It's kinda hard to think of names when we don't know the tech-tree and/or any hierarchy, sure we can guess but the information is lacking. That aside a few generic ideas.

Japan:
Minor Dojo -> Famous Dojo -> Imperial Instructor ...for regular sword infantry
Weapons Cache -> Provincal Armory -> Sohei Compound ...other infantry
Horse Trainer -> Calvery Stables -> Imperial Stables
Local Police -> Provincial Police -> Shinsengumi Office
...maybe get elite samurai from Shinsengumi...
Chinese techniques -> Legendary Rice -> Irrigation

China:
incorporate regular infantry into city expansion
Minor City -> Walled City -> Stronghold -> Banner Stronghold
Minister's Household -> Imperial Household -> Imperial Palace ...for elite troops
Courier Station -> Army Stables -> Imperial Armoury ..for calvery & specials

Demon:
Haunted Battleground -> Ritual Alter -> Necromancer ...for undead infantry
Deep Chasm -> Shadowed Lands -> Planer Rift ...for demon infantry
...just an idea but maybe you can have demons and undead be mutually exclusive...
Bandit Hideout -> Derilict Stables -> House of Nightmares ...for calvery

thats exactlly the kind of stuff i was looking for. as for the tech tree i dont think we will stray much from the pattern of the original game.... that said any ideas on changes to that format would be great aswell.

One thing that might be good is to have it so walls will have more of a benefit to the builders other than their obvious defensive purposes. Perhaps have them give a certain percentage bonus to public order due to law. I for one know that walls were a very obvious statement of who is in charge and that they plan to stay. Also try and do something to make squalor less of an issue, because as it is it really slows down games. I actually went through my files and increased all of the public health buildings by a half.

Another thing I'd like to see is maybe a "native recruitment building" which would basically allow you to produce troops that are available only in the areas that have their corresponding resource. This of course would be seperate from mercenary units, instead being a place where you could muster up units like Swabian Swordsmen ala MTW, though obviously they would not appear here, but hopefully you get the picture.
