Here's the map. Coloured nations are out of bounds to Gorika players, as they are the major native countries. (With the exception of Nillanor, which will serve as the High Elf domain. The High Elves will be a key NPC player. More on that later.)

Purple = Byzantium
Dark Blue = Kievan Rus
Light Blue = France
Red = England
Orange = Holy Roman Empire
Dark Yellow = Ayyubid dynasty
Bright Yellow = Nillanor (High Elves)

Everywhere else will be available to [u]all[/u] players, regardless of whether they wish to be Gorikan or native. 

Next I will start to detail the technology, recruitment and upkeep mechanics.

EDIT: I know the map's a bit messed up on the left, I didn't realise at the time but I've sorted it my end. The real thing wont have that defect.
