Hello, i would like to suggest some changes to the country of Nitra and region of Slovakia so it will be more accurate and reflect historical provinces/names.

First off, province names. Some of province or town names are wrong and should be changed.

#Prov. 1772 is called Nitra when controlled by Nitra (Slovak language). Problem is that town of Nitra is nowhere in that province and the town that is shown is actually Pressburg (Prešporok, Pozsony, Bratislava). Name of province in Slovak language should be changed to Prešporok

#Prov. 154 is called Nové Zámky. Same problem as before, town of Nové Zámky is nowhere in that province. Name of province in Slovak language should be changed to Nitra. Capital of that province should be also renamed to Nitra because town of Hont (actual capital) doesn't exist.

#Prov. 4236 Trencin should be renamed to Trenčín in Slovak/Czech. Trentschin in German.

#Prov. 1318 Spis should be renamed to Spiš in Slovak/Czech and its capital to Levoča.

#Prov. 162 Zemplin should be renamed to Zemplín in Slovak/Czech and its capital to Košice.

Fort from province of Zemplin should be moved into the province of Spis. Why? Because of the Spiš castle which is one of the biggest castles in the Central Europe. It was built during the Mongol invasion of Europe and at the time it was one of the most important strategical places in the Kingdom of Hungary.

Shape of provinces should be changed, border of Pozsony/Hont province should be at the river Váh. Polish/Hungarian border should be reshaped too as this border has not changed for centuries, it remained pretty much same until the Treaty of Trianon when Poland took possesion of Northern Spiš and Upper Orava. Province of Spiš should be moved eastwards because it is not covering historical region (county) of Spiš entirely.
Capital city of Hont (Nitra) province should be moved as well as capital city of Zemplen (Zemplín) which should be moved southwards.

And one minor change, i would like to see wasteland of High Tatras. It wouldnt add anything to the gameplay but it is the highest mountain pass in the Carpathians so it would be cool to have it in game.

Thank you for your reply! You did not dissapoint me with anything, i fully understand it. I hoped at least for border change with Poland because it really looks very weird and bad as it is now. I think that problem with Nowy Sacz could be solved by splitting province into 2 (Nowy Sacz and Nowy Targ for example) and making those provinces more like squares, not that long and narrow as Nowy Sacz is in the game at the moment. But that would mean that one province from Malopolska region will have to be moved to other region because as far as i know you have some kind of a limit that one region can contain a maximum of 5 provinces (im not really sure). That wasteland is useless i know, it wouldnt affect gameplay in any way.

But you guys should consider changing the dynamic province names in Slovak language by adding diacritic. (Zemplin to Zemplín, Trencin to Trenčín etc.). Diacritics are very imporant in slavic languages and i even saw some hungarians (even tho hungarian is not a slavic language, but diacritics are very important in hungarian too) complaining about hungarian province names without diacritics.
