    -Due to a little oversight, some archers may be too strong. You may fix it with THIS file (or THIS one, if you have a none-English version of Kingdoms). Just copy it into your HRR_07\data folder and overwrite.

    -Some people have a fatal CTD in the year 1185. HERE is a patch for the problem; the readme is included in the .rar.

    Many thanks to llib for pointing out some problems.

    -A German translation is available here. Just extract the contents of the archive into your hrr_07/data/text folder and overwrite.

    1) Introduction

    Welcome to Das Heilige Römische Reich! Take control of one of the numerous lordships of the Holy Roman Empire and fight for the ultimate double goal of both becoming Emperor and establishing the Holy Roman Empire as Europe's hegemonial power. This will be no easy task, as you have to weaken your inner and outer imperial rivals while still trying to maintain good relationships with them, especially the mighty Elector Counts. Often diplomacy will achieve what swords can not. Open rebellion against Imperial laws will result in suffering the 'Reichsacht' or Imperial ban and should be avoided, as your rivals will jump at the chance to attack you with the Emperor's consent gladly...
    Or sit on the throne of one of the Germans' many rivals and stop their ambitions in their tracks...

    This Mod for Medieval 2: Total War - Kingdoms focuses on a much more realistic representation of the Holy Roman Empire:
    The vanilla HRE faction has been split and is now made up by the Duchys of Austria, Bavaria, Swabia, Saxony, Franconia, Upper and Lower Lorraine and the Kingdoms of Bohemia and Burgundy. These lordships are ruled by hereditary dukes and the all important (and hereditary) Elector Counts, who alone are able to vote in imperial elections. These take place in addition to the vanilla papal elections and have been added via script, as well as the 'Reichsacht' or Imperial Ban feature. This one punishes inter-HRE agressors with the 'Acht' and allows other HRE factions to attack them. In addition, banned HRE members are not allowed to vote and will never become emperor. Other new features include: Antipopes, Imperial Tax, uprisings, Counter Kings & Civil Wars, awardable titles as in MTW1 and much more!
    Prepare yourself for a medieval experience you never had before - becoming Emperor while mainting the Holy Roman Empire will not be an easy task!

    General hints: The mod was created for difficulty settings VH/H+ and you should not attack any none-rebel faction before turn 6 or 7.


    2) Features - also see THIS thread.

    -) Map

    - The new map focuses on Europe: America, the Middle East and large parts of Africa have been cut away. It's western border is Spain, it's eastern border the Georgian shore of the black sea.
    - based on Spurius' BigMap with additions by Sb2ean (RPM 2.3 BM)
    - starting positions:


    -) Provinces

    - 199 regions
    -many new ones added all around Europe:
    -Kherson (cumans)
    -Seleukeia (rebel)
    -Ancyra (turks)
    -Philadelphia (rebel)
    -Sinope (rebel)
    -Amaseia (rebel)
    -Dorylaeum (turks)
    -Tarnovo (byzantine)
    -Annaba (moors)
    -Sivas (rebel)
    -Bourges (france)
    -Troyes (france)
    -Perigueux (rebel)
    -Salamanca (spain)
    -Cadiz (moors)
    -Brest-Litowsk (poland)
    -Parma (rebel)
    -Bari (rebel)
    -Cambrai (rebel)

    -) Factions

    - 31 factions; all factions playable except Slaves and Mongols - 29 in total!
    - 13 new factions: The Duchys of Austria, Bavaria, Swabia, Saxony, Franconia, Upper and Lower Lorraine and the Kingdoms of Bohemia, Burgundy, Aragon (from Socal_Infidel's Pro Deo Et Rege) and Sweden, the Obotrite Confederacy and the Cumans

