[MOD] SWMH 2.0 Map, de jure and general history mod. For a superior CK2 experience

[Aasmul]

Baronies in Poland (especially Leczyca and Sieradz, as my neighbourhood ) and Galich-Volhynia:

- c_kaliskie - province in that shape includes territory of Wieluń (castle) in it, but there's no such barony; same with Ostrzeszów (city)
- c_sandomierskie - lack of Opoczno (city)
- c_sieradzko-leczyckie - might add Wolbórz (city); also, b_warta should be the city, not castle
- c_lodz - included Łowicz (should be city) and Jeżów, with province borders that suggest them rather in c_brodno, but that's not what might be wrong (actually, I'm quite happy with that). Lack of baronies in here, there might be more - i.e. Inowłódz (castle, maybe even capital), Tum (church), Piątek (city), Zgierz (city), or even Uniejów (city/church; it might be rather in c_sieradzko-leczyckie, but there are enough baronies I think).
- c_plock - b_ostroleka? it should be in c_brodno; next thing, there's b_ostroleska in c_brodno, doubled from b_ostroleka it seems. Delete it.
- c_galich - what is the b_chervin doing here?! It should be in c_belz.

Going back to I've said before about Łowicz and Jeżów, there could be another province, that should also include b_rawa then - you would need to split c_brodno to create it. There would be baronies like: Rawa (castle), Sochaczew (castle), Łowicz (city), Jeżów (city), Biała (church). It could be called 'Rawa' or 'Sochaczew', both names sounds correct. To deal with it, c_brodno would be named 'Pultusk'.

That's what can tell you for now, maybe I'll find some more later.

Thank you

I will make the changes in the next update(but you might get a question or two if there is somthing im unsure of, since this seems a bit complicated at first glance:ninja

Well the period after the house of Ludowinger went extinct isn't the problem; but the period before the Ludowinger is, since it only decently documented from Giso IV.
Alternatively you could already give it to the Ludowinger, if it is hard to add.

Furthermore you might consider to give the county of Hesse the barony (monastry) of Fulda (temple) at the start of the game, since it was an important abbey (certainly in that region).

Hi guys,

exzellent mod, I love esp. the HRE kingdoms! But I have one question... there are Rois, there are Ducs, there are Gräfin and Herzogs, but why in the hell are there "Margraves" and "Count Palatine" (and not "Markgraf" or "Pfalzgraf")?

because I forgot to change it its due to thoes entties having prefixes(so they will always display like that) hence I have to change every one of them manually(and I have a leaky memory due to reading to many lawbooks..)

I can't arque with that can I, but would Ulteriori and Citeori not be the best way to go then? the reason I was planning on using Catanzaro and Squillace was that they were the only norman counites in the area I have been able to locate

As far as I know - never stay at Calabria and just my great-grand-fathers come from there - Squilacce are at Catanzaro province, not at Reggio di Calabria area. Reggio still the large city at Calaria. I suppose Ulteriori and Citeriori the best way and it was a Norman division.
It also was the advantage to use a precise latin/greek division, since the criteria was just the cultural division. I do not think Calabrian justify a proper culture (for Calabria and Apulia) since the culture concept of CK II was very broad, but Calabrian dialect evolves direct from Latin, but i think a Italian Catanzaro and a Grrek Reggio would be fine.

Ulteriori and Citeriori it is then, now just to hope that the Ndrangheta won't have an issue with it.

I find this a great mod too and I agree with your question, but the one thing I'll mod out are the extra HRE kingdoms (or most of it, I consider to combine Lower Lotharingia, Upper Lotharingia and Frisia into Lotharingia and keep Frisia as a titular kingdom). This shouldn't come as a surprise given other (previous) posts I made about that specific topic.

However Aasmul did a great job at improving the map, but we just have a different opinion on that specific topic.

First century game with latest version runs fine, no CTDs or weird things.

This looks like a great mod, and I'll be sure to run my next game with it. Thank you for putting the hours into this, so that obsessed history nerds like myself can sleep easy, unplagued by nightmares of unnecessary inaccuracy in our Paradox games.

However, in the OP, you asked if we saw anything you may have overlooked. I don't know if the pictures in the OP are up to date, but if they are, I notice some problems/inconsistencies. For one, it looks like you might have misspelled the name of the pan-Iberian empire. It looks like you meant Hispaniae, which I presume you took from the historically used title "Imperator totius Hispaniae". I'd recommend renaming it to "Hispania", as this was the base form of the Latin name for the area the empire covers, while I assume Hispaniae is a form inflected to agree with the rest of that phrase. Of course I don't know Latin, so it's very possible that I'm wrong.

Secondly, there's an inconsistent application of names. Most appear to follow the vanilla convention of picking the most common/appropriate name used in English, with notable Exceptions. Latin terms like Hispania are common in English, so they fit, but IMO Rhomaion and Krimea would be better off as Roman Empire/Eastern Roman Empire and Crimea, respectively.

Will there be an reworking of anatolia?

Glad I finally got it stable, the validator gave a nice big 0 when searching for errors so hopefully the performance is a bit better to.

Im glad you like the look of it, the pictures is not up to date(dosn't affect the inconsitencis you mention) im afraid thoes inconsitenceise are not the only ones (there probably is a little handfull more, I hope to get some more sorted out when I make the Italian update). I do plan to keep Rhomanion since I aim to use mostly local/or contemporary titles when I get most of the inconsitencies ironed out.

Yes

I noticed something odd in the latest version, now the barony of Marburg in the county of Hesse is referred to as b_marburga, which is odd since it the previous version (2.33d) it still was b_marburg.

There is a reason for it. I had forgotten that there also was a castle marburg in celje(that was included before I added marburg in hessen), so in order to keep styria where it belongs I had to change the file for hessen(but b_marbuga is still localised as Marburg so it should display as such ingame)

Are all the changes and updates for this mod implemented in P&T right away or will there be a waiting period for these to take place?

as of now everything(except the province file for Salerno which seems to be from an older version) should be up to date( Idib has gotten everything in advance so P&T was actually more up to date than SWMH before I put version 2.33e out), but I think P&T might need a fix as it feels bit unstable in the current version. I also noticed that Idib modified the landefiles for Swabia in his last version and somthing appears to have gotten a bit wrong as half the area is independent from the HRE:mellow:

At Levant most serious problem was the province of Druz. It may be renamed Hauran or something else. It just become Jabal al-Druz at XIX Century when druzes move to there after fall of their Emirate at Mount Lebanon province. Focus of Druze at CK II time Frame was about Baalbek.
