Some light mistypings I've noticed about France:

1) There is a city named Sable d'Olonnes, which should be Les Sables d'Olonne
2) A faction is named Armangnac, which should be Armagnac
3) For Anjou-Provence, the name of the monarch is XX duc de Anjou, which should be XX duc d'Anjou

I don't know if the place is appropriate (i.e. it depends on the mod or on the game itself), so please transfer the post to correct thread or subforum if needed.

several tips about cultures in Central-Eastern Europe:
(1)"Livonian" shold be named ruther "Lettish" and it is better to split Latgalian from it (but not necessary).
(2)Smolensk and Severia for the 15th-18th centuries are defiantly Ruthenian not Russian (still there are not much differences).
(3)Warmia should be German (Ostseer): http://img20.imageshack.us/img20/3645/prusy.png
Pomerelia should be "Kashubian"

1. Latgale (latgalian) or Latvia could be better, agree.
2. Wrong. Smolensk is and was rus. city from the moment of foundation. Anyway, could anyone prove existing of "ruthenians", because word "ruthenian" means "russian" on latin language. So it is the same.
3. German Ermland (Ermenland) or prussish Elbing, agree.

What is Severia? Novgorod-Severskij? Though there could be Chernigov. What is the region, named "Ukraina"? Mate, use Poltava! It's obviously. Poltava is ancient city (known from 12 cent., but founded even earlier). It is 100% match to the game. I also surprised, why there is no Kiev – one of the most ancient european cities and known as "Mother of russian cities"? Zhitomir is also ancient (founded in 884th, but known from 1392th), but not so significant as Kiev. You could rename Luck (don't even know what is "Luck") into Zhitomir. Braclav is acceptable (f. in 1362th), but Vinnitsa (f. in 1355th) is main centre of this region (Podolje). Taurida, K(o)uban' and Stavropol' – good find. Kuban would be more correct, it is also the river's name. You could make your own transcription with using verbalization programm http://text-to-speech.imtranslator.net/
"Navanradak" is Novogrudok, founded in 1044th by rus. Grand duke Yaroslav the Wise. (j)Edisan (Jedisan is german variant) was named so just in 18th century after Edisan nogai Horde migration from Kuban'.

And about Central Asia. You placed uzbeks in Turkmenia. GregoryTheBruce (post #52) did great point with providing ethnic map of the region. Though it is modern map, but also acceptable, because in-game regions not so precise.
Khazars – don't know, but they were fighting with Kiev, how could they did this, if they were in Central Asia?

Also I have idea to rename finnish lands in finnish manner (by finnish tribes names) instead swedish names. If you interested, let me know.

And please answer – what are the 2 provinces: one to south from Luck, another one is to south from Zhitomir. These provinces has common border on the map from first page.

I think Ukraina is supposed to represent Kiev. Although it is placed on the wrong side of the Dnieper.

Luck is the polish name for Lutsk.
 
Heh, you will say what it right and what is wrong in rus. history. :rofl: Read my previous post one more time – Novogrudok was built by rus. duke as... Novogrudok, when there were no poles. And about "ethnic ruthenians". It is the same if I'll say, that Lithuania and Lietuva are two different terms. Be more correct in the future. By the way, wikipedia (I call it as pedewikia) is very bad source for history, especially non-russian versions about rus. history (especially polish and transbaltian variants).

+ the same mistake about Lutsk. It was founded by Grand duke Vladimir the Great (known as Monomah). As you see, other your statement are almost useless after this, because we could say it's german (germans were here few times in First and Second World Wars). This is the broken logic.

>The rest your remakrs are quite right. I just do not like to be very nitpicking all the time.

Don't stop. There are no small things. It is my opinion. But try to provide proves, it could be priceless for correct understanding of history.

It would be great, if you'll find the data of first knowing about state of U. At this moment, first knowinng of U. as the state, is dated by 1918th year. And term "Ukraina" or "Ukrajna" means "border land" in slavic lang-s. There is also serbian Krajina and Krajna in Poland. Also there is a word "okraina" with the same meaning in rus. lang. But the map's creator is right. In 16-17 century lands with Belgorod, Chernigov, Voronezh etc were known as Ukraina, because there was border with so called Great Steppe (or Wild Steppe). But game time-borders "a bit" more wide. But the greatest thing – there is no Kama lake on the map (hello to Paradox). :)

:confused: An important part of learning history is learning both sides of the story. You can't simply ignore non-russian variants of russian history.

I agree. I am not defending the map but merely answering your question.
 
I've been away a couple of days because of a "downgrading" to XP from Vista. And it seems a lot of stuff has happened here. Now I will try to gather the constructive critic and make some changes that I find well argumented for. I will not nor do I pretend that I know more about East Europe than some of you guys, but please as the above states this is a game and it is hard when people have many different understandings of history.

So to sum it up. I will be looking through the last 2 pages to find the changes I think should be changed based on the argumentation and my own knowledge. ;)
 
Cool-Toxic,

Your game turns quite fine for me, but yesterday, I had some weird thing happening when I launched the game.

Some pop-up window indicated:
"Critical error!
Assertion failed: Attempting to create a monarch with a leader-id (65200) that is already used. Do you want to continue? (Abort-retry-ignore)"

Then, this occured for leaders 65200 to 65206, and 65208-65209. I chose Ignore each time, the game started and it didn't seem to have any nasty consequence...

I am playing 1419 Grand Campaign Scenario with Portugal and this appeared when loading an 1421 previously saved game.

I have been able to repeat this problem with the same saved game, and also with a newer saved game.

Any comment?
 
I downloaded the mod and extracted him in FtG/mods.
Now i have a "WATKABAOI" folder in my FtG/mods Folder (like the AGCEEP folder and the Age of Timur folder).
But, when i want to select the mod in the game's menu, i can only choose vanilla, AGCEEP, or Age of Timur.

Did i forget one step ? (It's the first time i try a mod in For The Glory, so...)

Thank you :)
 
Oh yes i've got the point, thank you !

It works.

It's a very very stunning work !

But i had a CTD in July 1337...Well maybe just bad luck, i will re-try tomorrow, the setup is very promising !

Just a question : I did'nt saw Danemark in 1337 (it's Schlewsig-Holstein...) but Norway has a RM with Danemark. Is it normal ? :confused:

Thanks. ;)

1337 and 1792 is in 2.01 a bit unstable, but the others found that first choosing another scenario on the list and then choosing the one you want prevents the game from crashing, though I have not had these problems. :)

About Denmark in the start they are in Estonia and will be so for the first 3 years when events kick in and the gain Jylland and then later the islands. :)

Yes that I have fixed. I ran into it my self when testing a 1419 game as Denmark. :) The problem is the monarchs of Baden. Just give them 75003 and onwards or wait for 2.02. :)

Oh, thank you much for the support! Ok, I fix it right now.

Seems the problem not only exists between Bavaria and Baden, but also exists between Poitou and Orléans (leader id 65101)...
BTW, I changed the leader_id for Baden as you said, but the same window still pops up when I launch the game; should I suppose that this file is only read once, when you begin a new scenario?

That was reported in the previous page and I've fixed it. :)

Yes save games save all the current monarchs to the file. So the updated files are not read here. You can change it also in the save if you want.
