Historical inaccuracy aside, I don't see any reason not to release it as a generic East Asian "fantasy" set. Anything is better than the Panda Express graphics that Firaxis supplied Civ3 with!

I thought Kyriakos was trying to build an ancient Chinese set, not a medieval one. I will stop posting Chin and Han examples.I think the texture is okay and fine, as I know that the House of Ying was fond of black.
@ShiroKobbure, sloped stone base was not an unique structure of Japan, adjacent cultural sphere can turn into great influence and resulted in similarity. Moreover, the 2nd link that you have provided was a mausoleum complex origined from Han Dynasty. And obviously the picture of the 4th link was a modernly built tourist attraction or some kind of landmark. I am sorry and please don't mind of my fastidious actions on those sites...
The building materials of Chinese walls varies, mainly consisted of rammed earth, lime and glutinous rice, covered with green bricks, here are some pictures of the remaining city walls in China for reference:

Here is a webpage about the City Wall of Nanjing, just in case if you want some information
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/City_Wall_of_Nanjing
As I said before in a previous post, structures from that time mostly no longer exist, so I was posting the best examples I could for key features, such as stone bases, red columns, etc. The two links were of the old Chin capital. The 3rd link was a Han tomb and the 4th was a much later design, but I never said what those were in my post, they were just examples of architecture that could pass for ancient China.
You are right about slopped bases not being only found in medieval Japan, but the Chinese never really built castles, they mostly build cities inside fortifications. So a castle in the middle of the city with those slopping walls, looks more medieval Japanese than ancient Chinese. And I also feel straight stone bases and walls are more iconic of ancient China.

I like it but the statue appears to be slightly on top of one of the houses in the size 2 or am I just seeing things.

I think theres something a little odd about the statue, Maybe shrink it down?
I think the set would look better without it personally.
