Current Features

• New faction symbols for many factions. More to come in future updates.
• Authentic Faction and City Names - Faction and city names replaced with more authentic ones, endonyms where possible.
• Building and economy overhaul focusing on a more rational balance by adding maintenance costs to buildings and reducing corruption.
• Several campaign tweaks, including transports only through Ports - Armies can only go to sea through ports. This means that hordes cannot go to sea at all.
• Revised Diplomatic Effects (with new additional political enhancements) - Imperium is now less important in diplomacy than the personalities of faction leaders.
• Revised Faction Traits - Attempting to replace some of the “gamey” faction traits with more realistic ones.
• Imperium Increase from Technology Removed - self explanatory. Imperium no longer increases due to technology research.
• Plague and sanitation overhaul - More tools to fight plagues, and more differences between different plagues
• Religion overhaul - Effects, diplomatic relations modifiers, building effects, public order penalties, and more reworked
• Edict overhaul - One new edict, all others reworked
• Political effects reworked
• WIP traits overhaul - historical, religious, heirloom, and house/tribe traits

We've got a lot planned. Hopefully we'll have a substantial update fairly soon; this is just an early look. For the moment, there are no battle changes, so the mod is probably compatible with most battle mods by the way.

Also no startpos changes yet, but those are coming too.

[Peregrinus]

Hey guys!

got a few minutes to check this out, probably just scratched the surface, but here's some feedback and sugestions:

the faction traits, awesome!
the faction names, adds some flavor, but dont know if some people will ask for standard anglic version just because they're used to it
faction symbols, look good, I disabled Noif's to see yours, but didnt disable KLA's faction leaders and noticed Frank's territory color is green instead of blue, dont know if its some incompatibility or something you changed.

Now regarding buildings, I have two ideas to propose:

town sanitation, I dont understand why a town well should improve sanitation for the entire region, that bonus should go to the city food storage building instead, making it an added bonus to holding the region capital. So what I had in mind was change the well and following upgrades to give a good sanitation bonus to the town, as well as growth and a bonus to local agricultural building if its doable. While city food storage gives local and regional sanitation bonus, the standard food from reserve, and bonus to siege hold time or siege attrition reduction.

building maintnance, how about making a building cost something when that building has garrison units? My reasoning, if units in your army require maintnance, why shouldnt garrison units from buildings? So lets say a garrison unit should cost half or maybe a third of its front-line counterpart, so the larger a building's garrison, the more expensive it gets. This would probably increase greatly the maintnance costs of main city chain buildings especially, and it would also mean that buildings that improve the economy should not have any garrison, like trade ports, or buildings like a Warlord's Hold either provide garrison or culture income (not both, so makes the difference between choosing a warlords hold or tavern even greater if one adds garrison and other bonuses while the other adds more public order and income).

Looking forward to the startpos changes, suppose you're changing fertility and maybe 12tpy option

Sanitation is getting a complete overhaul soon (if I can get it working right. I'll need testers soon ).

That makes sense, as far as building maintenance. At the moment, I haven't removed any garrison units, only increased existing ones (for compatibility mostly), but it's something I could do in the future.

[Peregrinus]

Yea I hope I can help with that

I suppose some unit types (the most basic) when working as garrison units could have no maintnance, lets suppose they're militia that are only called to action when they're needed, so this idea could only be applied to the more specialized garrison units, that would make it a bit easier to mod.

Conggrats for the work Sir M_1512

[m_1512]

Thanks for the wishes, Junaidi. It was a team effort, and really great to work with Augutusng.

[avatarius]

great to see another promising mod. attila tw has some potential but it needs good overhauls to truly shine.
best of luck to you guys!

[Junaidi83 de Bodemloze]

Thanks for the wishes, Junaidi. It was a team effort, and really great to work with Augutusng.

Yeah i notice this Augutusng guys, he definitely worh every penny as db editor, i notice some of his work is realy great, people like him surely can improve AI into much better.

Thanks! Of course, I haven't touched any AI tables yet, and I don't think I can do anything as good as your better CAI mod anyway.

[Junaidi83 de Bodemloze]

Thanks for the kind words, anyways i enjoy yours revised Diplomatic mod, its even inspire me to some extend

[SharpEyed]

Alans are nomads, it's just got interesting now, as I love Nomads and there is only 1 with Vanilla, thou I'm not gonna give up from Huns this easy

So, I dare you!

[Augustusng]

Yep, we'll need to give the Alans a new roster eventually, with some more steppe units. For now they're still stuck with those anachronistic Germanic units (and those ridiculous war dog units they start with).

Oh man those Germanic spam in this game..
Germanic xxx religion, Germanic culture, Germanic roster (I guess more than 10 factions sharing the same?!) and so forth, I mean give me a break already.

Anyway, here not the complaining thread
And I have no doubt about u guys will do very well.

[jurgen]

Im looking foward for this mod, really looks promising, I was playing with franks and decided to go nomad, then I was thinking, vikings, saxons they work better sometimes like horde mode, so my suggestion would be, if posible, that u make the normal armies to be like the horde mode, able to camp, to restore units in the wild, to upgrade and build things within the army but without beeing a horde, that would be awesome and more realistic

[Augustusng]

I'm not sure if something like that is possible. I guess I could look into it, but even if it is possible, it would probably require some advanced scripting.

[Peregrinus]

i think both horde and settled active is not possible.

[jurgen]

I'm not sure if something like that is possible. I guess I could look into it, but even if it is possible, it would probably require some advanced scripting.

Just suggesting when finisth the main thing it would be a great asset, in fact I ll make a post with the idea in the main forum, keep the good work looks very good, and before nothing thanks for taking the time to read the coments and to mod the game, I know it aint a easy thing

[Hater01]

Is this mod dead? still working on it? are these planned updates finished ? ^^

[Augustusng]

It's not dead. We're taking it slow, because we don't want to have to redo too much each time a new DLC comes out. Don't expect an update until at least after the Charlemagne DLC. We might delay a bit more after that, depending on whether some new features are added in time.
