    Personally I am hoping that one of the first mods to come out for Empire will be one adding South America, Africa and Australia to the campaign map (and maybe South East Asia too, although China and Japan may be a bridge too far). Hopefully simply adding large swathes of land to the campaign map will be easier this time around, especially since CA have announced there will no longer be an upper limit to the number of provinces.

    Oh, for a nice spiffy WYSIWYG campaign map editor to be included with the game!

    A campaign map editor will make it so much easier for people making new campaign maps, and no hardcoded province limit sounds great as well.

    What I was talking about were the Trade Theaters! If it is only a transitional zone, then why not have the trade areas.


    Japan was withdrawn and not really trading but China was. Spain held the Philippines. I was just wondering if there were others already there. We didn’t hear about the Spice Islands until just a bit ago. We just don’t know what is there yet and what we can or cannot add.

    I hope you are right about more areas appearing as trade theatres. We can only hope (or hope that trade areas are addable via mod).

    I do hope it is possible to mod in the rest of the world. This was the time-period when world wars began to take shape. It would be a shame to deny that in a Total War game.

    Depending on how easy it will be to add new landmasses this might be possible.

    Don't forget though, new land means new factions, new units, new architectural styles etc. A mod that added in Africa, Asia and South America would be a heck of a lot of work. It would take a vert talented modder or team to do it well.

    It would be the best mod ever though.

    I hope they come out with a Kingdoms-like addon that centers on Asia and the Great Game between Russia and the British.
