I was cleaning out my old computer the other day and found a scenario I started on years ago. It was almost finished, and I thought it'd be a shame if all the work was useless so I brushed it up and uploaded it here in case someone would be interested. It's representing the Aftermath of the Forth Crusade. The start date is summer 1205, some month after the first Latin Emperor, Baldwin I, was captured and killed by the Bulgarians. The successorstates of Nicaea, Trebizond and Epirus have been formed, and so have most Latin lordships, so I found that a suitable startdate. The political setup has of course been modified for the whole map, including hundreds of new characters. It's about as complete as the other scenarios when it comes to dynasties.


I'm uploading it as is. I've run it for several decades without crashing, so it seems stable enough, even if there's bound to be errors.

Latin lordships in Greece.



Installation (Note some original files are replaced):
- Make another full installation of your CK+DV, latest patch.
- Simply extract the files to your new main Crusader Kings directory and the files should go to their places.


Compatibility:
It should be compatible with vanilla Deus Vult in the sense that nothing is changed for the vanilla scenarios in SP, except that the province incomes have been redefined to better work for the current setup. I also tried to diminish the unhistorically large English (and to a smaller extent, Frankish) hordes by reducing their province incomes. If you want to keep the old province file, just avoid replacing the original. I strongly recommend the new added file though.

Multiplayer is mightily sensitive, so you won't be able to play with someone using only DV.


It's probably not compatible with any mods.





List of current kings, for a teaser. :)

Aragon: Peter II
Leon: Alfonso IX
Castille: Alfonso VIII
Navarra: Sancho the Strong
Portugal: Sancho the Populator (you'll see why)
Sicily: Frederick of Hohenstaufen, aka Stupor Mundi
France: Philip Augustus
England: John Lackland
Scotland: William the Lion
Norway: Inge, (and a counterking in AKER)
Sweden: Sverker Karlsson
Denmark: Valdemar Sejr
Bohemia: Premysl I
Germany 1: Otto Welf
Germany 2(represented by Burgundy): Philip of Hohenstaufen
Poland: Wladyslaw Spindleshanks
Hungary: Andrew II
Serbia: Stefan the First-crowned (still known as an un-crowned Prince)
Bulgaria: Kaloyan Asen
Latin Emperor: Henry I
Nicaea: Theodoris Laskaris
Epirus: Mikhael Komnenos Doukas
Trebizond: Alexios Komnenos
Georgia: Thamar the Great
Armenia: Leo the Magnificent
Jerusalem: Queen Maria

A bunch of these should have been at war with each other (eg Germany 1&2), but I've followed Pdox's policy of no wars at startup.



Technical things:
I've redefined the duchy tags ATRI and ARTO, seeing that they are neither declared in the other scenarios or listed as createable titles.


The following files are replaced but are not necessary to run:
db/province.csv
Coa: ATRI.bmp, ARTO.bmp, SCHW.bmp, HELL.bmp, THES.bmp (coa:s updated to fit better)

The following files are replaced and are necessary:
db/country.csv
db/dynasties.txt
config/world_names.csv

The following files are added and necessary to run:
U000.bmp, U001.bmp, U002.bmp, U019.bmp

Hope I didn't miss any file.

edit:file moved to uploads forum..

This mod is absolutely awesome! I've been trying to get the "4th Crusade"-Scenario to work on DV for ages without success. Thanks a ton for making this mod!:)

Just a slight bug-report from my side: Whenever I use some of the ledgers (especially the very handy bridefinder) in the first few days of the game I get a fatal error. It's a bit of nuisance but not more.

Glad you liked it :)

Thanks. Fixed it, uploaded new file (nothing gamebreaking though, the game fixes it after a few days by itself, as you noticed).

Not sure if it is true of this mod, as I haven't downloaded it, but I used to have this same problem in DVIP's 4th Crusade scenario too. I fixed it by going through the scenario with an editor and giving the girls who had absolutely zero traits some random trait like Honest, and the bridefinder stopped crashing the game.

May want to see if that fixes the problem for you here.

Alternately, I suppose you can go 60 years or so without using the bridefinder, waiting for the traitless girls to die off. ;)
 
I'm going to try this, thanks!
 
Nice find, Styrbiorn.

You need to become an active modder like the old days! :D

Alas, so little time nowadays. Modding is timeconsuming :(

Thanks, but I'm not sure if that should be an issue. In this case it was a character in a non-existant court. The 090909 is working.
