I have made this version of Te Tai Poutini wider (400 up from 300 width), and wider placement for player Town Centers to spawn (0-35 up from 0-12), and added 1 native settlement per player +1 extra settlement, and increased the amount of land treasures and made treasures spawn closer together.
Massif Central I've added more trees (2x), more trees in each mini-forest (20-30, instead of 10-20), and six settlements, and added more sheep around the map (5x per player instead of 2x).
On Fiji I have reduced the amount of trees by 50%, reduced water treasures by half (8x instead of 18x per player), and included 4 native settlements.
With Pohnpei there are 5 native settlements, and in this map you start with your units in 2 Galleons. The AI does not play this map, so it's multiplayer only.
Nile River I've added an extra treasure per mine (up to 2 per mine), lowered treasure difficulty for these treasures, increased treasure difficulty for the treasures in the north river shallows, and added 6 Mameluke Encampments.
Australia I've added 4 native settlements (up from 2).
New Unknown Natives there are always 5 types of natives, and these include any of the original Native American and Asian Natives, plus the Mercenary Encampments, Aborigines and Pirate Coves. Also, up to 3 of each native site spawn, for a total of up to 15 native sites on the map each time (probably sometimes less for 1v1 dependent on how the map spawns). Native sites also spawn closer together on this version of unknown. Also this New Unknown map uses the new treasures used for this mod, and also has water treasures when it's a water map.
Pirate Hispaniola has 4-6 Pirate Coves instead of Carib Settlements, and Water Treasures.
I've added special versions of the Unknown Map: New Unknown Africa, New Unknown Europe, New Unknown Mediterranean, New Unknown Middle East, New Unknown Nordic, New Unknown Oceania. On these you will always get an African-themed map, or always get a European-themed map, or always get a Mediterranean themed map, and so one with Middle East, Nordic, and Oceania-themed maps. This is instead of the randomized version of New Unknown Natives, which picks randomly between these six options. These still have the extra native sites on them, including the New Mercenary Encampments and Aborigines.
To the New Unknown Maps I've also now added Cossacks, Tartars, Swiss, Highlanders, Fusiliers, Hackapell Encampments. These are in addition to the other 14 New Native Minor Civs, and all of the original Native American and Asian Minor Civs.
Russian Maps have Cossack and Tartar Encampments on them, and Nordic Maps have Fusilier and Hackapell Encampments on them. Nordic Fjord also has more Water Treasures (4x per player instead of 3x).
On Anatolia there is Corsair Encampment per player, on Chinese Inland China there are four Native Posts, 2 Ming, 2 Manchu, one each for both sides of the map, as well as 5 Trading Posts on the Trading Route (up from 3); on Japanese Korea there are 2 Yojimbo Encampments and 1 Ronin Encampment, on Japanese Silk Road there are always Yojimbo Encampments and Ronin Encampments (even though the map is unchanged).
Barbary Sahara is the Sahara Map with Corsair Encampments; I have updated Egyptian Sahara to have only Mameluke Encampments (instead of both Mameluke and Corsair Encampments). On Indian Himalayas and Indian Himalayas - Upper I have added Jat and Resistance Encampments in place of the traditional Bhakti and Udasi Settlements.
On Italian Sicily I've added starting Deer and extra Deer Herds. The Italian Sicily Whales I've also added Humpback Whales on the map. NR Sicily Natives is for original Asian Dynasties, with Whales, Deer, Jesuit Missions.
African Maps have Native Commodities on them. In my mod they train Food/Wood/Coin/XP Crates or Cows. Idea is from Wars of Liberty. These can be Cattle, Cocoa, Coffee, Diamonds, Ebony, Figurines, Gems, Gold, Incense, Ivory, Literature, Manioc, Oil, Palmoil, Rubber, Salt, Silk, Slaves, Treasures, Vanilla.
On Albanian Dalmatia Whales I've added Humpback Whales on the map. Map is the same otherwise.

Place the contents of the folder in My Documents - My Games - Age of Empires III - RM3
Then run Age of Empires III: Asian Dynasties and select "Custom Maps" in Single Player or Online to play.
Shows up as "NR Japanese Hokkaido".
The African Maps still need some work on them.
Gold Coast is a bit buggy with the Native Sites and sometimes the Trading Posts on the Trading Route, where not all spawn in the match. In the script it's intended to have 5 Native Sites.
Bioko is fine, Azores is fine, though one trading post in large games usually isn't able to be built upon (it's a bug where when more than 5 types of native sites are present, that the sixth type of native is not able to be built on). Sahel plays quite smoothly, usually 3 to 4 Native Sites on that one, and Lake Retba is often 4 Native Sites in larger games.
Madagascar, sometimes there is 1 Native Site that spawns, sometimes 2, though in the script it is supposed to be something like 4 Native Sites.
Anyways enjoy the maps! They work online if all have Bonus Expansion Pack 1.1a or N3O Patch 1.4a Added Pack installed!
On Age Sahara there is sometimes a bug in spawning the starting Town Center, and occasionally on Age Hawaii there are missing wagons, etc. Most of the other maps load fine and should have no problem correctly spawning the extra units.
Good Gaming everyone!
