i'd like to help with Bulgaria, and prolly other Balkan countries. i've tried starting a balkan alternative history scenario before (even had its own forum), which almost got started, but failed because of the leaders' lack of time :(
has anyone worked on the Balkan countries (except for Byzantium of course, it gets a lot of attention :) ) ?
what could i do to help? :) anything specific that i should do?
 
If you would like to do something on a country, just start a thread, giving your ideas. If people agree, then you can code them up and they should get included.
 
One thing I am seeing consistently in my games is that by 1470, Norway is gone and Scotland has overrun the remainder of Britain.

My suggestion:
An independant Wales, this was suggested elsewhere, give them Midlands and maybe Bristol. Royal marriages with Eire and Brittany and an alliance with one, probably Eire. We could go further and make Eire and Brittany allies as well, though this probably wouldn't last. Nations dishonor alliances a lot in this scenario it seems.

Which brings us to Norway. They start out allied to Scotland, but one or the other dishonors it and as Norway is a vassal they don't get anymore allies. Not sure what it would take, or even if we want to change it. A cancellation of vassalisation with Scotland if they are no longer allied perhaps, with relation boost to ofset the hit. Maybe even aid events from Scotland and the Hanse, although we'd want to be careful with that.

On the whole, I'm loving this scenario, it combined my two favorite things, alt history and EU2. Keep up the good work. :cool:

Actually Norway is 'supposed' to be gone pretty soon and Scotland (as AI) has much easier to gain Britain than those who live 'overseas'.

Scotland might be a 'tad' overpowered, but it might be hard to nerf without breaking it.
 
Great mod - I particularly like the 'strategic decision' events, giving players a choice of paths to greatness for their nation and increasing replayability a lot. My suggestions would be to make the Shiites more prevalent than in real life, so there's a real contest within the Muslim world, a reasonably strong Iroquois Confederacy and Inca Empire with their own events and china tech-group, and to have some unconventional colonial powers in Africa and Asia (Lanka? Korea? Malacca? Zanj?)

Isn't Bavaria a bit too strong?

It depends. In the hands of a player they're a bit of a monster, gobbling up the HRE in no time and becoming a decent colonial power to boot. In the hands of the AI they go on a very scary rampage of annexation in the first few years, but after that they lose the Imperial throne, EVERYONE declares war on them, and it all falls apart because they've racked up 40 BB in as many years.
 
In both my Sp games so far bavaria conquered all of germany and in the first one they also conquered most of eastern europe all the way to moscow (in my second game the chose to anex all of Italy instead)...

I was playing Byzantium in both games and focusing mostly on the middle east.
 
Hi!

Playing as Teutonic Order in todays latest released version I have encountered a severe problem with scripted events in Germany:

I was allied with the Hanse and thus drawn into German wars. We liberated much of central Germany and the Netherlands from the filthy Bavarians :p and I was able to get a land corridor through Poland to my new possessions. Cologne faired well, too, getting all of Belgium and parts of Southern Germany.

Now the alliance broke up and I allied with Greater-Cologne and my Bohemian vassals, fighting mostly badboy wars. The Hanseatic League declared on me, and fighting went well for us. When I was close to signing peace, the "Cologne succession crisis" event fired and all 11 provinces of Cologne went to the Hanse. I mean, they were fighting each other, with Cologne winning, so why should the loser annex the winner?

At least a trigger condition checking for war should be added.

It was a serious blow to me, as Cologne was my main ally. Now I will have to give up many provinces to minors just to get out of this mad situation. (Cologne had some 60.000 men now fighting for the Hansa...)

Also I was wondering why Teutonic Order, meaning "German order" doesn´t have German culture. I understand it would be unbalancing to have 3 cultures, but I´d rather have German and Baltic than the Polish combo...

Thanks for reading this,

edit:
In 1544 the Russian crusade ends, saying it made little progress, ripping me off VPs and cores. However, at that ime I controlled anything from Archangelsk to Moscow and even further to Kiew.

Please change the trigger so it checks whether the crusade was successfull or not. I have even converted most of Russia to Catholism, so no way the crusade has failed...

It seems there's some bug and/or some illogical design in the Sund Crisis (Hansa)

the events are:
200206
200208
200209
in major_hsa.txt

and
200207
in minor_rag.txt


The first is that the Sund crisis triggers a Ragusan event (200207) that is supposed to happen in 1503

the second is that the first event for the sund crisis triggers the "win" event right away, doesn't that mean it won't trigger afterwards ?

further, the "lost" event requires the "won" event to have happened :confused:
EDIT: the "lost" event (200209) also speaks of Jylland, while the whole war seems to revolve around Sjaelland

1. It is a bit strange that the order doesn't have german culture, but in terms of gameplay, the current cultural setup is the only one that makes sense - the Order is meant to take over/keep Poland, not large chunks of Germany. If you want, you'll get an event later that offers you german culture, but you would lose russian culture, if you had acquired it up to that point. If you're looking for a 'roleplay' explanation, although the Order is indeed still composed of Germans, their style of government, that of a crusading order, would seem strange and foreign to anyone living in Germany. On the other hand the local Poles and Balts have come to accept their rule. Culture isn't just about the language you speak.

2. Check the events: you must own Moscow, Tver and Tula by 1535. It's a bit arbitrary, but there has to be some criterion - what would you suggest?
One change we could make is for the 1544 event to require the 'lesser crusade' option: it looks like the intention was to make the 1580 event the probable end to the greater crusade.

Pretty certain this bug has ben reported already. In our MP game we edited the files to make it run correctly. You`ll probably need to do this too for the short term until Byakhiam and AD are back on the project. If you send your email address I can send you the edited files.

Hi. I think that the Kaliphat is in dire need of some dissolution events. I mean just look at it! The Kaliphat looks awful :( Its huge and black and they conquere the crusader kingdoms long time ago. There should probably be some centrifugal tendencies now that it lost its sence of purpose. I just can't imagine them having such an advanced government, that would keep Arab princes united around some common goal for hundreds of years.

The Caliphate is one of the chief areas of concern for the new team to look at. Not just it, but the rest of the Levant. There are lots of exciting ideas out there, please review some of the threads that are currently active.
