It is true enough that connections are a bit arbitrary, and that the visual size of a provence has no impact on game mechanics. Yet turning most of North Africa into a single provence would run counter to my purpose.
Well, two purposes:
- Making sure that the African section of the map remains an important power center on which players can get a good fair start.
- Making it feel like Africa in an RP sense I.E., no travelling from Morocco to Somalia in one turn, and this includes making deserts behave distinctly from empty plains in a way that makes sense from an rp and game mechanics standpoint.
I think Sombre has the right idea, though I don't know exactly what sites can be added. I'll play around with it.
