i've found names for the above four territories from a bulletin board discussion about china invading vietnam. post #3 gives the answers.

http://www.chinahistoryforum.com/index. ... opic=10661

At the end of the Eastern Han, Northern Vietnam was divided into the Han prefectures of Rinan (south), Jiuzhen (central) and Jiaozhi (north). Together with the prefectures of what is now Guangdong and Guangxi (Nanhai, Hepu, Cangwu and Yulin), it was administered as a single province called Jiaozhou, under a Governor.

modern chinese pinyin convention is for place names to be written as one multisyllabic word, not as two words hyphenated. although it's not essential that we do this, we must be consistent across the whole of the map.

Not a fan of the idea that green can be defended from three countries but is worth 8.

I think the bonuses are a little high all around, but they balance out I guess, so it's all good.

i forgot to mention something. we need to juggle the names of the three wu provinces. the southernmost province, which consists of nanhai, hepu, cangwu and yulin, is on our map as yang. the paragraph below clearly says it is called jiao. the eastern province of wu is supposed to be yang, which means that, by elimination, jing must be wu's northern province.

as promised

liang

liang continent is properly called xi liang.


you

you continent is bei ping

central wei

the one above xu is called ben hai

ye is xia pi

chang an is where si is

xu chang is where yu is

he fei is where u have xu

wei jing is jei ting

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

north yi

the name for north yi is riverlands.

chang yang is yong an

tian shui is where pha si is i think.

south yi
pai yai and chiao is northeast of 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 4. yong an can be the north part and keep the name for the south part.

yang
yang is jiao
jiao is jing

chiao-chin is jiaozhi
nan-hai is nanhai
he-p'u is hepu
yu-lin is cangwu (location is present-day wuzhou)
ts'ang-wu is yulin (location is present-day guilin)

move pearl river to left side of nanhai
make cangwu smaller so it does not border the sea
use pearl river to separate nanhai from hepu
narrow the upstream part of pearl river so nanhai borders cangwu
add mountains between nanhai and luling


jing


so there, me and ian did about 55:45...looks like you have two helpers gimil lol

sam

hope this is clearer! i've removed hyphens and spaces from all of the new place names and, after studying historical territory descriptions from the webpage below, i propose some geographical amendments.

http://www.anu.edu.au/asianstudies/decr ... china.html

yang is jiao

territory names:
chiao-chin is jiaozhi
nan-hai is nanhai
he-p'u is hepu
yu-lin is cangwu (location is present-day wuzhou)
ts'ang-wu is yulin (location is present-day guilin)

geography:
move pearl river to left side of nanhai
make cangwu smaller so it does not border the sea
use pearl river to separate nanhai from hepu
narrow the upstream part of pearl river so nanhai borders cangwu
add mountains between nanhai and luling

jiao is jing

territory names:
hang-sha is changsha
ling-ling is lingling
kuei-yang is guiyang
wu-ling is wuling

geography:
add mountains between changsha and luling

jing is yang

territory names:
i haven't done enough research to establish what the pinyin names are supposed to be, but maybe u have the answers already!

geography:
merge the two luling territories into one.

I bought my ps2 so I could play dw5, it is still a game that I go back to when I get tired of Halo 8) I think that it looks good but I also think that you should put in graphics to help give it a more anciant china feel :)

p.s. I love WU :D

This map sucks ass. I can't even see the names of the territories because they're practically invisible against the background, what to speak of actually reading them.

This would be a very poor map to play.

actually they're quite easy to read and it does look fun. It is on vacation though.

Trolling doesn't accomplish anything. Here's the latest version I saw in the thread by the way.

That is a very interesting response.

I like the map, but not the key. the solid blocks of color just aren't working for me.

But since this map is on vacation, I will leave it alone for now.
