1.20 Map teasers

[Grand Historian]

We already had Hetu Ala. Jianzhou is the new named one. But yeah Hetu's position changed.

Ah, my bad.

The new dev diary seems to show an updated Japan as well as a few more Chinese provinces if I'm not mistaken.

Fantastic!

 

[Sfan]

Now, let's hope the changes take into account what was best in the 200 suggestion threads about Asia in the last years, so that we don't get disappointed.

 

[Grand Historian]

Might want to update the OP.

Let's see, I see Hyuga, Higo, Hizen (which oddly now has Chikugo), Iwami, Bizen, Iyo, Kii and Tango of all provinces. Kyoto still isn't divided, but I'm overjoyed regardless.

Will update when I'm home

Wuchang has been split in China, hasn't it? Can't see more there, might be wrong.

It looks like it, but I can't be certain.

Japan got reworked. From Johan's twitter

 

[Koramei]

Whoah, that's a lot of new provinces.

 

[Metz]

I hope they improve the Low Countries and add a few more provinces to Britain and Italy.

 

[Zerodv]

How many new provinces?

 

[Mingmung]

I'm eager to hear @Grand Historian 's view on the 1444 Japan map!

 

[Anthedon]

More provinces for the Province God (DDRJake).

 

[Katsuki126]

And new clans !
Did you notice that the Shogun do not control Mino anymore ?
Only Kyoto and the small one (who get changed) with a Uesugi core on it.
Maybe the shogunate mechanics will definitely change ?

My post from the DD:

To be perfectly honest, the only thing I've really paid attention to so far in this DD is that screenshot. And I have to say Japan looks great! Six province Kyushu, three province Shikoku, San'in and San'yo as their own areas, you guys have really outdone yourselves this time!

The only criticisms I can really offer for the map are that Chikugo really shouldn't be in Hizen as the Otomo had been exerting their loose authority over it even as early as 1444 - it wasn't until Takanobu Ryuzoji murdered Shigenami Kamachi in 1579 to get Yanagawa castle that Chikugo fell under a Hizen domain's outright rule. That, and Harima seems a little on the small side.

Actually, that's pretty much all the provinces I asked for in western Japan; Hyuga, Higo, Hizen, Iyo, Iwami, Bizen, Kii and surprisingly even Tango are all in now - the only thing actually missing so far is a Kyoto split. I can't make out eastern Japan, though, but if it's as good as their western work I'm not too concerned.

My post from the DD:

But isn't that map different because of the timeframe? Haven't been able to take a good look.

Eh? Are there multiple teaser screenshots? Was all of Japan revealed in one of them?

[Grand Historian]

Ah, thanks.

 

[Koramei]

How many new provinces?

Nearly double. ~25 to ~40. I think it's warranted, but Japan was already the densest part of the East Asian map, so I'm hoping its neighbors get more new provinces than the handful we've seen.

Is it too beautiful for you to believe it ?
