Actually.. if you dont already know, there is a big difference between 8 and 9. 8 is the older style of gameplay, where you have cities and everything is naturally automatic, but in 9, its a universal map instead of having different ones for each of the places of battle. You have to take into consideration the time it takes to move and to get from point A to point B, which gives it a unique twist(and you can only play as a ruler this time).
BTW, some suggestions. Where you have the city called Yiling, I believe it should be Jiangxia, because technically, Yiling was not east of Jiangling, rather to the west separating Ba(Yongan) from Jiangling. Guanling is spelled Guangling. Xinye and Xiangyang were technically under Cao Cao's control at this time, and Danglang should be Dangyang(unless its a different place which I am unfamiliar with). I also believe Jiangxia was under Sun control as well as Guiyang(which was part of the agreement between Liu Bei and Sun Quan as to how Jing was to be divided up). And, where you have Bohai, I believe it should be Beiping, but its up to you. Oh and one more thing, when you select your character at the very beginning, it says all the names are Cao Cao, for each of the kingdoms. Ive noticed this on many games and maybe its a problem that cant be fixed?
Anyway, aside from my constructive criticism, Id like to say that after playtesting Sun Quan, Im very pleased with the way this scenario came out. The rivers and cities are placed wonderfully and it allows for some interesting Wu gameplay(the only one Ive played so far). At the moment, its about 220, and I allied with Liu Bei to start off the game. I made some pathetic attempts on Hefei at first, but then marched around with Sun Quan and crushed Cao at Guangling, which took his attention away from Hefei, then I made a crushing strike for Cao Cao at Hefei with my fireships and then I took Xuyi and then called for peace. Right now Im planning a quick raid on Shouchun and Nuizhu then Im going into Xuzhou and Runan. Should be alot of fun playing the other two kingdoms and I love how I can waltz right up to Hanzhong on the river and take it with marines.
