    That map is looking seriously detailed already....

    I thought you hadn't done that much work on it. I stand corrected

    I think you should use the second one. I mean, you don't need all of Hokkaido. And as for the map with the faction colours, assuming that's going to be the startign provinces and such, Uesugi have a lot of land......

    But then again, what do I know? Great work guys.

    Excellent work, though it certainly has great potential for a najor unbalanced game. Uesugi is perhaps too strong, while the Hosokawa and Mioshi are basically at war already.

    Hello Hojo Ujimara those are not the final maps,just the work on progress.The starting areas for campaign start date 1524.So yes Uesugi has lots of land but i promise you that the Uesugi will have problems holding those.

    will the map be large?

    I have noticed that quitea few provinces have the name of their primary castles. Hammamatsu, Edo, Sendai ect ect...
    At least the first, wouldn't it be better to call it by the old STW name?

    These are districts and most districts were named after the castle that ruled those districts but not all.

    I think that the BDH would be a right man to answer this, but you are right.The mainland is there because we need to have certain water land mass ratio to avoid CDT.

    We really could if we wanted to. I think that if we did mini campaigns that's be the top one followed by Shingen vs Kenshin and the Mongol Invasion in no particular order.

    The map is well on its way to completion thanks to the hard work and ingenuity of bdh! His new method of integrating GIS into the map making process is truely remarkable. Here are a few peaks of where the map is:

    campaign mode:

    lots of valleys to be ambushed from!

    Mountain Valley:

    Steep valleys very similiar to reality

    Ground type:

    the dark areas are impassible, med green is sparse trees, light green is plains

    Height map:

    adapted directly from real satellite data. cant get more realistic than this!

    some other notes:

    The sea had to be filled for testing purposes, and the Korean peninsula had to be removed due to unexpected fatal water issues.

    great job bdh!

    I did some upgrades on the valley system. The mountains will be covered by trees instead of the standard mountainous terrain (as in Japan)
    My goal is to make it one of the most complicated valley systems in rtw, its especially nice since its based off the actual valley systems in Japan If all goes well this will come out to be a fun map with lots of chokepoints and multiple routes leading to the same place. Hopefully there will be too many entrances to block with a single fort . Just don't get lost!

    After seeing the screenshot of the valley, battles are going to be fun, depending on the type and size of forces going head to head, This is good
