The map so far

[DarkArk]

cities that are drawn and written in black are just mere copies on a normal map of CA's blurred sneak peaks of the factions starting points maps.

No, they're not. Not completely.

Now, let's do comparisons shall we? Look at the Bactrian border on the right side, where it shows what is likely the edge of the map? Notice how the image does not in fact show the intersection of that border with Bactria and Arachosia, it cuts off right before then. Yet in his map that border is in black and continues to go down, with red only beginning later. The black is wrong, we don't know what that border will do.

I think that they told several times that the map will extend till Bactria.

Ah yes, the old hearsay. I don't think they've told us anything definitive about the map, so source?

Do you know what a copy is, dude?
You will see that when Rome 2's map is revealed the regions in black that exist so far on that map will correspond exactly on CA's map.

@DarkArk if you have that much of a problem with it go ahead and produce your own map,

You know, you should probably link him all the stages of your map, without your red provinces, only the black ones, so that he can finally understand that you only tried to create a map to better understand what regions we will have and how many based on the factions' starting position maps. Maybe, and I daresay maybe, then he will understand what you did, because right now he seems to believe that you draw all this map by yourself and have no connection to what CA showed us so far.
