trebizond should be the despotate of trebizond, meaning it should be a duchy not a county. only seeing it now. also it should have a little bit more natural harbor.

other than that this looks great! love the new market map change btw!!
Despotate? It's an empire. Despotate isn't a real title, or at least wasn't anything conferred to land ownership in any way. At least, not by any Greek state.

Is there a particular reason on why you decided to split Chagatai but not the Golden horde?
The Chaghatai Ulus breaks apart in... 2 years from the start date, with these internal tribal divisions which were already holding land.

The various proposed break-aparts of the Golden Horde in 1337 are reflective of internal subdivisions which were governed by appointment. Much like Transylvania, that means not breaking them off into separate tags.

@Pavía Could you clarify what tags are vassals of the sutayids rather than direct vassals of the Jalayirids?
This is the starting diplomatic situation of the Jalayirids:

And this is the one of the Sutayids:

(Ignore the Jalayirids and the subjects having the same colouring; that's a bug that will be fixed).

Batumi, Baku, Reyshahr, Māchūl, Quban, Sīraf, Ormani, Pasna, Gwadar and Sonamiani should all at least have some low quality natural harbours

What about those Mus. And Hiz. tags, are they not part of the Jalayirid domains? Also do the Ertnids still have vassals in Anatolia?

Trebizond was an empire, Ormus and the Hüleguids should be kingdom rank titles, all the indipendent turkik bayliks should be duchy rank same for the Jarwanids and Usfurids(if they are added) as they used the title of Amir, I'm pretty sure that other rulers in the region like the Injuids, Muzaffarids and so on used the title of Emir but I don't know for sure
They would be using the title "Malik" if they were (Persian) governors of the Ilkhanate. I don't know whether or not any of the post-Ilkhan governors aside from the Kartids tried to elevate themselves to Sultan (and who were thoroughly put down in their attempt to do so by some number of Chaghatai tribes, since doing so would be a more formal break from Ilkhan suzerainty however symbolic) around this time. The Muzaffarids did declare themselves Caliph, but later on.

If we wanted to be generalizing, I'd say the semi-nomadic non-Persian governors of the Ilkhanate would be amirs, and the sedentary Persian governors maliks. In the context of the Ilkhanate, amirs were seen to be "above" maliks.

This is why I think the rank system in the game is stupid, by the way.

My only complaint with the map (aside from culture; what, no Arab population in Iraq?) is that Anatolia didn't get a light touch to clean up the Artuqids.

As mentioned before, more of their west should go to the Doger, their south to the Sutayids, and their east to Bohtan. They should be left with Mardin and Dunaysir and nothing more.

Zoroastrians, Yazidis and Tengris are really difficult to tell apart, so maybe the Zoroastrians should have the same yellowish colour they have in EU4 and have Tengri be a lighter blue
