introduction
This is actually the minimap image . You can see all of the provinces with their borders - from Hong Kong to North Japan and Mongolia. The date is 16th Century before the reuniting of Japan. The map has 145 towns : arround 60 are in Japan more than 60 are in China, 11 in Korea, 8 are Taiwan and Ryukyu Islands.
In the beginning There will be only Portuguese Colonies - Macau and Nagasaki as different kingdoms , later will invade dutch, french, british , maybe some others.
There will be several Japanese clans - all with quest for unite Japan
Ming empire will not have 60 towns in the beginning. I will make China into provinces , who are vassals of Ming. In Korea is the same situation.
The mongolians, who live in north will have a cool advantage , but for this later. :)
I will make in the mod the trading between the nations more important.
I will use all religions with their options , even the crusade,, but if you play the game you will never heard about the crusade :)
texture for the yellow river :)
New units; new trading goods ,etc.

I am recoloring the realms.bmp- for me one of the most exhausting thing of the modding . Hopefully for now I don't have the problem from shogun mod with crossing seas, so when I tested some dudes from the other part of the map attacked me without much thinking .
I have enough work for the next months , and if someone wants to join the mod with doing something , will be welcome :) /any help is needed/

:O Awesome! Like your Yellow River! Yo want to put the Great Wall to the game? That will be awesome!
an effective great wall is possible if replace a texture of a mountain with wall - you don't need wall if the enemies walk trough it :). I didn't try this yet I just place mountains there .
In this map you can go in the rivers from the sea and surprise your enemies / also there are harbors in the rivers/, but I don't believe that the AI will make such a move.

it seems to me that you have managed to make basemap with good coloring ?
Its by the old good way with only two colors and black.
You know I could kill a man to learn how to make the base.bmp like the original :crushed:
The other - the good image is for the minimap. And becouse I am so big moron , I deleted it with the folder, Fortunately I made the poster abd I used the map from there and made it again :)
P.S.
If someone in this planet , or beyond knows how to make the base.bmp like the original
please send me email : fcsv18@yahoo.com I am waiting :D - spam bots are not tolerated :D

The religions are cultures: Japanese, Chinese-Korean, Mongol and European.
Activities:
- Wokou + Shogun Election - a noble from your clan will be able to became shogun .
I didn't play enough long to see shogun election :)
- Ikko-Ikki / jihad option for chino-koreans ,
- Independence from the King in Europe, you will no pay tribute to the king, but the king is very away and will not punish you :)
- Mongols - Pagans - no option - Their secret advantage is not yet done :D

С basemap-а се занимавах 2-3 седмици, пробвах кво ли не, но не успях да я подкарам като хората. Писах на Фружин, той каза, че ще види да помогне, но явно е забравил, пък не е нещо важно да го притеснявам постоянно. Ако искаш го попитай и ти, може да е забравил просто да отговори

Bitte was?
The only word redable for me is basemap... I know this is a quasi bulgarian forum but posting in bulgarian while talking to a chinese / japanese guy is a little bit weird... Maybe you confused something?

He said:
"I worked with the basemap 2-3 weeks, I tried everything, but I didn't made it property. I have asked Frujin, he answered me that he will see to help, but it seems to forgot it. Also it's not very important to disturb him all the time. If you want ask him too. He can forgot it and maybe will answer you ..."

trailer 1 - maps : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aTBg8a0gydc (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aTBg8a0gydc) switch to hd and watch in full screen :)
p.s. the mod is going well I had some troubles- I think with the Korean names, I made Koreans with chinese names and hope fixed it I have over 5 hours crashless gameplay . I have only another crash problem so far. I think it's graphical somewhere around Yellow sea and its not happens every time - maybe it's a big dragon or giant octopus in the sea and eats the game :)
Anyway the map is done. Next is Economics.

Excellent work. Did you manage to deal with the flag-changing code? I replied to your question in the thread where you asked about it.
I saw your post and I thank you, it works for me:
COLONISATION
six european invasions are done . Spanish is not shown
http://img145.imageshack.us/img145/4775/colonisationn.jpg
I made today 278 asian portraits . I feel like chinese factory :x
all guys and girls are looking in this style

It this mod this should be the most dangerous unit if is used wisely - with very poor defense and melee skills, but can sneak and shoot the enemy marshal
heavy artilery guns mortars and heavy asian crossbow

I can't find better image for trebuchet at the moment, but the cannon is good :)
The units:
http://img233.imageshack.us/img233/425/units.jpg
There are speciall units for Japan, China, Mongolia and Europe, also there are basic units - same for all like in the original game - called asian swordmen , asian spearmen etc..
Euro units are available in some non euro towns like Kyoto Osaka, Edo, Beijing, and all towns with quest
Mongolians can grow massive "horse power" by only make a simple building, their spetial unit is not actualy need the good horses. I wanted to make 2 buildings to produce horses - one for mongolians witch doesn't need pasture (because steppe lands are pastures ), and one for the others, but is not possible.
Cannons and Mortars need traiding good cannons . U can produce them in a simple building if you are european,, or import if you are not.
The difference between the asian end euro musketeer is the quality of the weapons and the training and also self confidence :) , as result the euro have little better skills

Aren't those mortars from Cossacks?? Good job.
I recognized them instantly as such, King Mathyas :D.
Good to see those again, looks awesome.

Japan has reunited almost without my help in 4 hours the black points are the towns needed for this reuniting. In my testings so far it is always some AI kingdom to control these lands,.
http://img717.imageshack.us/img717/4064/japanr.jpg
In the beginning of the game they are massive pirate attacks in china and shogun elections , but later the shogunate as institution is disappearing , maybe with the growth of one of the japanese kingdom. I am not sure. And also the japanese seem to take measures against the piracy :p .
The mod is very near to finish and this is not a joke for 1 April :) . I still have some little things to fix and is very possible to upload the mod very soon :)

Lol why play Shogun II anylonger? At least it seems you have taken over the Japan provinces from this game...
The Final Chapter - ECONOMY
For each culture - Asian vs. European there are specific trading goods and exotic goods.
- Chinese can produce porcelain
- Japanese swords - just a good, not needed for units anymore
- Europeans make cannons - needed for training heavy artillery / artillery is also available in mercenaries camps - if you have trade agreement you can by cannons and recruit artilery .I don't know if the AI do this , but the euro-AI builds cannons workshops in 15-20 minutes sometimes and macau is every time strong to survive longer.
- Porcelain and Sword are included in one kingdom advantage both , so you must import the good wich can't produce from other culture. I don't know if AI will do this , but I don't know if the AI anyway archievs an advantage. It's for the player only to make the trade more important. Euro players must import both.
- Asian can import idols with the building giant budda
- European can ''import'' colonists with the building embassy
and archieve the advantages black shipshttp://img844.imageshack.us/img844/5519/ageofdiscoveries.png and colonisation http://img291.imageshack.us/img291/2158/urbanization.png - I prefere colonists , but not slaves - is more humane :D
- There should be opium as traiding good or something, but I don't like drugs and I don't want this sh@it in my mod :D
Asians only can archieve the Golden Tempple , Hanami, Confucian Scools, the rest are free for all :)
The most trading goods and buildings are same with the buildings in Shogun Mod
the chinese have town like this now
