Anno DC

[Polpolgio]

Well, I'm proud to announce you my mod proposal -Anno DC-.


This mod would be about dark ages, starting in 600 and finishing about 800/900, so we could show the birth of Islam, the coronation of Charlemagne as roman emperor and the attacks from not roman cultures, like hungarians and vikings.

[charles the hammer]

how can you have the caliph of damascus when its not on the map?

[Pazu the Kitsune]

Would this cover the origins of the Papal States? With the Lombards and Byzantine Empire in Italy and all that?

Well, I'm proud to announce you my mod proposal -Year 600-.

This mod would be about dark ages, starting in 600 and finishing about 800/900, so we could show the birth of Islam, the coronation of Charlemagne as roman emperor and the attacks from not roman cultures, like hungarians and vikings.

I propose the following campaign map:

The possible faction list is the following one:

-Roman Empire
-Kingdom of West Franks (Neutrasia)
-Kingdom of East Franks (Austrasia)
-Kingdom of Burgundy
-Kingdom of Italy / Kingdom of Pavia
-Kingdom of the Visigoths
-Vasconian Kingdom
-Duchy of Aquitaine
-Kingdom of the Saxons
-Kingdom of the Frisons
-Kingdom of the Danes
-Kingdom of the Angles
-Duchy of Allamania
-Duchy of Bavaria
-Duchy of Spoleto
-Duchy of Benevento
-Kingdom of Essex
-Kingdom of Northumbria
-Kingdom of Mercia
-Briton Celts
-Irish Celts
-Kingdom of Masuna
-Avar Khanate
-Caliphate of Damascus (Emergent)
-Caliphate of Cordoba (Emergent)
-Kingdom of Hungary (Emergent)
-Kingdom of the Normans (Emergent)
-Kingdom of Asturias (Emergent)

I think all the factions are located at the map I linked above. I think there are some historic mistakes, but there aren't many available data of these years in Internet.

It's just a mod proposal, so I won't start this mod if anyone is offered to help, the mod would need a quite large staff, but aboveall, we would need historians and modellers to start the mod. The current developpers of this mod are:

I like this idea a lot Polpolgio!

[toluas]

This indeed sounds very, very interesting!

[Hrobatos]

and to add your mod could incorporate arrival of Croats and Serbs on Balkan, plus the the arrival of Bulgars
the map covers it...

[Polpolgio]

how can you have the caliph of damascus when its not on the map?

Well, when I said Caliphate of Damascus I meant the first caliphate, the Ummayad Caliphate, I think it's the same.

Would this cover the origins of the Papal States? With the Lombards and Byzantine Empire in Italy and all that?

Of course, but I forgot to add the Papacy to the possible faction list. The Papal States were created as a present from the Frankish emperor to the Pope.

and to add your mod could incorporate arrival of Croats and Serbs on Balkan, plus the the arrival of Bulgars

Of course, but this age was so important (many current nationalities were created in these years) that I forgot the arrival of Balcanic Slavic tribes, anyway, we can add them.

I like this idea a lot Polpolgio!

Thank you, mate

This indeed sounds very, very interesting!

Thank you again, mate

If you are interested in taking part of this project you only have to say it.

[Polpolgio]

I planned a possible shield for the kingdom of the Visigoths:

[konny]

Intereseting idea. I am still waiting for a mod that somehow deals with the Frankish Empire.


I could imagine that your set up (map in combination with start date) will cause you some trouble. Starting in 600 with having nothing of the Levante, Arabia or Egypt on the map must not be a good idea. In return the entire east of the map is empty, save for a seriously overpowered ERE. Scandinavia, in return, is mostly missing (not much Vikings, I guess.


I would suggest to cut out the eastern part (there is a Byzantine mod going on, roughly covering this time frame)

You should in return expand the map a bit more in the north to have at least parts of Sweden and Norway on it.

The starting date should rather be 711, that way you could start with the Arabs already in Andalusia but the Goths still alive. Even though this date might cause trouble concerning the Franks because both parts were reunited in 687. So, a date before 687 would be best, but with the Arabs already in Ifriqiya, something like 670.

[Polpolgio]

I agree with you, so the map would cover this zone?


The possible faction list won't be modified.

PS: Could any moderator reduce the map size? I don't know how to do it.

[konny]

Yes, that looks like the perfect size. Make that with 199 province and you have decent map!

[Hereje]

that's so ambitious!

[gogo t]

You can get the bulgarian units from the great conflicts, just have to ask for permision

Thank you mate , but I don't assure that Bulgaria appears.

[Polpolgio]

I have added a poll to the topic to vote the factions you want to appear in the mod, the most voted 25 ones will appear in the game. Multiple choice is allowed.

[Venia]

Need a skinner?

Any help will be welcome. I actually need all kind of modders, beacuse the developping team is empty

Do you want to join to the modding team?

Yeah, sure
I have a lot of time lately and the only mod I'm currently working on is SOI.

[Polpolgio]

Ok, I'm adding you now, but we won't start to mod until we have more modders in our team.

What is the Kingdom of Masuna? And may be you should include one or two Slavian factions such as Obotrites, Pommeranians etc.


Thuringia would also be an option for the east.
