Description:

One of the first things I noticed on the campaign map was the complete lack of continuity in the naming of commanderies, despite the fact that there is a plethora of resources available. The names of commanderies are a weird mix of commanderies, provinces (Youzhou, Yangzhou, Yizhou, etc.), and cities (Jianye, Changan, Chengdu, etc.). Many others were placed completely in the wrong geographic location (Jincheng, Yingchuan, Donghai, etc.). Using available resources I have renamed all of the commanderies that were either misnamed or incorrectly placed on the map. An issue that I had, that many familiar with the Three Kingdoms era will realize, is that CA apparently randomly placed cities on the map and haphazardly drew commandery borders. Quite frustrating, to say the least, particularly for an "historical" title.

The mod only changes text, so it should be compatible with pretty much anything.

The following have been renamed to proper commandery names:
Ye renamed to Wei : Ye is the principle city of Wei commandery. The reason Cao Cao’s state was called Wei, was because of his title to the commandery of Wei.
Jiangyang renamed to Jianwei: In 221 Liu Bei divided Jianwei to establish Jiangyang commandery. So, prior to that, Jiangyang commandery didn’t exist.
Youzhou renamed to Zhuo : Youzhou is a province, with Zhuo commandery belonging to that province. Zhuo, with its capital city of Fanyang, was the seat of Liu Yu and the provincial government.
Chengdu renamed to Shu : Chengdu is the principle city of Shu commandery. The reason Liu Bei’s state is commonly referred to as Shu, is because his base was in Shu commandery.
Lingling renamed to Guiyang : Guiyang was one of the 4 major commanderies of southern Jing province. For some reason Lingling, which is actually further west, was put in its place.
Luoyang renamed to Henan : Luoyang (Eastern capital of the Han) was the principle city of Henan commandery.
Cangwu renamed to Lingling : Lingling, like Guiyang, was one of the 4 major commanderies of southern Jing. It fits fairly well where Cangwu was haphazardly drawn up.
Yingchuan renamed to Chenliu : CA had Yingchuan much too far north and geographically in the wrong province (Yan as opposed to Yu). Chenliu fits better in the area assigned.
Badong renamed to Jianping : Badong was small and on the opposite (north) side of the Yangtze, so Jianping fits better.
Changan renamed to Jingzhao : Changan (Western capital of the Han) was the principle city of Jingzhao commandery.
Yizhou renamed to Jianning : Yizhou is a province name, and the current border essentially encompasses where Jianning commandery was.
Jianye renamed to Danyang : Jianye was the principle city in Danyang commandery.
Taishan renamed to Le’an : A terrible naming, as Taishan is much further south (south of Taishan mountains). With several commanderies covered in this area, Le’an appeared to be the best fit.
Chen renamed to Yingchuan : As noted above, CA had Yingchuan in the wrong place. It is now roughly where it should be. Yingchuan was the commandery that contained the city of Xuchang.
Pengcheng renamed to Pei : Pengcheng was fairly small, while Pei was quite the opposite. The areas covered roughly equate to Pei, with Pei also being much more important.
Gaoliang renamed to Cangwu : The addition of Gaoliang is baffling, but the southern portion of Cangwu covered this area.
Yangzhou renamed to Jiujiang : Yangzhou was a province, with Jiujiang (capital Shouchun) being the northern most commandery of that province. CA’s Yangzhou pretty much encompasses the same areas as Jiujiang did.
Jiangling renamed to Nan : Jiangling was the principle city of Nan prefecture.
Donghai renamed to Xiapi : Donghai was a bit further north, and extended further west, than what CA had. Xiapi is a much better fit, and much more famous, than Donghai.
Henei renamed to Ji : CA has Hedong encompassing the historic areas of both Hedong and Henei, with their Henei being way too far east. Yangping commandery fits within the outlined borders perfectly, although CA’s border for this commandery is awful.
Dongou renamed to Linhai : Dongou is obscure and is only a county, not a commandery. Linhai fits better.
Jincheng renamed to Longxi : Jincheng was almost exclusively north of the Yellow River, so in game it is out of place. Longxi commandery (occupied by both Han Sui and Ma Teng) is the commandery that historically covered those areas represented in the game.
