-La Seo de Urgel modification, explained in a post before.
-Revised some things around Brittany: Nantes lies north side of the Loire. Vannes adition was my idea and I think a nice one, but taking into account the wrong Nantes location maybe would be more interesting just expanding St Nazaire and relocate Nantes to her true position. You can see the roads in blue, with a light blue way from Vannes to Angers that it's just little roads connecting villages. That would mean adjusting also La Rochelle area of influence, (which should have direct way to Bordeaux without passing by Angouleme in the south) a bit to the North, and making old Nantes province La Roche-sur-Yon. Not all I said here painted in the map.
-In the Western Alps, I missplaced Grenoble a bit to the south, but I saw Cuneo is maybe not fit for its role and Susa would be maybe a better name por the province, as it is nosense to force the way from Chambery to Torino by Cuneo. Susa pass to Chambery by Moncenisio usually is closed in winter. Having 2 different provinces, Susa and Cuneo, would fit, but I prefer not to go for too much litlle provinces except strictly necessary. Also from Susa you have the Briaçon pass to Grenoble, this one I didnt paint in the map, also closes in winter. Both passes were used to invade France.
The connection between Cuneo and Nizza can be closed in winter, but it was used by the 5a Div. Cosseria to attack and invade towards Mentone.
From Grenoble to Nizza, Grasse road should be rarely closed in winter.
Chambery to Sion is closed in winter and a very bad route, except you go via Geneva, issue is that you don't have to enter the city properly as you can border Lac Leman avoiding Swiss territory, but it has to be taken into account for calculating distances.
Bern should have direct way to Belfort, I thought about adding Basel as a mandatory pass from Bern and Zurich to Alsace. Also thought abut Lucern as an axis between Basel-Zurich-Bern-Lugano but at the end discarded the idea as it would be redundant, anyways something to discuss if it contributes or not.
Modified Dijon to accomodate better its position as mid point between Le Creusot and Belfort.
Removed Pontarlier salient, nosense and direct road from Bourg to Geneva. Also think Pontarlier should be discarded and changed to Besançon, whose location is marked in purple/yellow.
All these Alpine road and passes issue would be wonderfull if DH devs implemented a feature that allows some border crossings be dependant on climate.
- in the Eastern Alps, modified Kranj-Maribor border to force Kranj to Zagreb route go through Ljubljana or Maribor.
I made Graz connect directly to Gyor and Zalaegerszeg by taking a part of Eisestadt, and divided Leoben from Graz, maintaining Leoben as mountains and making Graz hills.
Also I propose to create Varadzin from Bjelovar and give part of Osijek to Bjelovar, making Varadzin plains and Bjelovar hills, maintaining the forest in Osijek.
-in the Tatras, removed the way from Brno to Zilina, but rethinking I did not develop Slovakian lands as much careful as Alps or Greece. Trencin and Nitra as distributors should work, specially Nitra as hills and moving a bit Banska Bystrica eastwards. Some extending of the Tatras taking part from Presov province would be nice. Something to consider is adding Proprad there ass a pass from Zilina, Banska Bystrica and Zakopane to Presov.
-in Poland, moved Krakow to its correct side of the Vistula, making also its connections more logical, and renaming old Krakow province to Zakopane. These way we hace Krakow as city terrain and maintain the Tatras mountains as Zakopane. Katowice would become plains, in 1936 I don't see a justification for it to be city terrain.
Added Baranowicze cause logistical and importance reasons, but possible limits should have to be discussed as it would be Poland-USSR border.
Added Rzeszow in the map but maybe it's not that neccesary.
In Tuscanny, when I proposed Grosseto I was thinking about a mid point from Tuscany to Rome, taking part of southern Tuscany and northern Lazio. Some border ideas and cuts there, nothing clear. When Rodolphe proposed Lucca to make Florence inland, I thought the obvious choice was Pisa, not Lucca. But we added La Spezia as a main port and fleet base, so adding Pisa would maybe overcrowd the area. We can also maintain a port in Florence representing Pisa.
But I think keeping Livorno, as a coastal fortress and main port of Tuscanny, is a good idea, while Grosseto would fill the initial role I thought for it.
-In Bulgaria moved Plovdiv to its correct side of Maritsa river taking half of Haskovo. Renamed old Plovdiv to Stara Zagora. Sofia province would need little correction to make visual connection to Plovdiv a bit bigger. Plovdiv to Kavale connection not avaliable cause the Rhodope.
-in Macedonia and Greece, first one is the complete missplacdment of Lake Ohrid.
Stip and Bitola added. Stip can be maybe innecesary, I'd like to know your opinion guys, but think Bitola is interesting, specially taking into account the logistics and Greece rework with the impassable terrain towards Veria.
-in Greece, I reworked the Metsovo-Kozani mess, by dividing it into mountains Kozani and Trikkala, and Veria, which terrain I dont have clear.
Lamia new province ass a pass from Agrinion to Larissa and to force the way from Trikkala to Agrinion by it or Ioannina, and also an extra barrier to protect Beocia (Lebadea) and Atica (Athens).
In the Pelepponese, 1 or 2 cuts. Corinth as the key pass to Patras and the rest of the peninsula, that could be Napflio and Kalamata, or just Kalamata.
