    Default [RELEASED] Lux's Lucca Submod for TIW 5.0

    Respublica Lucensis:
    a Lucca submod for TIW 5.0



    Description
    This submod enables the Republic of Lucca as a playable faction in Medieval II Total War: The Italian Wars 5.0. Lucca, an independent city-state and maritime republic, survived from its foundation in the 12th century until Napoleon's invasion of the Italian peninsula almost 600 years later. A famous centre of the silk trade in the Italian Renaissance and temporary home of Dante, Lucca begins the Grand Campaign in 1493 in an exciting but difficult position ideal for players who like a challenge. Its small size as a one-province minor will suit the more experienced general: Lucca will have to claw its way through blood to greatness. At the same time, its silk trade and numerous potential maritime trade routes pose great opportunities for the more peaceful podesta in search of wealth.

    Features


    • Overhauled 2D faction flags in the campaign and all associated screens, based upon the flag of the Luccan Republic
    • New unit banners for RTS battles, based upon the arms of the four patrician families of the Republic
    • Reworked ancillaries and noble titles
    • Reworked textures for RTS battle units
    • New and unique starting position
    • For screenshots, see below.


    Requirements


    1. The Italian Wars 5.0
    2. English translations patch for The Italian Wars 5.0


    Download & Installation Instructions
    Simply download the .zip file here and unzip/extract using 7Zip or your preferred programme. Then, run the .exe file and, when prompted, install the submod to your mods/Italian_Wars folder.

    Caveats & Limitations

    • Please bear in mind that, installing this file will make the Signoria as Florence disappear as a faction. This is because the creator was unable to add new factions and unit rosters at this time, and so re-shaped Florence into the Republic of Lucca.
    • As such, the Republic of Lucca 'takes the place' of Florence in history. It is still able to form the Grand Duchy of Tuscany, as all the Florence events simply happen to Lucca instead. This mod may be ideal for micro-state enthusiasts or those interested in Lucca, but generals in search of absolute historical accuracy will be disappointed.

    That's my play style. Thanks for uploading.

    Have a nice day.

    Thorolf was thus armed. Then Thorolf became so furious that he cast his shield on his back, and, grasping his halberd with both hands, bounded forward dealing cut and thrust on either side. Men sprang away from him both ways, but he slew many. Thus he cleared the way forward to earl Hring's standard, and then nothing could stop him. He slew the man who bore the earl's standard, and cut down the standard-pole. After that he lunged with his halberd at the earl's breast, driving it right through mail and body, so that it came out at the shoulders; and he lifted him up on the halberd over his head, and planted the butt-end in the ground. There on the weapon the earl breathed out his life in sight of all, both friends and foes. [...] 53, Egil's Saga
    I must tell you here of some amusing tricks the Comte d'Eu played on us. I had made a sort of house for myself in which my knights and I used to eat, sitting so as to get the light from the door, which, as it happened, faced the Comte d'Eu's quarters. The count, who was a very ingenious fellow, had rigged up a miniature ballistic machine with which he could throw stones into my tent. He would watch us as we were having our meal, adjust his machine to suit the length of our table, and then let fly at us, breaking our pots and glasses.
