Thirty Years' War historic re-enactment (1648v2.0 mod)
Hello to all fans of military history!
The idea to start a campaign, it is appropriate to historical realities and limitations of conventional strategy in hotseat. Our sites (2) is russian and ukrain languaged, but I can to post all of messages both sides.
Details about the plot
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
What I would like to change.
1. The historicity. Ordinary network campaign often nothing to do with the story, except for the entourage, has not. Alliances are with anyone (HRE with France or even with some Khaliphate) in accordance with the likes of players and placement on the map. Alas, historically it is a little interesting. But almost all of us are history buffs.
2. Artificial Intelligence. As we all know for certain that the "intelligence" has changed little since the days when the red squares went to war against the blue squares. AI terribly thinking and does not react to what is happening.
3. The permanent stoppage of play. Yes, the real world is invisible pressure on our rulers of kingdoms and empires, and we have a permanent breaks in the game, which reduces the intensity and excitement.
How can this be done.
1. Historicity is achieved simply by typing some rules that force players to adopt policies in line with them.
2. No AI! Show fighters. After all, as usually happens - the rulers of conduct in relation to the dizzying blittskrigi brainless AI in order to create his rear of the edge or corner of the map, and this area completely disappears from the theater of war.
3. Stop the game can be overcome! And here again we can help rule - unbreakable allies will be able to look like a missing governor, otherwise apply strict rules on the course of 3 days - pass.

People Archbishop horrified to find groups of neighboring Braunschweig at the walls of the city, fiercely attacking a small detachment of our ally, the Catholic League. Lord save us! Having to drive the cattle within the walls they breathlessly watched the brutal beating of allies. After the alarm and the town hall meeting burghers decided not to stay away from such a brutal massacre. Benefit housed at the bivouac near several detachments rootless mercenaries whom and sent behind enemy army departed. Traces of the army led to the Brunswick River. Seeing the army of the enemy on the opposite bank reckless captain attacked him. It ended in tears for us, but the fact we showed their spirit, their strength, their determination to take revenge at any cost. Believe antichrists! Otherwise, the sword of God will reach you!
