    Question Expansion?

    So, I created this account to simply ask this question: Will you guys be expanding the mod eastwards to include the awesomeness that was the Middle Kingdom of China? Not to forget the many Mongol, Indian, SE Asian, and Korean tribes that could be included.

    I think its impossible, remember that the region limit of 200 is hardcoded, after all those parts of the world would require a hell lot of regions to be historical represented (EB), even more than the whole of Europe and North Africa.
    Oh!! and dont forget the culture slot limit is full (semitic,west hellenic,east hellenic, roman, eastern, barbarian, nomad) and the EB team cant make more (hardcoded).
    If im wrong then please correct me.

    Not to mention it would take half a decade of sheer work.

    And, really, not be super-historically accurate for this time-period. Yes there was interaction between the off-map spots and the map locations... but not at the rapidly-changing level portrayed by Total War

    And when Qin or Han arrives, then they would be the new AS/Ptolie giant....

    There is not a single mod that presents all these regions. The closest you will get for RTW is probably Zhan Guo (I'm not sure if it was ever finished, but you may be able to download the beta):

    For M2TW there is All Under Heaven, but it is an entirely different period (set roughly 1200-1300 years later during the second half of the Song era/dynasty.)

    There is also another mod called Eras Total Conquest (again in a different period). There are numerous campaigns to play but one of them is the entire world map in 1547, and you can play as some Asian factions.

    If a mod of the East in EB's time (272 BC) were to be made it would be awesome. I suggest someone start a sub-mod after EB2 is released and have the map go from Baktria to the Pacific.

    In China it is before the time of the unification under Qin Shi Huang and the Sinitic factions are the Qin, Yan, Zhao, Wei, Qi, Lu, Han and Chu.

    In southern China are several factions of a culture called 'Yue' by the Sinitic Chinese. These factions include Minyue, Yelang, Dian, Au Viet, and Van Lang.

    In Korea is the mighty Gojoseon empire and the much smaller Jin nation. Meanwhile in Japan the Yayoi culture is flourishing.

    From Baktria to Korea the northern steppe powers are Mazakata, Saka Rauka, Wusun, Yuezhi, Xiongnu, and Donghu.

    Baktria of course as a soon-to-be break off from the Seleukids.

    And in India the Mauryan Empire controls almost everything except for several tribute paying nations, Kilinga, Gandhara, Satavahana, Pandya, Cholas and Anuradhapura.

    hmm, I think I've thought about this too much.
