I downloaded it on this internet cafe's comp and have looked it up(I'll try to get my usb tonight - forgot it back home). But I notice you didnt make any new flags - which Ive heard are relatively more easy than in EUII, but that's not important now anyway...

I'll give you my feedback soon.
 
There are new flags, just not made by me. I already have some corrections to the one on the server.

Question

Since there is a HUGE trading efficiency penalty for owning wrong culture (not your own) COT I resolved changing the culture of the Flanders to hanseatic. With Novgorod I have made it a vassal of Hansa and left it with 3 territories distributing the rest

is this a better solution or should they also turn Hanseatic culture?.
 
I think it should remain but perhaps a special russian culture set up, a sort of rich and affluent rus culture of the baltic that is an accepted culture by the haneastic league...
 
Yep, working on the proper Muslim flags now....I'll work with the Caliphate and Cordoba, as well as NA and Egypt but....are the borders for the Kingdom of jeruslem the ones you have defined now?or have you changed them?
Im also going to change the color of the religions....perhaps add some other movements laters since I now know how to add religions....maybe a few Muslim only govs as well....

Keep me posted and I will send you the files soon.
 
I set up KOJ to mimic EU2 map. It is all malleable.

I tried creating flags and it was a snap!
so Wessex, Hansa and KOJ, SMolensk and Halych Volhynia flags do not look like they are surrendering now

I guess Novgorodian culture. They were quite different from the rest of Russians in their culture. nearly 100 % of Novgorod adult population could read and write In Russian. in the 13th century. Also people wrote in Finnish there (in Slavic Alphabet)

Hansa is a bit of a bear. I mean eagle. I do not know where yall got it's flag. would you think this be appropriate? this is their emblem that I couLd find

Novgorod's language was kinda branching off from normal Russian about like the difference between serbian and croatian--basically different dialects. As a separate country influenced by different people (IE not moved to Moscow), it would have eventually become a North Slavic language, as opposed to West Slavic (Polish, Sorbian, Wendish, etc), Slavonic/South Slavic (serbo-croatian, bulgarian, etc), and East Slavic (Russian, Ukrainian...which might be considered a West Slavic language).

Serbian and Croatian are the same language
After the war Croats started adding letters in stupid places and speaking their vowels long. It is Bosnian/Croatian/Serbian language.
Novgorodians had the same language in real life as most everyone in the Russian principalities.
They did have some western Slavic influences in the language. but not enough to split the language

I did give them a Novgorodian culture group to separate them from the rest of Russians for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Hanseatic league

For Ukrainian to be born it took 600 years of forced separation with Russian.

At the time of the game since there is no forced separation of Russian lands to hostile factions everyone should still be speaking Old Russian in the north. The Ruthenian lands in the south should still be speaking the same language too. The sourthern Eastern Slavs (Byelorussians (Some under TO) Urkrainians Ruthenians) are separated from the North Eastern Slavs (Russians) by pretty much one province in GH lands.

All of this is just rhetorical.

===================

I moved Hungarian with the Finnish subgroup. My soul hurt from seeing them in the same subgroup as Czechs and Poles and Schlesians

I moved Pomeranian from a German subgroup to western Slavic. see here

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pomeranian_language

Pomeranian as "German" came later than 1419

I am really impressed with the amount of work you are getting done. I just hope Ahmed downloads what you've done gets EU3 and weighs-in with his always-interesting commnets.

Make benefit Glorious Nation of Hansa? Bloody hilarious. :p
 
Hi:

I'm a big fan of the Interregnum mod, and while I don't think I'll be able to help in any large extent, I'd like to show you guys what I've done for the EU3 version: Namely, some flags.

They're for Jerusalem, Bologna, Trent, Epirus, Ramazan, Halych-Volhynia, Hanseatic League, Kalmar, Wessex, London, The Caliphate, Swabia, and Smolensk.

I can't take credit for the BLN/EPI/RAM/JUD flags, which I've gotten from other mods, but I did the rest. The Hanseatic flag is the flag of Hanseatic Lubeck, but I can change it to the emblem you have there if you want.

As well, I've also included updated versions of icon_religion.dds and icon_religion_small.dds for mutazelitism; a blue hued version of the islamic symbol they use there. (I can change that) Be sure to place mutazelitism right after shi'a in religion.txt so that the symbols stay in order.

you are awesome

please join the eu3 forum in my sig and upload this there.

I have a different Smolensk flag made from the city emblems dating to the time of the game here

Would you believe that they fired the first cannon in Russian Lands in Smolensk in 1390s!!!

Apparently there is a little trouble with having a modified start date as Tunch Khan has discovered

http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/showthread.php?t=287787

which might make us rethink the starting date.

One option would be to think that Aberrated Europe was on hiatus for 34 years

I am ok with that. It is alternative history in any case.

I am done polishing China, Japan and Korea.

