i see that you have 5 country, maybe you can split japan in half and split manchura in half too.

I guess i'm used to the world 2.0 format, but i think you should format it

Manchura +6
Fukien +6
Manchura + Fukien + 15

I agree splitting up japan might be a good idea. On how...I'd like to see something other than 'north/south'. Perhaps if you message Nobunaga...he could suggest better names than 'north/south' for the areas...as I believe he lives/is from Japan.

China seems like a huge mess...I'm going to have to look over it and comment on it later.

I agree that China just doesn't seem right, it's a tricky one. I also think Japan could be split different. I don't know though, my knowlegde of Asia is lacking.

I believe that Japan should be split south of Shinano, as that feels like a more natural split.

also mongolia baotoi and heibi down to current split would be another possible split of china.

I completely agree with reverend_kyle's comments. They would give you continents of varying size and borders which is what you want.

As far as I know that region is called Manchuria not Manchura. Check it out and amend if I am right.

i think u should do Japan similar to China. meaning not put the same nomber of terras but put 7/8 on 1 and 4/5 on the other.

i aso feel Tokyo is a bit small, could u make it a bit bigger.

got a few updates in this one...

-fixed typo, it is "manchuria"
-changed japan
-nishi nihon "west japan"
-Higashi nihon "east japan"
-talked to nobunaga to get those names. he said everything west of sagami was west japan, but for playability i moved it over one zone, to make the continents different sized.
-changed bonuses
-changed bonuses format to match the "world 2.0" format
-reworked china changing borders and bonuses
-i think this way matches real life a little more
-the great wall of china follows more or less the border of baotou as it is drawn now.

Im not sure if I should put the wall in or not, if its in i feel like it should cross the entire border, and that might hurt flow, unless I maybe add a sea contact that goes around it? not sure. opinions?

any ideas i missed? does china look better? or is it still kinda messy....

i just don't think this map stand out enough for me to want to play it... I mean, it looks okay, but to some of the others that are in the process of being made this pales in comparison...

The background or the colors... or the concept, just anything could be different to make it more unique and interesting

Bonuses:


Manchuria: 2
Fukien: 2
South Japan:2
North Japan:2

All of China: +2


Face it, if anybody gets to a point where they hold either all of manchuria or fukien and nobody can break it, then they have already won the game. The bonuses you have make the masses of land not even worthwhile to take. A complete waste of territory in my opinion (kinda like Asia on the Classic Map or World2.0 map). Make em 2. Then they'll be valuable holdings and will have a chance for people to actually hold em for sometime throughout the game.

by the way, someone could just hold vladivastok and baotou and have everything in the middle. That would give them manchuria AND north korea. If manchuria was worth 7 that would be a Whopping bonus of 9 with 2 borders.. a bit unfair, doncha think?

manchuria was changed to 4 in the last redo and north korea is 2 so that would give you a bonus of 6. not terribly unfair in my opinion.

Fukien: 2

Fukien is 13 territories. a bonus of 2 does not seem fair.

i just don't think this map stand out enough for me to want to play it... I mean, it looks okay, but to some of the others that are in the process of being made this pales in comparison...

if other people agree please let me know, this process is time consuming and id rather not spend my time if people dont like the map...

I thought we were splitting China into 3 regions..


As of now the map is going to be focused all towards japan and south korea and china will be shucked aside til last.