    -) Script features

    - Imperial Elections: HRE factions are able to elect the emperor now (in ADDITION to papal elections).
    - 'Reichsacht' / Imperial Ban: HRE factions can't attack their neighbour duchy without just cause. If they do, they will be banned and the priority target of the other HRE factions.
    - 'Reichssteuer' / Imperial Tax: The current Emperor gets paid a small tax by the other HRE members, as long as they are not losing money or are at war with him or under the Imperial Ban, of course!
    - Antipopes: Excommunicated Emperors now have the option to make one of their cardinals a puppet antipope under imperial control. This will allow emperors to receive the crown even when excommunicated as well as providing him with a strong candidate for the next papal elections - and these may take place sooner than expected if the pope falls victim to an assassins blade by ill chance...
    - Coronation Events: Human Emperors now need to travel to Rome to get crowned by the pope and receive the full benefits of being emperor. Excommunicated German Kings may no longer be crowned in their capital, but need either to 1) capture Rome and be crowned by an Antipope there or 2) go to Milan Province and receive the crown there by an Antipope, but that will only work if the King is allied with Milan.
    - New diplomatic overview screen covering the HRE's internal affairs.
    - AI money-script based on number of cities; AI dept money script; AI 'Last-Stand' money bonus script
    - Rebels are now agressive and build things; pirate and brigand spawn rates have been reduced
    - Counter-King / Imperial Civil War Feature added: The Emperor no longer gets banned, but if he isn't doing his job right, the opposition will set up a counter king and civil war will follow.
    - Much more detail has been added to the process of defineing the quality of the Emperor's reign. Things like growing/shrinking HRE, excommunication, the construction of special buildings, etc... now all play a role.
    - A message system that tells the Emperor if he is especially loved/hated has been introduced.
    - In addition, you now see who is Counter King in the HRE's diplomatic overview screen.
    - A garrison script has been added to the Obotrites' starting position. It is active as long as the majority of the Obotrites is pagan (AI only).
    - AI controlled Obotrites will convert to catholicism automaticaly as soon as the majority of the population has been converted. Players have the option to remain pagan. New buildings and units will become available, but the 'pagan bonuses' will be lost.
    - The scripts for rebellious regions have been updated so that the spawned rebel armies attack properly most of the time. They also don't always spawn randomly but are tied to special events.
    - In addition, certain rebel provinces have got garrison scripts now (Mostly the 'rebellious provinces' mentioned above).
    - The Obotrites now get a special moral boost in their home provinces as long as they are pagan. You'll most probably have to kill them to the last man to win any battles vs the Obotrites there.
    - Title system added: Award titles as in good old MTW1. For an overview of the current titles, see this thread.
    - Aging one year per turn script added.
    - AI has been edited so that it can cope with special things like civil war, imperial ban, and the 'multi-faction-HRE'.
    - 'Romzug' feature added: A newly elected German King may declare that he will travel to Rome to become Emperor. This will provide extra movement points for him and an extra tax. The Romzug is subject to a time limit and geographical limits - the Emperor may not leave the HRE's territory while on the Zug. His reputation will suffer significantly if he does or if he fails to get the crown before the time limit runs out.
    - The Crown of Italy (aka Iron Crown of Lombardy): This is available in Milan for German Kings that control that province or if the owner is an allied HRE nation not subject to the Reichsacht. Also available for none-hre faction leaders that take Milan.
    - 'Renewed oaths of allegiance' upon election of a new Emperor: All HRE factions not subject to the Reichsacht will be allied again.

    -) General:

