We need research on the provinces and settlements. I have made a drawing of some settlements in chile and Argentina: But it's not completed, i will update as i research. "Antarki: I need you to make the Peru-Bolivia provinces, and perhaps brazil, colombia, venezuela, etc? Thanks

Good job, this is one thing that we needed, and you're doing it well so far! But I can't really read the names of the Mapuche cities, what are they named?

Longotoma and Cuchipuy
you know, they are not actual town names. Ill explain. Mapuche didn't name their towns, and they never built cities. So, to look for a solution to this problem, i looked for archeological places, wich were found in locations I put in the map. the dots are the approximated place where that archeological site is.
Same for the Diaguita.
SSJ Vegeta Trunks: The Aymara, in chile at least, did not built any large cities, but they did build fortresses thay were called Pukara by the inca. Quitor and Turi are two important pukaras. I think the pukara should be considered in the city types. Atacama is an acient town of the aymara people, the most important in chiloe and argentina All the trade roads going to the south passed through there.
I think that's all. Ill edit the map to make it look clearer.

What are we going to do with the population of these forts? And what about provinces?

SSJVegetaTrunks: I got an Idea on provinces. in the case of the mapuche, we got (by now) 3 prov. Well, I could name them "North Land" "South Land" and "East Land", and then translate them into mapudungun, the mapuche language. No one would complain (/cause no one would understand) and its not a lie, because they ARE the north, south and east lands. Same for the other factions

Ok, good job so far! But just so you know, no provinces can have the same name, so if we do the "North Land, South Land, and Eastland" idea, we'll have to put another word in front of it or after it, too.

Its good that we are progressing with the provinces, but how are we progressing with the map ? About the names, i do agree... give them generic names, but in the local languages

At last ;D, finished Chile- Argentina provinces, settlement names and resoective tribe. Should I send this to Caius Flaminius So he can add them to the map or should I wait and see if Antarki can make the Northern and Eastern provinces?

This is great! However, we still need to know about Province Recources (huntable animals, gold, grain, olive oil, timber, things like that), default population, fertility, and possibly other things as well that I cannot think of right now.
Default population is how high the population is in the town. If you are not sure about this, just say what level of town you think it should be.
Fertility is how high the base farming is, on a scale from 1 to 10. A province with a fertility of 2 will not grow many crops, a fertility of 5 will grow average crops, and a fertility of 9 would grow many crops. Most of the towns should probably be 4, 5, or 6, but some towns that are known for having fertile or unfertile lands around them should be different.
I hope this isn't too much to ask for. If you can't find fertility or recource information for a province, we can just make that province similar to the provinces around it.

Had forgot about it. Im afraid i cannot do that. I am leaving tomorrow to Puerto Varas is southern Chile, to the countryside, away from the cities and Internet, so I wont be able to contact you for 15-17 days! In fact I spent all this day researching for places and tribes just to have the d**n thing ready for today I'll try to do it in the time I have left, but its IMPOSSIBLE to know the poulations of the tribes' settlements... They didn't count their population, and they didn't have writing, so even if they did count their population that information is lost....

Well, great job and thanks for doing all this! We don't need to know all that information right now, as we can pretty easily change it later, so we'll just make the different cities practically the same until you get back or someone else helps. Have fun!
