adding new provinces

[knicolas2]

so far is it possible to add for example in north america on the existing wild land a province and some cities?

Nope i am sorry for that the the campaigne map in ETW is hardly coded

There is none as of the moment, but let us hope that a good hearted soul will be able to find a way to develop tools and ways for adding regions and provinces.

Don't you mean hard-coded?

Why is that impossible to use the warpath map of America in the grand campaign? Not that it change a lot of things, but it still looks a bit better.

Well, technically is not Hard coded.

The maps in all of the games use co-ordinates used in images and in text files that help to generate an in-game map. The same applies for Empire: Total War, only difference is that Empire uses numbered co-ordinates rather than pixel co-ordinates that had to be placed on an image file (Medieval 2 and Rome TW). I plan to take another look through the map files soon, and I'll report back to you if I find anything that will help you add new provinces.

I heard you could move the borders around now. No progress on anything substantial, but regions are nice...

[RyanJLock]

How exactly? Would it be through changing the co-ords in the map esf's or changing the region's dds also in the regions.esf?

From what I've understood, border of provinces shown on map are only esthetic, and do not effect the map in itself. If you want more info or want to help about maps, I believe that you should have a look at this thread:
