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.

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** · June 25, 2012, 11:56 PM

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:

i have a tip ive tried the texture map by fortess and you cant move on these areas my tip is actually a first step to find out how to make some areas like arabia Sahara hymayala's and the westeren plains playable you cant move units on it however the other black area between Louisiana and new mexico is playable if we can find the settings of the playable wildernis areas i will give it a try once that is done if (its ever done) i will try to add some regions no luck can be guaranteed

It is not yet possible to add or modify region in ETW.
Tools provided by CA only work for S2TW/FotS, however they are interesting because they give an idea about the process use by CA to create the campaign map.
But don't expect any news soon.
