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?