I am going to set up India now.
 
Ive done a great deal with western Europe - especially Spain, and will soon work with North Africa and the Middle East.....Im trying to upload but it's consuming alot of time. If you can copy paste my work on a clean slot and see what Ive done (Mostly Iberia, France, the Isles, Scandenavia, and HRE) - we can merge some of my work?

and do you know fast uploads for files?this is killing me...
 
Main Set up for Iberia

Ive set up 5 main countries for Iberia : Al-Andalus(Instead of Cordoba, more appropriate), Porto, Leon, Galicia, and Navara.

There are several cultures, all of which have been named in Arabic pronounciations to give the feel of an Arabized Spain...

Andalusi(Mainly in the south from Lisbon to Almeria), Suqlubi (Not Suquli, it is basically a representation of the Slavic descendent populations who resided mainly in the Beleares, Barcelona, Valencia and Aragon - being brought in the early 8th and 9th centuries as slaves, they became the 'Syrians' of Spain....Muslims all of them), Julayqi (Galician), Qishtalli(Castillian) and Burtugali(Portuguese) all of which are cornered in the north with also the northern Andalusi provinces falling under one of these categories. I have changed most of the province names as well as some of the seas names to their more arabic oriented names....

Tulleytillah instead of Toledo for example... and Zaragoza instead of Aragon (The city was quite famous in Muslim times...anyone heard of El-Cid and Prince Mutamid of Zaragoza?)

The Almeria gulf is now the Gulf of Senior Badr (Sidi Badr - hes the African who transported the Abdul Rahman the Ummayed to Spain...long story), the Sea of the Arab Pearl for the Gulf of Mallorca and so forth...

Ive done the country advisors (But not the famous Iberian Advisors section yet) but its funny to see the mix of Arabic and Spanish names...Muahmmed de Brazgna - not that it wasnt uncommon.

Most of the flags were done by me....Al-Andalus one is appropriate and the writing is in Andalusi style. Give me feedback tarakan! Once you tell me your opinions, I'll get to North Africa and Ahem, the lovely Orient of Arabia!

Merging now

for working with comparing directories get this

Beyond Compare

Calipah, what is your system Date now? Is it today or is the clock reverted to 2006 for some reason

It is really tricky to identify which files you changed if your system date is for some reason in July of 2006 (as it appears to my by the timestamp of files)

It would be easier if you used the mod directory too. The internal files have a different structure listed inside. for example the countries do not have /common/countries/countryname.txt but rather /countries/countryname.txt if inside the mod dir. Other things like this too. It is a tiny bit harder to test your mod if you mod the main dir.

I love the colorscales. They are darker.

I found a tool that does easy Excel document compare and that helped with the text.csv correction. easy.

Calipah, things you did look great.

So in Iberia there are Galicia, Porto, Leon, Navarra and Languidoc.

What about Castille, Catalunia and Aragon? The tags are in the game, please tell me if any of the other names are a substitute in this worldline.

I understand that porto is portugal, i think catalunia is aragon and leon is castille. any reason that some of these would not be independent of others

I mentioned this a few times that I was leaving as many minors in at the moment since we are not limited by the number of tags.

In Iberia I left catholic provinces with catholic names for cultures for now. I think they would be offended if they carried the name of the oppressor. :) Culture change to arabisized spelling would need to be handled by an event. If a province is held with a core for x number of years and is (insert flavor of islam) -> then we change culture.

One thing to keep in mind about Iberia is that as EU3 goes, a collection of minors if allied and at war at the same time can rip to shreds a larger foe because 4 minors can take out more loans than one blob that is a bit larger. (have to be forced through some event thing no as I understand as the AI is pretty poor at honoring alliance obligations against larger enemy)

Unless I had EUIII secretly since last year, then it must be my comp - never got around to changing it and Im pretty satisfied with the arabic date being correct :D

I still havent done the religion's colorscales yet! I hate the yellow bright green stuff :mad:

Well I wanted to deviate from Interegnum but also formally correct the old mistakes - Al-Andalus did not reconquer everything in the last 200 years - it held it for the past 700 instead, which explains why for example, Zaragoza is a Muslim city and thus - no Aragon. It's much more natural and seems to be good. Castille , Catalunia and Aragon just dont fit...

Look at the reason above :) . However, I was hoping to allow these states to form into larger ones - like what MattyG did so Porto could become Portugal, Leon into Leon y Castile and so forth...

No not really, for example - if I said "Burtugali" it's really the equivelant of saying "Portuguese" but with an Arabic flare to it. Thought it would give the whole thing a nessicary spice... :D

Maybe I should have reconsidered the diplomatic alliances I made then :eek:o


Did you look over Ireland?I changed the province names there as well!
 
Ireland is great

I was thinking that Spanish minors can be given one each, Majorca, canary islands and Madeira to prevent easy annexation
