Non European map

[Stefan SILNI]

Is there any non european map, exp. Asia or something else?

Welcome to the forum, Stefan SILNI! :halloha:

In principle it is possible to create a new map. KoH has a mapeditor built in that is capable of creating new maps. However there are a few things to be considered:
1. You need a lot of historical material. Maps, mainly. But also material about rulers, provinces, etc.
2. You need to create such a map basically alone. You can't really join forces if you don't take turns editing.
3. You also have to create new units, because asia has other units than europe had. It's very time consuming to make unit animations.
4. Will it be fun to play? Does the chosen political situation have the potential of a fun game?

So a map of asia is really a very big project.
A map of the early british isles f.e. would be possible however. It should be possible to obtain the necessary historical documents. You can reuse the original animations. The political situation allows nice a fun game, because the different earldoms can struggle for power. Also you can create that map in any scale. Small, with only as many provinces as it currently has in KoH, or very big, with many more smaller provinces.

I dont know how, didn't you guys figure it all out though? Is no one making a mod at the moment?

[Angryminer]

Sorry, unfortunately I do have a life beside this. It's just an extremely big amount of work that's necessary to do such a project and I can't do it.

strange, there was so much excitement when the word came out about the editor, I'm surprised nothing came of it.

The existence of the "editor" was known since one month after release. And you are surprised *now*? :rolleyes:

Besides, that so-called "editor" is a part of the KoH package that was never intended for release and was never finished in that way that average Joe can put it to any good use. It's as buggy as they come.
So it's no real wonder that no great mod has come from it. Most of the existing mods were done by plain old text-editor.
