This mod seems great !

I hope it will become great in time.

====
I want to say that the map is done - that is to say for 0.1a standard (will get improved obviously hehe)... What still needs to be done for 0.1a is giving dynasties to many of the rulers...awhile back one of the electric shutdowns I experienced pwnt my dynasties file I had opened in notepad and unsaved since the time of Moses... so I'm a bit behind on that front, but it will be done to a decent level for 0.1a.

So release of 0.1a will most likely be dependant on how long it takes me to adapt the mod to the new patch...given it's coming on Tuesday...I'm hoping to be done by...Thursday? I'd prefer Wednesday but that's a long shot hehe.

 

[Sujit]

No, I need to rename 9330390393039 things, :sad: I'll listen to feedback on that once I release 0.1a... there's so much stuff to rename i think I might start a "rename stuff and send me the file" project hehe...all those baronies wah. :sad:

Ouch! It gotta be lot work to make a alternative setting mod. Well just take the time you need. And I have to say that I look forward for your marvelous work.

There are 907? (I think) provinces...then there's baronies - and there's usually more names of baronies per province than holding slots...that's thousands of names hehehehe... 0.1a will be very minimalistic in renaming aproach - if something MUST absolutely be renamed it gets renamed (stuff like Carthage, Jomsborg, Carthago Nova, Holmgardr etc) if not it can wait...I will most likely never ever finish renaming stuff to my complete satisfaction.:blush:

 

[Cainrae]

I was wondering, are the two new main religions going to have religious heads such as the Pope?

But I guess if you are reffering to Sol and Zoroastrianism - not in 0.1a, although I'm thinking I should make the Roman Emperor the head of the Sol Invictus religion...I am unsure as I want to do something about a potential transition to a direct Imperial Cult in the future... one thing I want to eventually do event wise is a line of events where an Emperor institutes a theocracy with him being obviously quite divine...but that's far off in the future hehe.

 

[Sleight of Hand]

Looking good, Shaytana. I will certainly try this mod once I've played a couple of games with vanilla 1.06 (I can't remember the last time I played vanilla CK II).

As for Zoroastrianism (I hope you're excited for its new icon!) what about making it a bit like Shi'a Islam, by which I mean linking it to the bloodline of one of the ancient Persian dynasties like the Achaemenids or Sassanids? I'm not sure how difficult it would be to track someone, but you could find a bastard line or simply make one up yourself. I think it'd be cool to have the religious leader of Persia being able to (or at least claim to be able to) trace his lineage back to Cyrus himself.

I'll think about it...after all this mod has a lot of ancient dynasties/lineages managing to survive hehe. Playing 1.06 for a while before trying this is a good idea, 0.1a is a setup release... I'm even going to post a disclaimer along the lines of "don't download this if you want to play a polished version! wait till 0.5 or something" .

 

[Bloodmerchant]

Are there going to be any unique religious icons?

Cesar de Quart was working on some icons. Hopefully he'll show up soon and we'll see. I'm unsure wether they will make it for 0.1a. In any case there will be icons in the future, I might make some myself eventually if needed, but they're nowhere near a priority atm.

 

[mike the knight]

Well done Shaytana.I was absent for almost one day and I return to see further posts o .Do ot be afraid , we will be patient and charitable for 0.1 a just give us something we can work on mate.I am really looking forward for this mod ....

 

[Shaytana]

Patience, mate. As soon as the patch comes on Tuesday I will start updating the mod to it...and as soon as that is done I will release it.

 

[Aetherius]

I have some suggestions :
- You should give more troops to Brythonia, as in vanilla Deubarth has fewer men than Gwynedd
- Why not turn Normandy into a kingdom, as they aren't vassals of the french ?
- You should give Gascogne to Aquitaine, or Poitou

-I'll keep in mind to look into balance issues in that area after 0.1a release - atm there's quite a few other things I need to do first. :blush:
-I was thinking of making it a dejure kingdom in the future actually but unformed so the player can make himself king
-Northern Wasconia has its own different history in this timeline with its own dynasty etc - doesn't make sense for timeline reasons. (and also I kind of like the way that area is balanced atm)

 

[mike the knight]

Could we have just another screenshot please Shaytana?

 

[Aetherius]

Have you already made titular or de jure empires ?

 

[Shaytana]

@mike the knight

I will post a screenshot later.

@Aetherius

Well there are some empires that are not in vanilla obviously...but I have yet to divide all of the map into empires - in a future version I will add formable empires that make sense for every region/culture.

 

[mike the knight]

Thanks mate . I think that you have created some great plausible Empires but i am little concerned if we should divide the shole world between beast empires generally hmy:

 

[Shaytana]

I think that from a gameplay perspective it's good for the player to be able to striver for an imperial title that makes sense in that region or for his culture.

 

[mike the knight]

I agree with this but i would like to see it justified form history perspective bro even at this mod which is alternative history based there is a logical sense which should be preserved in my opinion