    - Starting positions: changed for a better representation of 1080
    - 1 turn per year; build times / settlement mechanics etc updated to match the new time scale; characters also age one year per turn
    - lots of names have been changed to more historic ones.
    - 'retrofitted': boiling oil and other 'Kingdoms' features are included.
    - Some settlements change their name during the campaign now, dependent on their owner. e.g.: Lübeck is called Ludice as long as it is not under German control.
    - New strat-map-models: All catholic kings use the 'generic northern king' model (from 'Kingdoms'). The Holy Roman Emperor is represented by a unique model of his own, thanks to Alletun.
    - Faction leaders that become 'king' via an ancillary get the 'king' strat-map (and battle-) model, even if they are not normally a king (e.g. the Duke of Milan).
    - Historic family trees for many of the factions.
    - Lots of new historic events
    - GrandViz's Ultimate AI 1.6 AI pack included.
    - Full hotseat support - IMPORTANT: You need to play hotseat with console ACTIVATED. Otherwise lots of features won't work properly. It's not possible to use the console anyway, so you don't have to fear cheaters.
    -Judaism added / Jewish Temple building added.
    -Venice has been turned into an island; it's army has been reduced considerably.
    -The titles of Elector Count have been re-allocated for a better mix of playability and historical accuracy. Now the Elector Counts are: The Dukes of Upper & Lower Lorraine, Franconia and Saxony and the King of Bohemia.
    -Improved and more detailed era system added: 14 additional tech events added; ships and cities tied to era system.
    -AOR (Area of Recuitment) system added: 26 AOR zones so far, including 3 'dynamic' AOR zones (Asia Minor/Greece; Spain; Slavic regions NE of germany) that even allow a shift of native populations. See the appropriate thread for more infos -> LINK.
    -ZOC (Zone of Control) system added: 8 different administration/government types & their respective special building chains have been added. See the appropriate thread for more infos -> LINK.
    -'Huge cities' are limited to certain regions now. Usually ones with lots of trade or very fertile regions.
    -AI: Pope reworked, so he is not passive all the time any more.
    -Mercenaries: reworked pools and rosters to include the new and correct 'Mercenary Knight Armour Progression' (Frankish Knights > Mercenary Knights > German Mercenary Knights; 6 different upgrades in total)

    -) Graphics

    - New event- and ancillary pics.
    - New loading logo, menu style and layout and loading screens added.
    - New skins, battle banners, etc... for all new factions
    - New and unique battle skins for faction leaders, kings and emperors, most of them thanks to Musculus Maximus.
    Future Plans
    - the HRE script will be extended to allow the Emperor to control the HRE's foreign politics, and react to inner-HRE treats.
    - double-elections, uprisings and civil wars will be implemented
    - unique victory conditions for the new factions
    - continued improvement of HRE battle skins
    - unique unit roster for certain HRE factions (especially for Lower Lorraine, Burgundy and Bohemia)
    - improvement of the existing factions and better campaign balance
    -Missing captain skins added.
    -New heater shields for Saxony & Lower Lorraine, Austria, Bavaria, Upper Lorraine, Franconia, Swabia, Bohemia, Burgundy and the Obotrites.
    -New skins for Burgundy.

    -New Stratmap-models for the HRE factions (no more full plate models)
    -New Battle-Map Captains & Named Generals for all 'western' nations
    -New Battle-Map Faction Leaders and Heirs for all western factions: These are tied to the era system (dark age, early, high & late medieval) and to the status of your leader (Kings wear crowns for example).
    -new icons & cards for all new ZOC buildings
    -new UI-cards & info pics for all completely new units.
    - and much more...

    -Many of the units with wrong skin allocation have been fixed.
    -Wrong Obotrite Bodyguard & Named Character Animations fixed.

    3) Installation

    - Delete any previous version of 'Das Heilige Römische Reich' or 'The Empire: Total war'.
    - Start the installer (point it to your Medieval II root directory. c:\program files\medieval II\ for example).
    - To launch the mod, use the medieval2_HRR_07.bat located in Medieval II/mods/HRR_07, or use the desktop shortcut or start menu symbol (created automatically during installation). Steam users should use the launcher.
    - To uninstall the mod, run 'Uninstall HRR.exe' located in your Medieval II root directory or by clicking 'uninstall HRR' in the mod's start menu entry.


