has anyone made a Dark Ages mod, with maybe the Mongols performing the role of Attila and the Huns? How about a Charlemagne mod? Are these even possible to make?
 
i suggested, a couple of months ago, a 846 scenario

there is this forum , apparently long time dead, about 800AD and 843AD scenarios/mods.
Anyway official answer from those forumers is that initiative is just sleeping :D :D
 
All tha pagan could be.. well pagan ;)
Perhaps with a certain events of province conversion (for examples for the hungarians).

The big problem are the vikings and their raids.
Perhaps a random "looted" effects on the historical coastal provinces raided by the viking?
 
It would be interesting to do a mod of the German invasions themselves. You could have the Roman Empire as a *Muslim religion, with a Catholic population which would allow the German people to invade the Empire and conquer it and convert it to their culture as well. Finally get my chance to create a Vandal Empire :)
 
:eek: BLASPHEMY! The Roman Empire Muslim?! Impossible! It would have to be historical so the pagans are pagan, Rome is Catholic, and you could use the Byzantine Empire tag. Change the shield a bit, but still.
 
A mod about the germanic ivasions would be hard. many people moved around in Europe, the christian religon was young and far from accepted by all, paganism and christianity coexisted side by side in the most parts of the old empire. And the religous question was more complicated, the eastern and western church had their differences but the stayed put together to prevent "heretic movements" (according to them) like the coptic church, the assyrian church and the cult of arianism from expanding.

A Charlemagne mod would be interresting, and there have been plans about it. The major problems are the vikings, who are pagans, but still should be a pain in the ass, and the magyars, who should move to the lands they now live in during this era.

I only say that because, due to game mechanics, it would allow for the possability of the Germanic people getting a cultural and religious conversion of the provinces. Its a bit mucky, but not a bad idea. Rename Islam something like "Orthodox", use the Orthodox tag then for the Coptic churches and the like.

It really sucks actually; I've yet to see a good game out there which models the Dark Ages well at all. I'd love the chance to create lasting Gothic state, however; to defeat the Roman Empire, ect :)
