@ebbe I am impressed with this mod. Most Japan mods try to play the Shogun/Samurai Swords/Ikusa game while your mod seriously simulates the actual war, with mountain passes and fortifications playing key roles.

@rogercooper

thanks to @TheDog and extra support from other heroes like @wc_sumpton ,for a very pleasant jolly good cooperation in this project... and we were serious digging deep in research
in old japanese maps for historical mount passes, locations of resources, cities and settlements and adding suitable army units and natural events....
creating extra matching sound effects and background sphere sounds, (check the arrows hitting wood or ships sailing away , haha ) adding extra sphere and strategy with partly random forwarding terr.'s and bonus or penalty "kami"
anyway, we had a lot of fun in creating! And we hope the ingame map downloads will be fixed sooner or later so that we can easier share it for players!

and if our TripleA improvement wishlist one day may become reality,
it will get closer to the result we had in mind

Shogun Advanced is now available for Download within TripleA

Remember it only works with a certain certain version of 2.6 now its 2.6.14650 as this version is capable of downloading maps.
Download it here
https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/releases

.
Thanks to Myrd/asvitkine for fixing 2.6 again

RogerCooper

@thedog Do versions after 14650 work as well.

Also, have the problems with 2.5 code been fixed.

@rogercooper
Do versions after 14650 work as well.
They should do, I tested 14650

Some info, the fix, 2.6 now uses the same file for 2.5 maps so
https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/blob/master/triplea_maps.yaml
So it will still have the same issues of old.

For the new proposed file download for 2.6, this is still waiting on @LaFayette, but his time is limited.

Im not sure what you mean by;
Also, have the problems with 2.5 code been fixed.

RogerCooper

@thedog The 2.5 code did not work correctly either.

I have been posting my collection of scenarios on Github using 2.6 standards.

TheDog

@rogercooper
2.6 & map.yml is the future, but LaFayette is not a frequent visitor anymore and it would appear he is the only one capable of making 2.6 & map.yml downloads work, so your call as to whether to backtrack over all your previous uploads and put them in triplea_maps.yaml

Perhaps just put the new ones from now on in triplea_maps.yaml ?

RogerCooper

@thedog I am going to finish off posting everything in the 2.6 way and then backtrack with triplea_maps.yaml.

TheDog

@rogercooper
On balance that is probably for the best, delay updating the flaky triplea_maps.yaml till you have to. Do you have 30+ maps uploaded and with more to come?

RogerCooper

@thedog I don't have precise numbers, but I have uploaded most of the maps that I have collected.