    4) Notes:

    - This mod neither changes nor adds files in your original Medieval II folders. Therefore, it should run with other mods that don't change them without problems. If you have changed your original files, it is recommended that you reinstall M2TW before installing 'Das Heilige Römische Reich'.
    - If you want to turn on battle banners, open 'medieval2.HRR_07.cfg' (in mods/HRR/), and change the following line from:
    show_banners = 0
    to
    show_banners = 1

    - Custom battles are disabled. This game mode is not supported nor will be. If you want to join our team as a member responsible for custom battles, contact us via our forum (address: see below)
    - If you get CTDs when clicking other factions on the campaign map, delete the audio and event files in your mods/HRR_06/data/sounds/ folder (That shouldn't happen anymore, but I couldn't test it with all language versions). This might also help if you are experiencing general sound problems.
    - The mod's core timeframe is 1080-1300. While we have included most units up to 1525, they are only balanced until ~1400. Maybe we will fix this in the future.
    Known issues:
    - Repeated clicking on the faction symbols (~12+ times) in the campaign faction selection menu causes a CTD.
    - From time to time you will notice corrupted UI icons. Please safe & reload when you are experiencing this. The cause of that bug is known and will be fixed for the final release.
    - Sweden will be removed from the mod in future versions. That's why they often use other faction's skins, have missing icons, etc...
    - The Cumans are very beta still.

    Das Heilige Römische Reich - Version 0.7
    Units


    New General Skins

    New catholic generals, each coming with three differents surcoats:




    New Realistic armour progression for knights, bodyguards, leaders and heirs:

    Mailed and Feudal Knights now have realistic upgrades (heavy mail/partial plate), each tied to the era system. Bodyguards may be upgraded with each new armour technology occuring (heavy mail, partial plate, full plate, advanced plate). Leaders and heirs will be upgraded automatically: Once a new armour technology occures, all new leaders and heirs will get a visible armour upgrade.

    light mail




    heavy mail




    advanced heavy mail



    partial plate





    New Units

    Petcheneg Horse Archers

    The once mighty people of the Pechenegs has been crushed by its foes, but their remaining horsemen are still formidable warriors. These mercenaries serve in many an army near the black sea.



    Cuman Horse Archers

    The Cumans are a nomadic Turkish people occupying the area north of the Black sea, who are often employed as mercenaries. Accustomed to a life in the saddle, they are excellent light horse archers equipped with powerful composite bows. They prefer to avoid hand to hand combat though.



    Cuman Nobles

    The Cuman's ruling class goes to war clad in light mail, armed with sword and composite bow. They are able to master any situation on the battlefield and are very reliable.



    Alamanoi

    Since the time of the Holy Roman Emperor Otto I, German mercenaries served in the Byzantine army as heavy infantry. Despite the usual bad relations between the Roman Empire and the "Holy Roman Empire" (predominantly over the name and the right of each ruler to be called the Roman Emperor), mercenaries from the numerous German states served in the Byzantine army from the 3rd to the 14th centuries. [text from CBUR]







    Brabancon Mercenaries

    These professional mercenaries hail from the country of Brabant and the surrounding areas. They have a fearsome reputation, especially among knights. They are one of the few units of their time able to withstand a cavalry charge, thanks to their long spears.



    Faris

    These are Moorish nobles armed with bow and sword, clad in light armour. While they may be inferior to western knights in close combat, they are far more mobile.



    Seljuk / Turkish Horse Archers

    Accustomed to life in the saddle these hardy bowmen come from the poorer level of nomad society and make excellent horse archers. Wearing little or no armour these highly manoeuvrable troops pepper the enemy with arrows, and use their speed to stay out of harm's way.



    Seljuk Nobles

    Seljuk Nobles are feudal cavalry, land holders given nominal power over their fiefs, in exchange for military service. These horsemen are better armoured than their tribal counterparts, while not as mobile, armed with spear and composite bow. The increased protection offers more opportunity for these units to enter into hand to hand combat where they may easily hold their own.

    • Linz / Österreich (Austria)
    • Worms / Franken (Franconia)
    • Toul / Oberlothringen (Upper Lorraine)

    3)New factions

    -The Kingdom of Aragon (skins thanks to Socal_infidels's Pro Deo Et Rege)
    -The Cumans have been added (instead of The Khazars). Note that they are in a very beta state at the moment. They will be improved in future versions.

