Crusade-heavy fantasy scen

[unmerged(21937)]

Righto, this scenario focuses on heathen bashing. There will be 8 player positions (marked with P on the map) that are 4-5 provinces in size and total income is 30. Rest of the map is divided into various tribes, sultanates and kingdoms. This scenario is designed more or less with MP in mind, so it works with completely vanilla files and the player positions were designed with this in mind. It is not yet ready, but I drew a nice map of it and would perhaps like to hear comments.

Most realms on the map are named according to their tags. Sometimes not. If something seems fuzzy or complicated about the map, just ask.

Hmm, looks cool, though it's hard to find the Ps, maybe you should write them in black, and make a different color for outlines too... Any player positions near Poland ?

Interesting idea. One problem is that the biggest pagans and muslims seem to be nearer the smalllest christians.

Well, here's a guide to find the Ps, guide is based on their capital province:

- One is at Venice
- One is at Genoa
- One is at Byzantion
- One is at Cordoba
- One is at Brugge
- One is at Alexandria
- One is at Novgorod
- One is at Baghdad

I made sure that each position has both small duchy level heathens and big heathen kingdom(s) next to it. Alexandria's neighbours seem big (and others than CYRE are rather big in land size), but Alexandria can sail to Greece for smaller enemies and Nubia is quite poor land.

Also I planned to put all player positions (especially if it's played in MP) with placeholders and let players then fill in with their desired characters, like in the modding tradition of MP.

Also, there is no difference in strength between P-positions, as I delicately put each of them to have total income of 30. They just face different challenges.
