Historic Events for DarthMod

[The Border Reiver]

Hi everyone

Currently I've been putting together a historic events file, designed specifically for my DarthMod, and who knows if Darth likes the finished product, it may be included........... anyway to the point of this thread. Permision has been granted by Tokus to inlcude his customised Historical Events from the Deus Lo Vult mod.

If anyone has any specific historical events that they think should be included, or can offer any suggestions, or would like to help; could you please post your ideas and thoughts here.

What I need is:

- Event type (natural disaster, building, invention, publication, significant murder, art or sculpture... etc)
- Year
- hotlink to relevant pictures and verbiage

Now my strengths are English and Scottish History.....and therefore I'm deficient with all other factions . I would like to only keep this relevant to factions within the game, and the events I am adding are only as information and learning. They will not be triggered events.

Currently added (and under review):

Below are the actual events currently in my game. Date = years since 1080AD

[DARTH VADER]

Very nice I like it!

[Rex Inanimatus]

Just take a look at the Deus Lo Vult file and ask for permission it's almost Europa Universalis revissited

[The Border Reiver]

Hey Rex....thanks for that! I guess there's no need to reinvent the wheel!

Edited later

After looking at this one used in Deus Lo Vult, I can utilise certain elements of it, whilst still proceeding with my own, as that mod starts in 1180 and goes to 1630.

I'll update this post over the next few days with entries, but in the meantime, please feel free to add any thoughts.

I don't know if historical events can be triggered or not but perhaps if Scotland is still around in 1320 then you could have a Declaration of Arbroath event?

The Declaration was a petition to the Pope asking for recognition of the Scottish independence and their King. It was also stated that should the King not uphold Scottish independence another would be chosen - a bold statement in the times of Kings' divine rights! Finally it also contains the immortal phrase, stirring and worthy for inclusion for this alone :

"...for, as long as but a hundred of us remain alive, never will we on any conditions be brought under English rule. It is in truth not for glory, nor riches, nor honours that we are fighting, but for freedom – for that alone, which no honest man gives up but with life itself." - Sir James Fergusson's translation from the original Latin.(Incidentally, been playing DM almost since inception and can't imagine playing another way. Your map BR is superb and the engagement with the community to tweak and improve is very much appreciated.)

[The Border Reiver]

@Schiltron.....good name by the way! the Declaration of Arbroath is a definite

[Headlock]

I suggest you put up alist of the events you have so far, so people dont suggest stuff you already have, and it would also help people think of related or similar events.

I dont know if DLV already ahs that..

Cheers,
HDK

[The Border Reiver]

Point well taken Headlock I'll update my initial post this evening.

[The Border Reiver]

first post updated ...bump

[Billy9]

Mabye a formation of the Janissaries or Ottoman Empire?

Mabye a formation of the Janissaries or Ottoman Empire?

Hi Bill9...thanks for the suggestions. Normally I would add these but I am trying to steer clear of events that can be by the player.

I am not adding any scripting to events so these are an FYI if you llike.

For instance, I am not adding any of the historical crusades, that players would get a message stating a Crusade has taken place ...that they weren't invited to join.

For instance, the Ottoman Empire wouldn't be added, because there is the chance that the Turks would already by dead in the game.

[DARTH VADER]

Gather whatever you have ready to be put in first version of DM for 1.2!

[scivian]

I think Ive noticed different events In my Stainless Steel campaign from the my DLV campaign. Might be worth looking into.

[The Border Reiver]

Thanks for the heads up Scivian, I'll check it out!

[thecactusman17]

I have not checked to see when the mod ends (in terms of time). I know there's about 900 turns, but I don't know how that translates to years.

If it goes beyond the 1500s then I must mention 1584: Sir Walter Raleigh establishes the small colony of Roanoke in the New World, well north of the Spaniards.

Otherwise...

1099-1187: The four states compromising the Kingdom of Jerusalem are established following a successful first crusade on Jerusalem. *This event should automatically occur after any successful crusade on Jerusalem during this period, if that is possible.*

1100: establishment of the Cisterian monks.

1100-11035: The Virgin Mary granted Sainthood by the Catholic Church--first woman to receive sainthood.

1144: First example of Gothic architecture in medieval Europe, as the church of St. Denis is torn down and rebuilt in the new style. For the flavor text: "Certainly, this is just a passing fad, right?"

[The Border Reiver]

thanks Cactusman, I'll be adding those.

Although I can't script currently so the first one may be out!
