actually it was pang tong that was the spy from what i have read.

am i correct in assuming u are referring to when Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Sun Jian joined forces with Yuan Shu against dong zhou?

the yuan shu coalition against dong zhou was in luo yang which is where the han capital was because dong zhou overtook the capital and replaced the original emperor with his own emperor at that time. based on ur map, luo yang would be in the si province.

It's too top - bottom. You can defend the entire north side from a single territory. It's fucked.

Liu Bei was actually just a subordinate under Gongsun Zan, with Yuan Shao leading them all.

Si Shui and Hu Lao Gates (although they are one and the same), are most likely in Wei Jing (by your map).

P.S. I personally really like the idea of a Battle of Red Wall map. :wink:

I love the map! It's nice and simple, but yet elegant and unique. Too many maps have too much fluff, instead of being worried about gameplay itself. I can't wait to see how quickly this gets through the foundry :D. Great job so far, and keep up the good work.

If you're up to it I'd like to see better mountains in the next draft. Also I'd like to suggest WidowMaker's bonus calculator to figure out the bonuses. If you aren't sure what that is let me know and I'll hunt it down for you.

I don't know if I like Wei Jing being a one stop shop to defending the entire Wei area. Although at the point you'd be doing that you are probably winning anyway so it probably isn't a big deal.

i didnt go into detail with that part, but yeah ur techinically right even though gongsun zan is so minor a character.

maybe u can incorporate the silk road, as there was a part of the road that originated from chang an to the south eastern wu regions.

EDIT: i just threw this idea out as it the silk road is pretty famous and had existed during that period. u could make it sort of like what qwert did with his tunnels on the iwo jima map but its up to u. i just thought it would provide a way to connect the south to the north if there was no sea route.

they werent a part of china or the three kingdoms during that era. the three kingdoms were based on mainland china. thats probably y they were left out.

the silk road was famous for connecting europe to asia, but there was a southern route.

gimil here is link to silk road at wiki, there is also a pic of it during first century so try to position it accordingly to ur map.