    4)New/better script features

    -Money scripts have been adjusted again, for balancing reasons.
    -Counter-King / Imperial Civil War Feature added: The Emperor no longer gets banned, but if he isn't doing his job right, the opposition will set up a counter king and civil war will follow.
    -Much more detail has been added to the process of defineing the quality of the Emperor's reign. Things like growing/shrinking HRE, excommunication, the construction of special buildings, etc... now all play a role.
    -A message system that tells the Emperor if he is especially loved/hated has been introduced.
    -In addition, you now see who is Counter King in the HRE's diplomatic overview screen.
    -A garrison script has been added to the Obotrites' starting position. It is active as long as the majority of the Obotrites is pagan (AI only).
    -AI controlled Obotrites will convert to catholicism automaticaly as soon as the majority of the population has been converted. Players have the option to remain pagan. New buildings and units will become available, but the 'pagan bonuses' will be lost.
    -The scripts for rebellious regions have been updated so that the spawned rebel armies attack properly most of the time. They also don't always spawn randomly but are tied to special events.
    -In addition, certain rebel provinces have got garrison scripts now (Mostly the 'rebellious provinces' mentioned above).
    -The Obotrites now get a special moral boost in their home provinces as long as they are pagan. You'll most probably have to kill them to the last man to win any battles vs the Obotrites there.
    -Title system added: Award titles as in good old MTW1. For an overview of the current titles, see this thread.
    -Aging one year per turn script added.
    -AI has been edited so that it can cope with special things like civil war, imperial ban, and the 'multi-faction-HRE'.

    5)Bugs hunted out:

    -All fixes from versions 0.51 & 0.52 have been added to 0.6 as well.
    -Many of the units with wrong skin allocation have been fixed.

    6)General:

    -Changed starting positions: Different buildings for Franconia.
    -Judaism added / Jewish Temple building added.
    -Some province / city names have been changed.
    -Venice has been turned into an island; it's army has been reduced considerably.
    -The titles of Elector Count have been re-allocated for a better mix of playability and historical accuracy. Now the Elector Counts are: The Dukes of Upper & Lower Lorraine, Franconia and Saxony and the King of Bohemia.
    -New Title: 'Duke of Lower Lorraine'. As long as the HRE controls both Antwerp and Köln, the title goes to the Emperor's heir. If other factions control both provinces, their faction leader gets the title.
    -First traces of an AOR have been added (Zones so far: Low Lands, Lorraine, North-Eastern Germany; many more to come).
    -Era system added. No more Chivalric Knights in 1080.

    7) Graphics

    -A new battlebanner for the Kingdom of Burgundy has been added. (again...)

    -New Stratmap-models for the HRE factions (no more full plate models)

    -Bohemia's militia units have been replaced by slavic ones.
    -New units: Thuringian Archers, Lorrainian Infantry, Lorrainian Spearmen, Lorrainian Crossbowmen, Lowland Peasant Militia, Lowland Spear Militia, Goedendag Militia (these are all AOR units), German Polearm Warriors, German Knights, Dismounted German Knights, German War Servants (the last four are available for most of the HRE factions), Obotrite Bodyguard, Obotrite Axemen (surprisingly, these are Obotrite units), Baltic Crusader Sergeants (Mercenarys available for crusading armies in the Balticum).

    <

    Changelog HRR v0.4 - HRR v0.5

    1)New map

    -The new map focuses on Europe: America, the middle east and large parts of Africa have been cut away. It's western border is Spain, it's eastern border the Georgian shore of the black sea.
    -Due to the smaller map the mod runs faster now.
    -~30 province- and 3 faction slots are free now (with Egypt, the Aztecs and the Timurids gone).
    -Rivers, Fords and borders have been adjusted.

    2)New provinces

    The following cities/provinces have been added:

    -Lund/Skane (to Denmark)
    -Danzig/Pommern
    -Straßburg/Elsass (to Swabia)
    -Geneva/Upper Burgundy (to Burgundy)
    -Brandenburg/Nordmark

    Although these provinces are all in close proximity to HRE territories, this does not mean that other nations will be neglected. Almost every realm will get it's share of the ~30 new provinces that will be added.

    3)New factions

    -The Obotrite Confederacy added.

