New-game scenario ideas

I have a few new-game scenario ideas, and they aren't really concepts I've seen knocking around over the years. So if you're running low on motivation for your current saves maybe consider these:

Cordoba (Segunda Espana)

Location: Cordoba, Andalusia, Spain

Historically it was the heartbeat of the al-Andalus empire and a cultural/ intellectual breeding ground - more advanced than most of Christian Europe at the time. It was also a gateway from Europe to Africa (something you could incorporate into your save, as well as some fancy Pep-style tactic).

Hatay (lower Turkey leagues - maybe my favourite)

Location: Antakya, Turkey

Formally Antioch - one of the longest continually inhabited places on Earth.

Historically a major location for the likes of Roman and Seleucid empires making it a vastly wealthy and culturally significant city at the time. It was also a fortress, with enormous towering walls - possibly an aspect you can bring into your tactics.

Korinthos (Greek 3rd tier)

Location: Corinth

Ancient greek city-state

Historical Corinth was built on a towering acropolis (big rock) and continuously inhabited from archaic times until the modern era. Heavily fortified and easily defended becoming key defensive posts for Byzantine, Franks, Venice and Ottomans and home to the temple of Aphrodite. Lots of potential for rags-to-riches save with the fortress and Aphrodite links also powerful symbols of your future tactical styles.

Other ideas (these are both similar)

Ajaccio (Ligue2)

Location: Ajaccio, Corsica, France

The club is nicknamed 'the bear' and home to the birthplace of Napoleon the task is obvious here. Promotion, dominate France then continue this dominion throughout Europe. Additionally, Corsicans have a reputation of passion and self-identity in France, a trait you could bring into your save (Corsican-only). Napoleon was known for genius military tactics, bold decisions and of course his Grande Armée - the unstoppable man-machine that enabled Napoleon to control Europe.

AS Otisa Mare Lido Calcio - or Ostiamere (Serie D)

Location: Ostia, Lazio, Italy

A rise of Rome concept. Ostia, now just a seaside resort near Rome used to be a major port for the Roman empire - of the first place you landed in the Roman empire. It houses the Roman Navy and was fundamental for supplying grain to the ever growing city of Rome in ancient times. Romans called the Mediterranean 'our sea' mainly due to the fleet housed at Ostia and it's often seen as the workhorse to the more opulent neighbour - Rome. The scenario here is to build up Ostiamere to a powerful club in Italy and ultimately dominate Europe - a path very similar to the history of the ancient Republic of Rome. You decide if a collective (Republic) or authoritative (Empire) approach is the right way to lead them to the top of Europe once again.

Any feedback on these ideas would be good to hear, obviously feel free to add any ideas - the more the merrier!

Also (sorry for droning on), if I've referenced anything factually inaccurate I apologise, and if you give me a heads up I can update the original post.
