province/Region more important or more famous historically and use that name for the "macro-region "that I used to split the territories of my map.
If someone had the desire and time to verify the information here below, I would be very grateful.

Let's start with Spain, as usual...
I have some doubts:
- Aragon or Zaragoza? Probably better Aragon.
- Douro, Portucale and Coimbra? On BGG they had recommended Duoro, but also Portucale (which would be the first County that gave birth to the Kingdom of Portugal) should be fine.


I continue with France... probably will be made changes:
- "Fiandra" will become Flanders (sorry for this mistake).
- Orlean is perhaps a little too west, it is better to change its name and perhaps use the Maine.
- The Guyenne is better if I rename Aquitaine.
- The Lorena should become Lotaringia?
The rest should go pretty well:


With England I have some doubts...Probably should be made some changes, but I'm not sure:
- For Scotland, if I keep using Highlands and Lowlands, perhaps it would be better to use Uplands instead of Galloway.
- For England it is better to use Durham instead of Cumbria?
- Better Cornwall instead of Sussex?
- Better Yorkshire or York?
- In Ireland, better Desmond instead of Munster?


With Italy can not do much, at that time it was divided into small kingdoms / Lordships / republics / Communes ... impossible to represent all and difficult to give a name to each of my territories ...
I think the best solution is to leave everything as it is, using the names of regions enough important at the time ... I'm not sure that there was already the concept of "TRIVENETO", at best, we could correct for "VENETO".


Holy Roman Empire I have only one doubt...Lotharingia is probably a little too far south, but I would not know what name to give that territory ... PALATINATE or BADEN?


Help me please.

61 Kingdoms, should be quite faithful to reality even if, for example, the heraldry of the Russian principalities at that time was not well defined ... the same for a couple of Islamic kingdoms of north west Africa.

Now the countdown to end shields heraldry started, I finished the 10 shields Kingdoms playing, miss the other 50 (more or less):

New turn almost defined, should speed up slightly the previous system:

Back to the final correction of the map ... it's up to North Africa ...
Here are pretty ignorant, so really I need your help to give the name correctly as possible to the various territories ... THANK YOU from now who will help me

DATE: 1265


North Western Africa, older version:


Version of the PC game Crusader Kings II:


Changes I would make:
WESTERN SAHARA become ANTI ATLAS
MAURITANIA (which is much more shifted than my map) become MARRAKECH (although I do not like to give the same name of the city, such as the region of Tangier)
I wanted to change also WESTERN ATLAS and EASTERN ATLAS, but I found nothing of value.





North Central Africa, the old version:


Version of the PC game Crusader Kings II:


Changes that I could do:
KAIROUAN I would like to change it, but I do not know if it becomes MEDJERDA, CONSTANTINE or BISKRA ... I would be more inclined to MEDJERDA.
DJERBA, TRIPOLITANIA and LEPTIS MAGNA are all in TRIPOLITANIA, but I would not know which names to give... or leave them so, or thought I rename them WESTERN TRIPOLITANIA, MIDDLE TRIPOLITANIA and EASTERN TRIPLOLITANIA...






North East Africa, old version:


Version of the PC game Crusader Kings II:


I do not know, maybe it is good all so ... I'm not sure that the term Jordan was already in use, but it seems already used in Roman times ... better change it?

The Middle East is divided into many areas, so I had to regroup and decide how to name ...


Middle East, the old version:


Version of the PC game Crusader Kings II:


Changes I would make:
the PHRYGIA become LIDIA
GALATIA become PHRYGIA or ERACLEA (or NICEA?)
AZERBAIJAN would return MESOPOTAMIA as I had done long ago.
I do not really like DESERT SYRIAC, but SYRIA've already used for the Principality of Antioch.

For Greece there should be no problem, for the Balkans I have 2 questions ...


BALKANS AND GREECE, old version:


Version of the PC game Crusader Kings II:


doubts:
SLOVAKIA is perhaps the right ... otherwise what was his name?
PEST is definitely wrong, at most it should be on the left bank of the Danube and not on the right bank where there is Buda... so how could I call this territory?