    4)New/better script features

    -The Imperial Election Script has been modified to work in hotseat mode. Some messages are messed up still, but the election itself works.
    -A new Imperial Election Interface has been added: Lots of people were a little bit confused about the election process. I hope the new interface will solve this problems.
    -A new Imperial Overview feature has been added: It is now possible to check if certain HRE factions are banned, Elector Counts, Emperor, ... at any time.
    -New feature 'Imperial Tax' has been added: The current Emperor gets paid a small tax by the other HRE members, as long as they are not losing money or are at war with him or under the Imperial Ban, of course!
    -New Coronation feature: Human Emperors now need to travel to Rome to get crowned by the pope and receive the full benefits of being emperor.
    -New Antipope feature: Excommunicated Emperors now have the option to make one of their cardinals a puppet antipope under imperial control. This will allow emperors to receive the crown even when excommunicated as well as providing him with a strong candidate for the next papal elections - and these may take place sooner than expected if the pope falls victim to an assassins blade by ill chance...
    -Scripts to prevent the HRE factions from too fast early expansion have been added.
    -AI money-script based on number of cities added.
    -'Last-Stand' money bonus script added for AI
    -Rebels are now agressive and build things; pirate and brigand spawn rates have been reduced; money bonus script
    -'Unrest in Italy!' - The independent cities in northern italy (Pisa, Florence, Genoa and Bologna) are very hard to conquer now. A similar script will be added to other 'stubborn' or rebellious regions on the map too.
    -A similar feature has been added for Bucharest, Belgrade, Sofia and Kiev.

    5)Bugs hunted out:

    -Problems with the .sd-converter have been solved (hopefully). The .sd converter is no longer used. AFIAK there are no more 'graphic-corruption CTDs'.
    -NOTE: People may have noticed that the Emperor is subject to the 'Imperial Ban' too. However, this is no bug, it is just a stand-in for a future civil war feature.
    -Fixed a bug in the election script: Under certain circumstances it was possible that two emperors existed at the same time; usally in conjunction with a bug saying 'The Emperor's house died out' while it was still alive.
    -Banners now show if a unit is fleeing or fighting to the last man correctly
    -Fixed a bug where humans could vote in imperial elections even when they were subject to 'Reichsacht' / imperial ban.
    -Fixed a bug where humans could vote twice in imperial elections when they controlled the last emperor.
    -Fixed bugs in the Reichsacht/Imperial Ban script: Factions get banned for declaring war and sieging settlements now.
    -General stability improved. Hardly any CTDs left.

    6)General:

    -Changed starting positions: Milan no longer holds Genoa, Magdeburg has been given to Saxony.
    Visby is Rebel, Nicaea and Diarbekr turkish, Trebizon and Crete byzantine. Dijon is French. We will continue to improve them for a better representation of medieval Europe in 1080.
    -Build times have been doubled to match the 1 turn per year time scale.
    Changed settlement mechanics to match the 1 turn per year time scale.
    -lots of names have been changed to more historic ones.
    -mod name changed from 'The Empire: Total War' to 'Das Heilige Römische Reich' thanks to CA calling their upcoming game Empire:TW...
    -mod ported over to the 'Kingdoms' expansion
    -Some settlements change their name during the campaign now, dependent on their owner. e.g.: Lübeck is called Ludice as long as it is not under German control.
    -Burgundy has been renamed to 'The Kingdom of Burgundy' and got a new Coat of Arms (The old COA was from the french duchy of burgundy).
    -New strat-map-models: All catholic kings use the 'generic northern king' model now (from 'Kingdoms'). The Holy Roman Empire is represented by a unique model of his own, thanks to Alletun.
    -Faction leaders that become 'king' via an ancillary get the 'king' strat-map (and battle-) model, even if they are not normally a king (e.g. the Duke of Milan).
    -Historic family tree added for Swabia's Hohenstaufen dynasty. The others will get family trees too.
    -Better, longer and general improved texts for the new historic events.
    -Campaign description for the Papacy added.
    -GrandViz's Ultimate AI 1.6 AI pack added. See his forum here.
