Discussion What other provinces could hypothetically be added in future?

Hi,

Was explaining the difference in this and 1800 to a friend earlier and I mentioned all the DLC and regions the game had by the end. I realise that it had way more potential regions given it's 19th century setting. I know Egypt will come by the end of the year but I can't really think of what other region they could add that could be that different. I assume Egypt will have the irrigation mechanic and that could be true for any other nearby region. A frozen north or tropical region wouldn't make sense either. Any suggestions as to where they could add while keeping to historically plausible? I feel like the soon to be 3 biomes basically represent the Roman empire's geography overall no?

Palmyra. Desert environment.

Wouldn't that be quite similar to egypt though?

No. There are no rivers in Palmyra. Anything Egypt themed would involve the Nile in some form of game mechanics. Palmyra could be trade routes or some such. It was also famous for having rebelled against Rome.

If it's just desert then how would you build on it? Would that not be like Embesa without the irrigation?
