To all the honored Map makers in the Community, I have need of your assistance.

I am looking to have 4 additional province maps made. Here are the map names and style of map I am looking for for each:

Tsushima: Island province, not sure what would be close as I'm not familiar with the geography of the province.

Settsu: Should be a cross between Harima and Kawatchi I'm guessing

Shima: Should be quite similar to Ise in appearance

Awa (Honshu): Should be similar to Kazusa

My reasons for asking is that I have been considering attempting a Campaign game based on Seal-san's map of Japan.

If any of you have more detailed knowledge of the geography of these provinces, please feel free to disregard my suggestions above.

I warned you, but did you listen? Ohh, no...it's just a harmless little bunny, isn't it?

I think Tsushima is rather mountainy. Not another Shinano, but if you don't want to go for the beach look (which would be when the expansion comes out), it should be uneven ground.

Ummmmmm, any takers?

Just curious.

hi obake :)

fraid i've gotten pretty busy with upgrading my machines and with wwii online. i've got 2 maps already done that i havent even uploaded yet, so that kinda tells ya where i am with map making right now.

i know terazawa is making one, but not sure if tosa is making any new ones right now or not. one thing that you can do if you want commissioned maps is to make up a 2d drawing in a paint program and post it somewhere that folks can d/l it and then use to make a map from. that always helps a lot. even if you just elaborated on your text description in here you'd prolly have a better chance of someone picking it up and doing it. and the more specific you are the easier it is to do.

Konnichiwa Obake san,

I'm busy this week. I would love to make at least 1 of the maps. I need some data about these provinces though. Is there anything at samurai archives? Perhaps Axial san or Kasin san from Japan (both have made some maps already) can provide some information. I'll give it a look starting next monday 9th.

Hi Obake,

I could make a map or two of those if you want. I have much time. http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/smile.gif

The already-exiting-based maps should be easy with Rob's map converter and some tweaks to hill and textures etc.

I know that Tsushima was the island between Japan and Korea.

OOh, speaking of....It's time for another STW Community Map Pack....version 1.15...
Send them in! So far there's around 12 new maps since 1.14, and they are great, but I was hoping to see a more even number by Friday, like say 15 or 20?
I'm also wanting to put together some other goodies, designer specific packs, that would be sent around and posted at the big sites as well as some of the smaller ones. I need to get in contact with everyone though first...

I am exercising patience here, and attempting to wait it out till the Map Editor comes out, but I think I may give in and do up the maps that I had ideas about. I dunno, we'll see how my time allocates in the next few days.

excellent daimyo,

i think i've got 3 i could zip up and post before friday. 2 of which are in a completely new series of maps, which i cant tell anyone about yet :) all i've been telling anyone is that, 'horses will fly' ;)
(this is being done to drive terazawa nuts, btw...seems to be working ;)

Hehe Kraellin, yes! I am still very very very curious. http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/wink.gif

But humbly I will have to wait to see horses fly...hehe

Btw daimyo be sure to include Te_Ultimatum. http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/redface.gif

Hopefully the second map is in construction.

Konnichiwa TheDaimyo,

I'm working on some maps now.
There are 92 maps now, Kraellin got 3 maps, I'll have 2 maps soon. How about waiting with pack 1.15 till we have at least 100 maps? I might just need a bit more time.

Sounds good to me guys, I'll postpone till we top out at 100 at least. Perhaps that will give us all time to really put our minds into it. I'll shoot for next weekend, after this coming one. Sound good?

Tosa, Krae and Tera:

Domo arigato gozaimashita to all three of you.

As Tosa suggested I have searched high and low online and have not found an adequate source for material that you could use. I appreciate Kraellin's suggestion to give you a framework to base a map on, unfortunately, my time has been quite limited of late dues to work and I've been unable to provide you with that framework.

As it stands, I leave things in your capable hands for now should any of you or anyone else take up the challenge. If not, then things will have to wait until such time as I can provide more information.

Kraellin...

Hey man, could you send me an email, I seem to have lost your email addy. I also need to know if it would be possible for you to do up some 1-2 paragraph descriptions for your maps, for use in the online game. I'd like to iclude them in the upcoming map pack (due for this Friday! http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/smile.gif)
Since you have like 30-40 maps out, it may be difficult to do, but any little bit would help. Let me know about it in your email to me if you could. Thanks!

Yeah Kraellin, we're working on that so we can put it into the next map pack. He's apparently got it to work...

at www.campaign.club.tip.nl (http://www.campaign.club.tip.nl) u can see the maps we use for Korea. if mapmakers make better maps or use original names than we might decide to take those...
