This is my miniscule contribution to the Shogun community. Starting terrorities for each clan are as historically accurate as possible on the Shogun map. Proof you don't need to distort history to get a balanced game:) During my playtesting each clan with the Imagawa took control of the East at least once. Uesugi dominated about 40-50% of time. Imagawa always starts off extremely strong but then overextends himself and is eliminated. Unsure about the West as I was having some problems getting Mori going early on. Without giving him the mine in Aki he does absolutely nothing. Could probably get around that by tweaking his building_choice.txt to favor mines.
Included is tweaked Owari map. I got tired of the AI trying to form an assualt column only to get trapped by the huts and just sit there like idiots. So I simply deleted the buildings and trees on the AI's side of the river and problem solved.
Play it with the stats of your choice. Just my personal opinion but using the building+unit choice.txt's and invasion.txt's from Dr. Miller's Amagi campaigns seem to give a better game.
A big thanks to Hecose for his editor. Thanks also to everyone else who helped discover how to modify the game. And of course thanks to KOEI for giving me my first taste of Sengoku era wargaming.
