I understand you Lolowut, just I want to make first a historically accurate map, and then think again in the viewpoint of warlight, and take the compromises between history and playability. Now Im finishing the east and the north and then I will be opened before any suggestions in order to playability.
Good joke Chameleon :)

Darth Mylor, as I know Normandy was a viking settlement in the 9. century and the House of Normandy founded by Rollo who invaded north France and his descendants were the Dukes of Normandy who were vassals of the France Kings.
In 1000AD the Duke of Normandy was Richard II. who was vassal of Robert II. King of France, so Normandy was not an independent country but a duchy in 1000.
Ill try to finish map soon.

This is almost the final version. Im thinking on some changes in Russia and minor modifications in elsewhere too. What do you think about this version?
Are there any suggestions to change?

You should separate Mazovia from Poland Maior, now it is one long territory that does not look good. Poland Maior should have short border with Poland Minor.

Im just thinking on changes, it seemed good idea to move Eestes into Finno-Ugric people, but the Livonians are too a Finno-Ugric nation. It would be okay if the finno-ugrians have 5 territories and the baltic nations have just 3?
And okay if I change Poland, Hungary, and Bulgaria into 6?

ChrisCMU, that number shows not the bonus values just the number of territories. The Holy Roman Empire is a megabonus and earns only 3 armies because it already has the bonuses of germany, italy, papal states, northern march, eastern march, bohemia, and burgundy, these are the 30 territory.
Chameleon, that place in hispania was 2 territory in the older versions. Do you think it should be 2 again, and the caliphate should be a bonus of 7 territories? The finnish bonus in the new version get another territory (eestes), do you think is not enough?
