Nakahara 26: "Hagikaze no Shigure" (Hagikaze, Asasaki)
Forsma7 posted a City Journal entry in Nakama (AIN) and Nakahara
Well I'm back after 3 years.... or sorta So basically from 2 months ago I was working on this city, Hagikaze after a short discussion in discord server about SC4 map of Hagi city, Yamaguchi Prefecture, Japan. And then I'm thinking about doing something in SC4 new and I decide to use that map. The city name is Hagikaze which basically just modified from the original place name. I made the city itself kinda inspired by Sasebo, Nagasaki mixed with the original real life place as well (Hagi, Yamaguchi). On the other hand, right 6 years ago, I posted Update 5 of Nakahara and I decided to use the same date to post new update of Nakahara after hiatus for 3 years. Either way I'll jump into the update now. Hagikaze city (萩風市) is a city in western part of Asasaki Prefecture, Kyushu region, Nakahara.
