No need to make up a Watsonian explanation for something that has an overt Doylist reason.
im pretty certain Venice is italians homecity.
There are still at least 8 Maps missing for europe, that are seen on the map loading screans:
iceland (already in the game files)
Gibraltar
Balearic Islands

Gibraltar could be a fun, almost King of the Hill (Rock!) style map where you could have the fortified Rock in the middle with a British side and Spanish side surrounding it (these not really having much difference if a ‘normal’ map).
Or it could be an hybrid European/African map. I have no idea where you got British from.
Nowadays Gibraltar is British lol
Oh, I don’t know…
I never heard of those, but they sound like they should be represented by a historical battle or historical map, not by a regular map.
It’s already weird enough that the Mediterranean map only gets Euro natives.
Isn’t that the space between Spain and North Africa?
The strait of Gibraltar is while Gibraltar per se is a Rock with some land in the area thats administrated by the UK

I assume it’s an undocumented change, because I never heard of it.
Either way, I’m glad for the change. I’ll have to check.
Gales tiene los puestos comerciales americanos y no los europeos
I wish they had a Risk-like game with this World Map. Would be soooo addiciting.
You also probably wouldn’t retire again this decade.

Man, if only. Having you fill out the rest of the map would be amazing.
