hey guys. im not very experienced with proper modding (i edited and tampered with files in rome and mtw2), but if it really came down to it, all i could do was some coding.

now that i've got that out of the way, i would like to explain my hope for a possible map expansion, removing the indonesian trade route, and turning it into land (history show us that the europeans, and in particular the dutch, were very active in the area at this point). Now, if that land was included, making a NEW trading route/land - like China or Japan!

it is my little dream for europeans to make contact with the Asian Nations in the Totalwar series (after all, china DID have contact with the West since around the time of Henry VIII unless im mistaken). Maybe due to Japans policies of self sufficiency at the time, only make 1 or 2 lucrative trading spots for them...?

Overall it is just an idea, but i hope im not the only one who has this idea...

feedback is very welcome.
