Kirby,

If you can import some Chinese architecture, you will be my personal hero. Something map-makers sorely need.

learning the process now and sourcing suitable 'free' Chinese architecture to try.

I'd think you'd need at least 50 or so new objects to make the cities look different and not just factory auto popped style look.

Once I've learned the process then start experimenting with the sourced Chinese architecture.

Have found a very good source for IJA IJN airfields for Formosa as well.

When I made the Upper Burma map not knowing at the time the height cut off point in il_2 the mountains looked horrible.

I'm not convinced you need totally new buildings. You can take the Uflaake approach and just put new skins on the old Slovakia buildings. Apart from pagodas and other unique buildings, a brick or wood cottage or labourer's house is going to look much the same anywhere.

Now that we got the excellent Henyang map, this map would fill a BIG gap! Not least when it comes to the early phases of the Sino-Japanese war: several crucial battles in 1937 took place on the area covered.

I hope the projects isn't dead ...  :-|
