[MOD] Sniggles's Bookmarks

[Meneth]

As turnabout is only fair and I've borrowed from plenty modders in my time, anyone is free to take, use, and modify this as they see fit without asking for my permission, provided credit is given to me for the base if it's to be publicly distributed.

Fantastic. I'll implement it into Project Balance
Nice work.

@Sniggles:
BTW, "Sniggles's" is grammatically incorrect. It should just be "Sniggles'"

Ah man, I got into this same debate with a professor I turned a paper in to a while back.

Technically speaking, either is accurate. But in the academic world something like "Sniggles'" would usually mean a plural possessive rather than a singular possessive, so multiple Sniggles owning something/s; that's how it's traditionally been used, anyway. A separated "'s" always denotes a singular possessive and is still fine to use with words that end in "s", so usually that's used for singular posessive rather than "s'" (in my field, anyway), so as to avoid confusion.

So we're both right, and I just like doing it the way that looks weird.

I think we can just agree that English is silly
In Norwegian you simply add an "s" to the end to make a word possessive. No apostrophe at all. The only exception being words that end in s, x, or z (not that any native Norwegian words use z), where you just add an apostrophe instead.

This mod is now included in Project Balance. The latest bookmark you added isn't in yet though, but it'll be added next patch.

 

[Meneth]

I hope you didn't include it yet, because I just uploaded yet another new version. I seem to have terrible timing with these things.

Nah, new version of PB is on Sunday.

Anyway, I've integrated your newest version into my local build now
BTW, BM_ITALY references a character that doesn't exist, 463410.

A suggestion for another bookmark: 18th of May 1152, England owns over half of France.

Edit: Nevermind, you've got a bookmark for that ~40 years later.

Until The Old Gods, no, not from me anyway. When TOG comes out I'll go back through the history and add a few Pagan-oriented bookmarks, maybe modify a few that're already there to include some Pagan/Zoroastrian characters, but that's the last change I'll be making personally unless a Theocracy DLC is made (which would probably mostly be bookmarked in by Paradox's official patches anyway).

Any user is still free to submit interesting time periods/scenarios, but at this point I've pretty much exhausted my knowledge of the period. I was actually considering going back through and removing a few of the bookmarks that aren't very relevant, but if I do I'll save that for the Old Gods update.

The Old Gods will only unlock year 867. Years between that and 1066 will have missing characters and such.

Oh I know, I meant I was going to go back through 1066-1337 and add in dates relating to Pagans in that span. There was no real point in adding them when I made or updated the mod, since they were unplayable.

Ah, that makes sense. Sounds like a good idea.
