Hello M.A.E
I can't send PM, because I have got less than 25 posts, so I will answer you here.
I can't say for another team members, because i abandoned this project more than 1 year ago.
As for translation - English for 1.2 version is available.

I'm the only author of changes in map since December 2014 (go to the first post of this thread if you want look at previous version of map), so if anyone want to use my map files
I have a few conditions:
- Poland and Lithuania are the one faction (Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth),
- you can't decrease amount of settlements in central Europe, I mean - in Poland, Lithuania, Hungary etc.
- you can't add settlements which were historically not important in that time,
- you can't favour single faction in amount of settlements (for example more settlements for Sweden, Lithuania, Cossacks, Turkey is inadvisable).
- develop level of settlements and factions must be historically correct.

I used "Geomod" to making changes in map so keep in mind that file:
imperial_campaign_regions_and_settlement_names.txt
is not compatible with other mod files. You could probably delete it.
Correct names of settlements are placed in file:
imperial_campaign_regions_and_settlement_names.txt.strings.bin
or you could use files "descr_regions.txt" and "descr_strat.txt" to check settlements names.

If you want to change names of settlements during game, you should check files from mods Third Age TW or DaC. There are scipt, which change names for example for Minas Morgul (into Minas Ithil) when Gondor recover this settlement from Mordor.
Geomod crash the descr_strat file (after saving), I don't know why - it is problem from beginning, so before using Geomod you should copy this file to safe location.
After finishing work with Geomod (after saving changes) you should change damaged file descr_strat to last copy.
You could edit descr_strat with notepad...

Reserved For Scripts Overview(OpenSource)

-Inheriting Throne for Habsburgs

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showt...-marriage-ties
this can be A base for further development and Represent the Habsburgs dominion on Spain and Other royal Dynasties,however. it is still Under Test and may need some improvement to make Some Lord of a State(Bavaria) if Married into France Royal Family Goes with his State into France and Both France and Bavaria Old Authority or Relatives to this City Can Make Reclaim Royal Title and so one (this can be done for major factions).However a better way to do this is by replacing the pope.

-Republics(Titanium -KER) Script

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

I Enjoyed this scripts Very Much playing Venice , and Can Be Also Done For Other Factions .

-Holy Roman Empire(Title System)

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

the Emperor of Romans , The Title Can Be Only Done by two Ways Either Replacing the Papal State with an HRE and Make the Electors of every Royal Family take place replacing Cardinal,However . this is the hard way
Other workaround is to Go to Traits.it is More Simple and More Easy on the Campaign Script ,But not like old traits, the new traits Gives Claim to Certain Power and Authority Even More can Be in mind ...

-Army Organization

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

this mostly not A new script only Developing Byg and AI into 16th Century Titles and System.

-Princess Claim into Throne by Miguel_08

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

it is manly new way to make Princess more Useful. This Can Be Combined with Claim to Thrones as Above Described in Hapsburgs,but the princess cant be Solely King only Male Faction Leader Limitation.Thus if A princess is Only Remainig From the Faction and that Faction Family Generals is dead the Princess can Give all its Cities into Her Husband from the other faction.

-Economy Per Faction Type

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

this is Tricky,the Republic maintain High Merchant Activities and more Trade,But Absolute Monorachy Maintain more Farming and the Old Feudal Client Lords States.

-Reformation(Protestantism) idea first noted by KmanBEAST

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reformation

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

two ways to make it work either by scripting a conversion date faction by faction or just start as a late date however i prefer the first way of conversion and will make more realistic and playable however this will make a lot of changes on diplomacy and wars latter on. beware the pope is not included as it is in vanilla thus it is triggered and you cant just choose to change religion it historically done and not debatable however it a nice 'option' if we put a conversion button for some fun !

-Joined Crowns:

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

I Had this Idea while ago but thought it would not be friendly to the Script ,but here we are if your beloved King or France is married to one of Daughter of Later King of Spain thus you have claim to make war to save the Spanish crown from the Usurper if the new king doesn't had the Last King Family trait or a Bastard son or you want badly Valencia to make your winter vocation there haha!. anyway if you have the power to get that crown or that why not ? of course it will be triggered as a mission and give a penalty in relations between the two or morefactions but beware of your own faction the prey.

-Fix For Married princess is Dead after her Faction is Destroyed:

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

its very very annoying to have that problem over and over i tried to make all factions a horde to not die or just uses somehow of alternate Family tree Show Bar to have Proper Visualization of How the princess is still alive but her faction is not. but in vain, however some friends of mine suggested to use a combined system to make a somehow exile settlement in an shadowed part of the map or just a fort making the faction as horde and just garrison all their troops their waiting for a rebellion or so in the former capital then delete(kill what the hell is on the shadowed Fort) and made the rebellion is the only army of that faction if defeated then it would be magically make a general and an army shadowed in the naughty fort waiting for another rebels ,but another problem jumps out this technique is not good for the player-faction and\or Republics factions thus it would be only for AI-Controlled Absolute factions.

-Governments Change Script(Wip):

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

tired of the Bad Aristocracy and that lazy king you could make a rebellion and change the government.

[Hannibal2001]

If you really want to add Principality of Transilvania then you must add Principality of Wallachia and Moldova as well . Other than that the ideea is pretty good.

[Vladyvid]

Voted 1500-1700. Good luck.

Does they exist Historically in 1500-1700 time-frame ? , if not i can add them as client Faction for Ottoman Empire... who knows there is 3 factions slot Available
let Me Know your thoughts..,

[M.A.E]

update: Final Faction and Main Time Period 1580AD For Main Campaign And 1805-1890 for Secondry Mod

[Anubis88]

Good luck. Wanted to something simmilar for a long time, never found the time to do it. I would definetly suggest the start after Carlos V inherits his maximum empire and gives the Austrian Archduchy to Ferdindand. Basically the fight of that era was against Habsburg domination, something that is impossible to represent without Habsburgers having possessions all over Europe

Thank You For Your Support and Suggestions , I think 1580 Would Be Very Good

[Gustav Mahler]

I voted 1500-1700 but I would be more pleased with period 1500-1650 since there are only pike and shot tactics in western Europe and no modern regiments with flintlocks and bayonets that have appeared in the late 17th century.

[ComnenusTheOne]

Voted 1400-1700 just because i wanna make you include a byzantine faction in the game

I can include line infantry and bayonets as elite units in the very late game .

Byzantiummm ? What !! Try to Imagine Byzantium vs Great Britain it will be epic....

Yes, they were established during the 14th century.

okay then i will add them we already made the map but not added full factions units yet, thus giving a 45 units for two more factions. Maybe adding mamluks ,balkan or Cossacks

[isa0005]

1400-1700 so that I can play the Byzantines and bring the Empire back from the brink of doom!
