Code: - Map Update to Finland - 8 new provinces in Finland, improving mobility and spread noticeably in the area - 2 new duchies in Finland (Ostrobothnia and Savonia) - 1 new province in Lapland, in the duchy of Kola

Greetings!Once again we will scour the tomes in our cartographer’s office! In the last DD we visited the Baltics, in this one we’re heading further up north – to the land of the Finns, a land of a thousand lakes and bear-gods.As for Finland, the main reason for us doing a map update was the poor definition in the area. Anyone who has moved armies in the region knows that the pathing, at the best of times, can be quite strange – with armies often taking massive detours to reach their destination. The main contributing factor to this was the massive size of the provinces, and that they were connected to each other in illogical ways. As you can see, almost all provinces in the area have been cut up rather significantly (its rather subtle, but what constitutes ‘Pohjanmaa’ in the new image is actually three Counties). The average power of the area has not gone up significantly though, with most Counties containing at most two holdings (some even contain only one). What has gone up though is the enjoyment while playing in the area!Credit, once again, goes to [Arthur-PDX] Please note that the time between Dev Diaries will be irregular, as we’re very early in the development cycle.
