A pivotal moment for Lithuania came after a decisive win at the Battle of Blue Waters. Today, Lithuania is one of EuropeвЂ™s smallest countries, but at its peak in the middle ages, it was one of the largest states on the continent. Though the Mongols were slowly pushed eastward, they loomed large on the fringes of Europe until almost the 16th century. Facing invasion from formidable Mongol forces, central European princes temporarily placed their regional conflicts aside to defend their territory. In the mid-13th century, the вЂњGolden HordeвЂќ led by grandsons of Genghis Khan, roared into Russia and Eastern Europe sacking cities along the way. The Romans would later get their revenge when they attacked the quarreling Goths and Huns, bouncing the latter out of Central Europe.

The Huns waged their first attack on the Eastern Roman Empire in 395, but it was not until half a century later-under the leadership of Attila the Hun-that hordes pushed deeper into Europe, sacking and razing cities along the way. Spurred on by severe drought conditions in Central Asia, the Huns reached Europe and found a Roman Empire weakened by currency debasement, economic instability, overspending, and increasing incursions from rivals along its borders. This enormous empire remained mostly intact until 395, when it was irreparably split into Eastern and Western regions. At its height, under Trajan, the Roman Empire was a colossal 1.7 million square miles (quite a feat in an era without motorized vehicles and modern communication tools). The peak of the Roman Empire is one of the more dramatic moments shown on this animated European map. These decisive victories paved the way for the Roman EmpireвЂ™s eventual domination of the Mediterranean. The fall of Carthage left the Romans in control of territory in North Africa, and the ransack and destruction of the Greek city-state of Corinth also kickstarted an era of Roman influence in that region. Empires rise and fall, invasions sweep across the continent, and modern countries slowly begin to take shape (with the added bonus of an extremely dramatic instrumental).Д«elow are nine highlights and catalysts that shifted the dividing lines of the European map: 146 BC вЂ“ A Year of ConquestДЎ46 BC was a year of conquest and expansion for the Roman Republic. TodayвЂ™s video comes to us from YouTube channel Cottereau, and it shows the evolution of European map borders starting from 400 BC. While there are rare exceptions like Andorra and Portugal, which have had remarkably static borders for hundreds of years, jurisdiction over portions of the continentвЂ™s landmass have changed hands innumerable times. The history of Europe is breathtakingly complex. I haven't had the chance to create apitrace files as of now, but I'll make sure to add them soon.How the European Map Has Changed Over 2,400 Years I have tested battles and haven't seen this issue.

Medieval II: Total War (Tested both the main game and the expansion, I have logs for the expansion.) I hope that won't cause any problems for tackling this issue. I have been using Lutris, as it really made installing a DVD game with Wine a lot easier. Medieval II: Total War with it's retail release on DVD has black lines on the campaign map. I transferred this report from #1985 because I couldn't check for duplicates properly.

I did manage to get an apitrace, but I did not get as far as the point where the bug happens. It basically froze while I tried to trace it. Unfortunately, the game really doesn't want to be traced. The game produces weird lines at the map with DXVK.
