And we have no idea how far north we might expand for game#3 campaign or (im)Mortal Empires. So adding that to a already grown ME should add a lot. What we currently have, is just another resized attemptto make something fit now, which definitly should change in game#3 Dark Lands are big and fully fleshed out for their own campaign, should be at least on game#1 Old World map scale. And then there would be of course the added Dark lands. That means more provinces, more NPC factions. We really hope that game#3 will have a better worldmap, which might take more points from the Vortex map. So adding the missing Southlands and a sea-passage is not possible. If I remember right, it was said they can't change the borders for ME in this game anymore. Most obvious fauxpas is Malus in his pond, were his Black Ark can't even out yet and he can't initiate sea-trade since he has no sea-passage. ME as of right now, is already severly cut.

Mortal Empires it gets even worse and we don't even know if the game actually could work with 'the whole map'. And that is just for the Dark Lands amapign map. And the action for the real players is just more in the west anyway. So filling them with NPCs can be done, but serves no real purpose. But the other side of the coin is that you make a vast array of land possible, where no important race actually has good claims to start. Kinda like Bretonnia got squanched or how the Araby desert was reduced) would allow more provinces in the east and as the better bonus: would open the gate for modders to do, what CA apparently has no immediate plans for. I mean yes, adding them (while at the same time you have to shrink and adjust some parts. If Cathay/Nippon/Ind will not even be considered as playable races, it kinda is mood to actually add those parts of the worldmap.
