Do you have any advice Curt on shading curved surfaces yourself? Your a pretty damn good unit designer yourself.

I'm still hoping to produce it, but there are allot of problems involved in making it. First of all, as much as I loved the book the details of the War of the Asuras weren't specific enough to have a clear and complete timeline between the wars start and finish.
This means I'll have to either guess at several details based on events which occured in the book or make up events on my own. Still, I do love the concept and I think it would make for a great scenario one day.
I would need a great deal of help, especially from people who've read the book and can help me out with the historical details. Have you read the book Typhoon? If you have then perhaps I could try to enlist you in helping out.

I have five airplanes and that tank covered, thats about it. I have no idea who the playable civ's should be, if I should try to cover the entire war or only a small part of it, I'm not even sure how the globe should be divided up. I don't know any of the world leaders, I don't even really know what units to use.
If you do indeed want to help then I could sure use your input on any of these questions.

Well Broken_Erika, I have heard of the "Elder Scrolls" series I haven't actually read them. Typhoon, I think Yingzhou should also be represented as it was an independant Chinese nation in North America. I also think Japan should be under Chinese controll as their independance wasn't formally reconized by China until China needed the insentive to get more Japanese to enlist in the later years of the war I believe.
Now as far as the tech tree goes, my idea is to have the war begin around what would be described as our 1880 and proceed all the way to what would be our 1950. This would mean the "War of the Asuras" spans the era of the cavalry solider to the jet aircraft and early balistic missile.

Hmmm.... being a Chinese colony, they would, like Canada was in WW1, been in the war to help the Mother country. Probably they would have to fight their Muslim opposite numbers on the other end of the continent. (Kuo said something about the Chinese pushing the Muslims off Yingzhou.)
Can't remember whether the Hodensaunee (Native Americans) were involved.  Was it neutral at the beginning and joined later? (Quite an accurate anologue to the USA don't you think?  )
BTW, have you wondered whether the Japanese- Tranvacore revolt being plotted by Gen and Co. in Yingzhou manage to succede?

Can't argue with you here.

Don't forget those airship-fighter combinations, and that monster intercontinental artillery shell that squashed Kuo.  I remember some mention about armoured cars, but no tanks. Given the Manchus traditional superiority in cavalry, I think you are correct in assuming that they and the Muslims would probably have a large corps of cavalry at the beginning of the war. Machine guns would change that as it did in our timeline, though. Most of the combat in the chapter is infantry based.

Well Typhoon, I seemed to remember getting the impression that the Japanese- Tranvacore organized revolt in Yingzhou did indeed succeed before the "War of the Asuras" began, which is why I think they should be represented by their own civ.
I also remember a Hodensaunee diplomat travelling in Tranvacore (India) saying that his people were begining to industrialize their nations and even build Tranvacore style warships. I think its hard to imagine the Hodensaunee not getting involved in the war, especially with the aggresive muslim colonists on the east coast of Yingzhou (North America).
This beckens the question, are there enough civ slots for all the playable nations? Perhaps China and Hodensaunee should be one civ as they were allies.

But like I said, Japan shouldn't be considered for a slot as its one of the lands captured by China under Qing rule. I still think India and China should possibly be one single civ as they were allies, but then again that could create a single civ which is just too large and powerfull.
Anyways, I think I'll get to work on some more hypothetical tanks and aircraft. Do you agree on the technological progresion I described? Of just how much technology advanced during the war Typhoon?

Hmmm... an iron hulled tireme eh? Now you say its a cross between a Roman tireme and a Dreadnaught, does this mean it has an iron hull or a steel hull? The only difference this means is the colour of the hull when the unit is rendered. I believe black is the prefered colour of iron in this game and grey is the prefered colour of steel.
