I wish that too. I would love to make a Warhammer or w40k, or Game of Thrones mod, but without a new map, it would look, well....not so good.
Right now the map lacks East Asia. I'll add that later, if I have the time and the energy. But right now I'll focus on the existing areas.
Anyways, I had some thoughts about Hyrkania. Usually Hyrkania is depicted as a Russia-like kingdom that lies between "Europe" and "China". However, my impression (from the close reading of the Hyborian Age essay) is that the Hyrkanians began on the eastern shore of Asia (modern China) and pushed westwards till they reached the Vilayet sea, stretching across the continent. Basically I see them as the Hyborian age equivalent of Gengish Khan's empire.
However, such an empire would be incredibly powerful. It would have as much IC and manpower as every other country combined. That wouldn't be very fun. So maybe they could an event in the beginning of play which would say something like: "We're a huge multinational empire and blah blah blah, so it's difficult to run such an empire."
Basically, only urban provinces would be national provinces. Others would have a chance for revolts. Hyrkania would still be extremely powerful, but they'd also have to worry about partisans.
Hyrkanian City-States (Turanian puppet on the eastern shore of the Vilayet sea) would, likewise, only have national provinces on the titular city-states. However, they could also "declare independence", i.e. revoke their puppet status. In such a case Turan would declare war against them, but they would also get national provinces and free units ("Tribes unite" or similar event).

I think the Hyrkanians are more of an equivalent of the Hun Empire or the Scythians. The Empire of Genghis has fallen in less than a hundred years. While similar thing happened to the Huns, they had an Empire even before Attila and a much longer history.
Basically there is a ruling aristocratic tribe and vassal tribes as a confederacy. In the Genghis road this was achieved with subjugation, and in the case of Attila, this was achieved in diplomatic ways. (He spent years wandering across Asia to gather support and allies.)
The Hyrkanians probably do the same as the Huns, so they band together in a confederacy, but with a single ruling tribe. (This has the benefit of lasting longer in history, but the other tribes are quite autonomous.)
In game terms it could be a main tribal nation and a few puppet tribes, which try to gain favours, or try to play their own game.

What do you mean buy? It is a free mod. Hopefully it will be updated in this year.
Yes, but the base game? Do I need to buy the game? If so, which one? Which version of which game?
An Alpha version of it was released for 1.04. I really hope this will be updated. So much work has been put into it.
Super dope map. Are those long provinces the mountain peaks? They go around that huge lake.
I will necro this thread. Does someone have the different versions of this mod. I might just try and reanimate this mod.
Are you there somewhere Miihkali? Do you work on this sometimes?

Good luck.
