Hello there dear reader!

My name is Simon and i'm grateful that you choosed this thread.
My idea is simple, unite the Charlemange empire, go back in time and change so the 100 year war never ended and make a HOI2 scenario out of it.

Well, actually. It's much more complex than that. But still, that is the idea.

NATIONS:
The Union of Kalmar never dissolved. The Swedes didn't rebel. Instead they created a united kingdom, a strong naval nation.
They were very keen of their past, closely relating every decision to the ancient Vikings. They have survived very well, and haven't engaged in too many wars. Only some naval battles with England and one large war with Kievan Rus' where they lost Åland and Gotland. But that was a long time ago. Now in 1930 they try to keep everyone happy, but is secretly planning to start a very grand war to topple the Kievan Rus' king and gain land.

The Kievan Rus kingdom
never fell to the Mongols, they created an Orthodox kingdom spanning from Germany to the Berings strait. They too were very keen of their past, but they don't talk about themself being relatives of the Swedish vikings. But instead they honored the Varangarians of Byzantia and the old Roman empire. There were enemies lurking from two directions, A possible clash with the Union of Kalmar and a monstrous conflict with the Franks. The Kievan Rus' had to decide where to focus.

The Frankish Empire, much like the Habsburg empire in our timeline survived through the ages. They didn't expand much, except for some colonizing appempts in America. They fought the Anglosaxons constantly, the 100 year war in our timeline never ended. But was fought in many series of campaigns. Most of them ended in a stalemate, but the Anglosaxon's kept attacking. And in the end, noone knew why. Will the Franks reconquer the lost provinces from the Anglosaxons or will they submit to them?

Speaking of which, England had claimed the throne of France for centuries. And attacked them fiercly. But in the 20th Century the attacks had ended, but they were still at war and skirmishes were carried out in the Neatherlands and in Iberia. The neverending war would soon erupt into a war to end all wars some Anglosaxons say.

The least fiercest nation in existance must be the Byzantine Republic, they haven't engaged in large-scale warfare since the Byzantine re-conquest of Turkey in the late 18th century. That is almost 200 years of peace. The Emperor was assassinated during a revolution by Greek liberals, they took over the former-empire and reannounced the "Oriens Romanorum Res publica". The East -Roman Republic. But they would still be called Byzantium.

The small state in the caucasus is a modern Mongol state called simply The Horde by the international world. They have completely frozen in time and are a horseback nomad people. They have few cities and are behind in research. But they are expert warriors and their horses are sold for millions each. But their puny nationstate will be nothing but cannon fodder if war starts.

TECHINICAL DIFFICULTIES
Ok, here's the deal. I need a team of modders willing to make my dream a reality. I have no modding experience except making flags and other graphics.

We need someone to code:
Ai

The Wookie will code:
Events
Tech Teams
Leaders
Ministers
ect
ect

All will be lead by me, and the one that is willing enough to cooperate on a large scale.. But all story related material will be directly coordinated by me.

Please come and join! :D

Thats explains alot...

What has been made, and how will the various teach team be given to each nation? Leaders and such?
 
Infact it's totally plausible. Kalmar was involved in a war against the Frankish Empire , and they surrendered mainland Denmark. England later took Aalborg in one of their campaigns, and this is the current status quo.

I have done some events, fixed some names and made some mindmaps on the different techs and leaders (military as civilian). The largest problem so far is pictures for all the leaders.. Any tips or ideas you might share? ^^
