cairnswk wrote:gimil,,,just a comment on the borders....on the blues and dark red the borders have that white tinge on the outline.
but is does not show the same on the bright red and light green.
is there anything you can do to correct/amend that?
the outerglow is consistant through all the boarders im not really sure what you mean?

yeah thats already fixed :wink:

there is many inaccuracies with the historie of this era. I have done best what i can with what is available to me while still making the map enjoyable.

considering all the changes of borders over the 3 kingdoms era, this is great, but i agree that you need to include some places like huo lio gate, (forget how to spell it) since this is where they joined forces to kill a traitor to the Han, and battled the assumed strongest warrior of the of the time here, LU Bu.

okay well....the most north western continent is properly called xi liang.

chang yang is yong an

you continent is bei ping

nan hai is han hai

he fei is where u have jian ye

jian ye is where u have chien an i think(not sure on this one

the one above xu is called ben hai

xu is xia pi

xu chang is where yu is

chang an is where yong or si is, again maybe muy thai guy can help.

central wei shpild be worth 7 as it was historically very hard t take over and cao cao just mde it look easy.

tian shui is where wu tu and pha si is i think.

jin yang is where bing is

pai yai and chiao is where the nanman kingdom was, when shu took it over they joined so make that a separate continant under shu maybe worth 2. then split yue sui up, this new continent shopuld be worth 3. yong an can be the north part and keep the name for the south part. also the name for north yi is riverlands.

thats all i have at the moment....

looks good so far, on a period that isn't the easiest to research. for the benefit of those of us who are either history buffs or archaeologists, can u change the dates to read AD 220-280 (few other people are likely to notice)?

personally i think ur bonuses are good. very reasonable. but there is a chance someone could get all of you or liang in a drop which isnt all that unlikely.
