IB2 FD Map

[Protestant Knight]

You will be happy to hear we now have the Llydaw faction in the Amorica/Brittany region in our next upgraded IB2 Britannia mod. It will be a beginning faction similar to Rheged, thus a difficult faction to play-For the game play and the micro map type size, it fits
I'll be adding them most likely to the Odoacer mod and possibly here. The bigger the world the lesser we can add a minor faction such as this one

That is awesome to hear about the Llydaw faction I'm really looking forward to IB2 Britannia mod and even more so about FLAGELLVM DEI as always keep up the good work P.K.

oh nice!!!!!! well i'm more than happy on this one , i'll never stop playing those mods now

For the symbole faction, Llydaw was known for javeline cavalry (like the Marca) and for the black shield they carry to battle... (there were in arthurian total war so there might be info if needed)

Thanks for the great news Riothamus, i can't wait for the next version...

P.S.: if any help is needed just ask (i mean historicaly, the last time i tried to modify the game i just manage to make it crash )

[tank0fell]

Just a suggestion, how about some small independent states? I don't like that half the world is grey... but that's just my opinion.

Only if it reached to where FD1 was...

[Riothamus]

Redid Britain, Scotland and Ireland Added major rivers, lakes throughout the map

Rivers such as the Euphrates and Tigris are widened at the mouth and are navigatable but do continue on the map
in their geographical correctness

Updated the 457AD Majorian Map
British Isles provinces reduced and provinces added elsewhere(Gaul)
Added:
Red: WRE
Green: Romano British
Light Brown: Angli/Saxon/Jute Confederation
Blue: Merovingian Franks
Dark green: Suebie
Orange: Visigoths
Dark Brown: Vandals
Yellow: Gepids
Black: Ostrogoths

Still to add:
ERE
Gaels
Picts
Sassanids
Alemanni
Burgundi
Langobards
Bulgars
Slavs



Map Goal to be like this:

Just a few inconsitencies;

-Langobards weren't signifigant until towards the end date of your campaign; replacing them with the thuringii (as suggested earlier) would make things interesting between the franks, alemanni, and thuringii
-Visigoths should only hold pieces of central Tarraconensis below Aquitaine
-Romans had nominal control over eastern spain under Majoran, in preparation for the attack accross the Gibraltar
-Aegidius re-joined the Empire under Majoran. There was a thin strip of land connecting Arles/Narbonne (then roman) to Aedigius
-Aegidius' lands are too extensive - give WRE Narbo, and give the visigoths the 2 provinces above narbonne and toulose.
-Burgundians were only just beggining to act out in 457, reduce their control by 1 province is what i would reccomend. Gives room for expansion too.
-Corsica and Sardinia were Roman (as per Ricimer repulsing the vandal assault in 458)

-More inconsistencies
-Mauretania and Tripolitania were still under Roman control until after 455 (As per the Nov. Valentinian)
-All of Sicily was Roman (As per the repulsed assault on Palermo of 440)
-All of spain Minus Tarraconensis and Valentia should be Suebic (As per the suebic conquests up until 446)
-Amorica should be Roman (As per Aetius' Reconquest with the alans in 435)
-Burgundians should be reduced to 1 province, supplement the others under roman control (as per the attacks of 436/437)
-Tournai should be Roman (As per the repulsed assault outside Vicus Helena by Aetius and Majoran in 448)
-Trier should be Roman (As per another repulsed frankish assault by Aetius)
-Add the saxons (As per the Groan of the Brittones)
-Taurica should be ERE
-As there are no records of vandal raids on corsica and sardinia until 458, they should be Roman.

I need a new map for IBUR, I'm stuck with Vanilla, could you help me contact Icetorque to ask about permission to use his map?

All in all, starting with Majoran is an excellent Idea.

Cant wait for this..

This is all WIP and unfinished. Its a base model just to have something playable and observable...Dont need where factions should be etc...thank you

Sorry if I insulted you, I was just saying where and why it needs to be revised.

But seriously, Majoran is a great starting point for this campaign. Under Majoran there was still a chance for the WRE to recover, but it was a greater challenge than it was under Aetius. I look forward to playing as him, should make for a difficult and enjoyable campaign.

I wasn't insulted Aetius. It does gets a little annoying though when the product is basically rough first draft to get it workable. But I do appreciate your interest. Thank You

I have no clue about the provinces, but this would be a more accurate representation of both campaigns if you're interested:

453: Saxons are Yellow-Orange, Suebes are Teal

This map could be way bigger, just look at SS. Map needs to extend all the way to India and Jaxarta like the first IBFD.

That's not necessarily needed. What importance did the Hephtalites and Gupta have with the migrations in Europe anyway? And besides, we get to put more regions into Europe this way.

Currently its just a WIP. I most likely will extend it but to what extent we dont know-its not a focus of the team just yet

[Vazura]

So how is this coming along?

[Evalation]

As Rio stated it is a work in progress, the team will give this part of the mod their full focus after rex Italia. Be patient my friend

[midnite]

So how is this coming along?

Much of the work we do for vandalorum, conquestus and odoacer will be portable to the full IB2 mod. This should help to shorten the modding time for IB2.

[YuilenZ01]

Well if you intend on keeping it as a vanilla-ish map, good luck finding any real success with it. I just look at that map and then think of IBFD 1's campaign map and then I look back at this map and shudder.
