Not bad, the units are a little dark and look shadowed

The kind of armour is the so-called "black iron" model, for what i could understand from my book "A Japan's history" ( black iron: japanese way to say steel; they learned how to make it from Portoguese merchants and priests. It was a lot more strong than traditional japanese armours, but a lot more expensive. Only Feudal lords - a.k.a. Daimyo - could afford them... ).
But I think i'll remove shadows ASAP.

A "Promethian" scen, no. But...   another one' scenario about XVI.th century in Japan, YES ( sorry, I'm not going to tell you another word about him; as we use to say, "tell about sins, don't tell about sinners": i promised him, sorry ).

I'm sorry for my ignorance, yes Blackthorne is based on William Blake. He is an english pilot on a dutch ship that became a friend of the Shogun.
Quote:
A question. In XVI century several Japanese cities were almost indipendent from daimyo's power ( just look at Osaka: only Toyotomi Hideyoshi subdued tha town - and skinned alive its defensors ).
To clean this up as well, historicly this happend before the book Shogun occured. Toyotomi (Taiko in Shogun) was a peasant that united Japan, but since he was a peasant he could not achieve Shogunate. The Taiko only had 1 child (in the book) after a lot of effort . When the Taiko died he knew that there would be problems in Japan if he did not set up a governing body that would control Japan untill his son became of age. He set up 5 regents (2 Christian diamyos Tokugawa[Toranaga], Ishido, and some other guy  )
Each diamyo hated each other so in prinicpale they would never unite against one another. Ishido used lies to change the allegance against Toranaga, which the book takes over. The book talks about, beside the person story, how Toranaga tryed to gain support. Toranaga was an accomplished warrior and had the control of the most powerful Province, the Kunato. Toranaga defeted Ishido's army in 1 battle and the rest of Japan fell. Toranaga becomes leader and is "persuaded" to become Shogun untill the Tiako's sun becomes of age. Then Toranaga married the heir's mother and then the heir became part of Toranaga's familly continueing the lineage os Shoguns that controlled Japan up to the 19th century. They closed off Japan's borders except for Nagasaki.
That is basically all I know. Now back to the scenario
Found some maps that will help with the boundaries and major cities. Now i just need to get all the graphics done.
Can I, and should I edit the city window graphic?
