It's disappointing but the remakes of the original STW maps for Samurai Wars do not provide the same gameplay because the red zone border was increased in MTW from 2 tiles to 3 tiles, and you can't go into the red zone in MTW the way you could in STW. As a result, the strategies used on those original maps don't work as well, and the playable area is smaller. The most successful remake was of Obake's Horselands custom map. Also, his excellent Rivercrossings map won't work because water is not fordable in MTW where is was in STW. A lot of Samurai Wars games were played with these small original maps in an attempt to capture STW's original feel, but it only really works with 1v1 or 2v2 battles. If people would rather play CBR's Community mod, I'd be up for that.
