I tried to download the mod to check it out. Only the patch seems to be available.

BTW, I must have been tired or something when I did that list (if it was me). Eion should be Eoin.
 
Cheers, Got it. These earldoms and their CoAs are cool. I think I will incorporate them into my private game set-up to replace the made-up "duchies" in the default game.

"Herewar" - Hereward? Better ruler of Lincoln would be Maerleswein. There aren't actually a lot of TRE folk in this game, surprisingly. If you ever want to beef it up, use Clarke's English Nobility under Edward the Confessor, and Baxter's Earls of Mercia (as well as maybe Ann Williams, Normans and English).

You've probably had reasons for setting up Northumbria the way you did, but Morcar probably didn't have any land in "Northumberland"; this earldom of Northumbria was a York based entity, where the York "prince-bishop" is.

OK. To whom it may concern:

I think these points are about the map of Ireland, rather than any changes Veld made. This is the first time I've seen it:
Dubb Lin (spelled Dubb Lin in the text) - "I think Dubh Linn" was meant ("Dubb" Linn makes no sense), though Dublin was never Irish speaking in the period.
"An Cabhan" (modern Irish for County Cavan) is not historically notable; probably better using the area for Airgialla or Breifne

Irish provinces are now, when they're spelled correctly, a disconcerting mix of Old, Middle and modern Irish. I think unless it's fixed the CK default is better than the new Ireland map.

But I gotta say, the new Wales map is good. Shame we can't just use the new Wales one. :D

[To whoever is responsible] If there's a duchy of Tyrone, Aileach should be in it. Aileach is in Tyrone and was the "Capital" of Tyrone (Tir Eoghain), though given that the kings of Aileach were a pre-CK thing, Aileach should probably just get renamed back to Tir Eog(h)a(i)n (Tyrone).
 
IMPORTANT MESSAGE:
This mod needs to be downloaded in two parts


I. Download the mod
Here, this includes the new map and the first version of the other files

II. After having installed the above file, then download version 1.02 from here


Veld, when I try and download the second download it simply brings me up to the main page of filefront. What specific second download should I do from here?
 
A question -- I've noticed that provinces' supply limits are not quadrupled (or whatever) in "friendly" / realm provinces when using this mod. Is this intentional? Is there any easy way that I could reset that?

Cheers.

The probable reason for that is, that I have lowered the income of a lot of province's. So unless you want to increase all the province-incomes again, I see no easy way out.
 
I wasn't aware that province income was tied to supply limit. Here's what I'm specifically talking about:

I fired up a game in TASS as the Duchy of Mazova, and then did the same in BTC, and compared between the two the friendly province of Czersk and the unfriendly province of Lettigalians.

Lettigalians starts out with a base income of 1.80 in both instances. In both games, the province's Supply Limit is [100 (Base) + 2500 (Forest) + 250 (Hill Fort)] = 2,850.

Czersk starts out with a base income of 2.40 in both instances. In TASS, the province's Supply Limit is [100 (Base) + 2500 (Forest) + 250 (Hill Fort)] * 4 (Friendly Province) = 11,400. In BTC, the province's supply limit is [100 (Base) + 2500 (Forest) + 250 (Hill Fort)] = 2,850, the same value as the lower-income Lettigalians province.

In TASS (and normal DV), friendly provinces can support four times as many troops (or at least, four times as many of your troops) as an otherwise equal non-friendly province. BTC seems to treat friendly provinces as non-friendly provinces in this regard.

Cheers.
 
I just checked my BTC-mod myself and when I start as the duke of Mazovia, Czerk has a supplylimit of 11.400.

Did you apply the latest beta-patch before you installed my mod ? Since the supply-limit in friendly provinces was changed in one of the beta-patches.
 
As far as I know, I did install the most recent (October / 2.1?) beta patch, but I'll go back and reinstall the whole shebang and see how it goes.

Cheers.

Edit: Nope, no luck. Reinstalled BTC on a fresh 2.1 Beta-updated DV copy, and I'm still getting the problem. :( I wish I could figure out what was wrong, because I'd love to play a Stamford Bridge scenario with the Duke of Essex, but it's a bit frustrating when you have things like provinces that can't even support their own regiments...

Well, I just did another complete, start-from-zero reinstall of everything -- redownloaded CK and DV, redownloaded the October patch, etc. -- and it seems to be working fine now. Not really sure what got turned around where, but at least it's pointed in the right direction now.

And now it's time to tear me up some Britain.

Cheers.
 
Have come very late to this - but enjoying immensely so far. However, a couple of quick questions.....

The game is playing fine, but I am getting problems (playing as Gwynedd or Wales) with loading older saves from the Before the Conquest scenario - some of the additional Welsh and Irish provinces simply don't show up - or rather, they do show up but with no data/information. Not at home right now, so cannot post a screen shot, but basically the error is the same as if you were to load the standard 1066 scenario and then try to play as Gwynedd. A bit odd, because as long as I stick to the more recent saves (i.e. most recent plus the autosaves) there's no problem....

Also, I've been away from CK/DV for a while - what graphics mod are you using in your sceenies Veldmaarschalk? It's not just a shield mod but a CoA mod, yes? I've done a clean install over CK/DV 2.1 and just get normal shields/COAs, so I assume this is something that isn't included in the mod itself? Where can I get it?

Many thanks.

Thanks for keeping this mod, somewhat alive :)

Also found a folder with minor modifications of yours, but ain't sure what they were for.
