You then open the "Land" tab on the "Tools Pannel" (yes, they made a typo in the ME). Find the Japanese Roster, then click and drag the "-NB Naval Base" item with your mouse, and then drage and drop it where you want to place it. You probably want to change the "name" of the new naval base, but genereally, it is not necessary, since the ME will track how many items of that Class you have on the map already, usually rather well. The modder has to be careful with later text edits, of course. Anyway, when finished, you should have similar to this:



Most of the default settings for NavalBase items are good as they are, and some if edited will cause trouble. You can change the Crew Rating, as well as the Game Entry Date and Time, as well as the Game Exit Date and Time, of course, but do not alter the Cfg Date. The "Height" figure is auto-generated by the ME for the terrain on which the NavalBase is placed. The Heading is basically useless for the item.

What do I need to create a base in Kura? I created a "Naval Base". Now do I need to write this down in the UPC?
And another question. The Japanese campaign uses German bases. Shouldn't these be German bases?
