    Unique DLV 1.9 features:

    1. Heraldic Rank System for European Factions (Squire-Knight-Knight Banneret-Knight Commander-Knight Grand Cross)
    a. Ranks of low station (Squire & Knight) have negative morale effect
    b. Knight Bannerets and above get positive traits and Banners with positive morale boost -- 54 unique banner ancillaries by Tokus*Maximus: 40 for Knight Bannerets, 10 for Knight Commanders, 4 for Knights Grand Cross
    c. Epithets for Knight Commanders and KGCs



    2. Campaign experience system for all factions...characters get campaign experience for ending turn outside settlements...full experience in enemy lands, partial experience in friendly lands. Greater campaigning gives greater positive trait bonuses. "Coming of age" characters start as "inexperienced campaigners" with negative traits.

    3. Field Army Script. So why not keep your generals in the field all the time so they can gain campaign experience? Because it costs cold hard florins. Armies in enemy territory can cost a king's ransom, particularly if they are besieging. Here are the costs:
    a. Besieging Army costs 2000fl + 500fl each additional Named General beyond the first
    b. Army in Enemy Territory costs 500fl + 500fl each additional Named General beyond the first
    c. Army in Friendly Territory (outside a settlement) costs 200fl +200fl each additional Named General beyond the first
    d. Army in Fort (captain-led) zero cost (so you can set up forts on the frontier as a defensive strategy)
    e. Army in Fort led by Named General costs 500fl (enemy lands) or 200fl (friendly lands) +500/200 for each additional Named General beyond the first

    4. Heraldic Title Ancillaries (Duke, Earl, Count, Caliph, etc.) for all Big Map 1.06 regions. In addition to Dearmad's beautiful ancillaries for the "vanilla" regions, Tokus*Maximus has created gorgeous ancillaries for the extended map regions (+37 of the vanilla regions!...more coming in future editions of DLV). Each Heraldic Title has associated traits...some good, some bad. Keep your eyes on the King of Jerusalem...he's itching to rebel.



    5. Age mod (with a DLV twist) by GAFH modder. Characters lose initiative (movement points) as they age (god, I know I do). Of course young characters have the least campaign experience and lowest heraldic ranks...so there are benefits to the wisdom age brings. Characters are also more likely to have children when young.

    6. Customized unit building tree. Units available in three ages: Early (available at start), Middle (available after Mongol invasion), Late (available after Timurid invasion). Only first level cavalry (hobilars, scouts, mounted sergeants, etc. and dismounted units) are available from the castle sans stable. Higher level cavalry require appropriate stables to be built.

    7. New family portraits (wife, son & daughter) for European factions.



    More DLV 1.9 features:

    1. Two turns per year (winter and summer)
    2. All factions playable except the slaves and Aztecs
    3. More effective and active rebels
    4. Tech tree: doubled building times (for 2 turns per year), higher lvl markets need paved roads, higher lvl smiths need resource iron, higher level siege/cannon need higher level smith
    5. Historical faction names
    6. Special win conditions; factions have specific goals
    7. Survival money infusion for small factions
    8. Shield Wall special ability for many infantry units (thanks to YogiBear)

    Plus...Best-in-class mod components from some of the community's top modders:

    1. Traits and Ancillaries by Dearmad (v1.7b)
    2. Campaign AI by GrandViz (v1.1)
    3. Battle AI and units by Darth Vader (Opensource 9)
    4. Big Map by Spurius (Big Map ext v1.06)

    Cheers!
