oh my god
france and spain are so cool

[Hereje]

I love those campaign textures! Awesome work!

[Hengest]

I'm up for it too. It will surely be fun!


About city names: Once conquered will we be able to change them without interfearing with any scripts?

You mean manually changing the names as you can in vanilla? Yes. I believe we will also have some settlements automatically change name depending on which faction controls the settlement. For instance London for England, Londres if it was France controlling it.

Wasnt it said that the stone forts will have names?

[Nelduin]

Doest the AI use them ? Because I remember there are PSFs in Broken Crescent, for example, but AI factions don't use them to defend there homeland. They attack only yours when you have a Fort with garrison.

Looks great.

[Horatius Flaccus]

It looks like Iberia is going to be interesting!

I believe that would require a (pretty heavy) script that places invisible agents on inaccesible tiles next to the fort. I don't think the team would want that, especially with so many forts.

The forts will have a permanent garrison AFAIK.

Looking good guys kutgw.

[calicheSCOT]

First time i've ever seen Elgin as a region capital in any game! I'll be getting the mod just for that!

[pacco]

Great work guys!

[Hydro]

Y'all should do an entry for a middle-eastern territory.

[The Norseman]

Now isn't ignorance amusing

[Resurrection]

Update in the first post - Entry 5: Italy. Enjoy!

PLEASE PAY ATTENTION TO NOTES UNDER THE IMAGES THIS TIME TO AVOID NEEDLESS QUESTIONS. THANK YOU.

[Christonikos]

I just found about this mod and YES, Permanent forts everywhere! Which means more fronts to defend and bigger armies thanks to garrisoned units.
However I must admit that I am very curious about the way they will be used by AI.
And BTW, will I be able to make wooden forts as well?

No.


Real Italy (nice and bumpy)!

[Anhelo]

Very nice map looking at Italy i may have to change my starting faction and my sig.

I know you added that note to dissuade discussion and complaints on it.. but sorry, I do have to voice my personal disapproval. That sea of red forts just makes the map look very vulgar.

Just my aesthetic opinion though.

I understand but I really don't have any idea how it could be improved. We can't use white background papal COA if it was not used until 16th century and was red throughout Middle Ages. Same goes for HRE where we simply cannot use Emperor's personal banner (gold on black) instead of actual COA of HRE arms. If we used Florence as starting capital of CT then it would be white but Florence was not dominant power in Tuscany yet and it could still be confused with CL (which is same for both Milan and Genoa). There really is no other solution than to divert from historical accuracy which we obviously do not want to do.

I may promise you to try and make the red a bit more diversified to make it clearer but in-game it is not that bad as it might seem from screenshot.

Lastly I didn't want to dissuade criticism nor discussion but merely to answer obvious question before hand.
