modding campaign map

**major_payne** · July 05, 2012, 06:34 AM

hi everyone,

is it possible to modd the campaign map of shogun 2?

**Moonhoplite** · July 05, 2012, 07:44 AM

Yes, it's the startpos.esf from CAMPAIGNS in Patch15 for Shogun 2, FotsPatch2 for Fots.

You can't add new regions and cities readily. Making changes require esf editor or packfilemager.

You'll also need to decompile it, to make more changes.

Good luck.

so it's impossible just like napoleon and empire ...

**Hazbones** · July 05, 2012, 11:08 PM

Correct... and if they don't change something, it will be the same unmoddable map in Rome 2 also.

Well, let's see about that now with the release of mod tools.

Please. No demands for bigger things like Korea or Ezo island or even god forbid Tanegashima.

Think small for now, like breaking down Hatakeyama of its 4 province ownerships and other similar things. Maybe break down to even smaller provinces in all the realm.

Exactly, the goal for now should be smaller provinces. Think very small like a village for a province.

Screw that noise! I'm going to remake Westeros, Middle Earth, AND Korea all on the same map with a giant statue of PSY doing Gangnam Style in place of Seoul!(/sarcasm)

That is a really good idea. I would love that.

I've already found this

Have you tried changing the borders between two regions? Even if it's not possible to add or remove regions being able to reshape the map will allow a greater variety of mods to be created.

This is an example 3dmax file, I have no idea how to export it.

I got this done though:

Wow...
Can you add a city to this or something?

that is wonderful news to know about campaign map can be shaped in 3ds max. But where is the campaign map file that can be opened in 3ds max or which file will we use to do access it.

**Col. Tartleton** · September 27, 2012, 03:32 PM

Shogun is roughly the same map size as Napoleon right? Is their anything limiting the maximum size of the map?

Something like Paradox would be hot. Although I suspect it would explode in flames. That kind of map would crap on Empire.

It's only been a day, let the Über-Modders do their stuff. I think creating brand new maps is still impossible but editing the current one would be more likely.
