@KK: SS 5.1 Full Map mini-mod

[Chalupaku]

Edit:

The project is now (more or less) finished!
The mod contains files for both early and late campaigns as well as titles for the new provinces.*
It is most likely not save compatible with the earlier version. That being said, I'm pretty certain that the map.rwm file only effects a new campaign in the process of being created, not a previously saved one. What this means is that the new version should not have any effect on previously saved games, for better or worse.

Finalized Province List:
Scotland: Aberdeen
Ireland: Ulster
England: Southampton
Portugal: Coimbra
Moorish Spain: Sevilla
West Africa: Al-Mahdiya
Baltic: Copenhagen, Lubeck, Lyndanisse, *Konigsberg
Poland: Gniezno
Bohemia: Kutna-Hora
Northern Italy: Pisa
Southern Italy: Reggio, Brindisi
Balkans: Zara, Preslav
Greece: Adrianople
Russia: Tver, Turov, Chernigov, Zhytomyr, Pereyaslav
Anatolia: Dorylaeum, Laodicia
Levant: Qarisiya, Kirkuk
Holy Land: Amman, Ma'an, Palmyra

I found a slight error in the descr_strat that might have been causing problems when Total War tried making a new campaign map. After correcting it, I've done a number of tests including a full reinstall of SS and my map mod and have yet to run into problems. Hopefully this version will work just as well for everyone else.

Installation instructions: Simply extract the Data folder to your Stainless Steel mod folder and overwrite the necessary files.


*A note on the 'new' titles: I'm not much of a computer graphics artist, so I simply recycled old images from the titles included in SS 5.1. Please don't be alarmed if you find a duplicate icon on your character as their label and functions are completely independent.

P.S. Anyone wishing to use this map in a mod or mini-mod has my permission to do so.

nice

mideast would be nice with more regions !

[Skibbles]

Looking forward to this.

[Ataegina]

but they should be for rebels, maybe a few between egypt - koj !

[Americanus Supremus]

This sounds good. Does it still include the Americas????

[Chalupaku]

Hey guys, glad to see there's some interest.

@ Ataegina:
Right now, the mid-east regions I added are located either in anatolia (Dorylaeum and Laodicia are on the byz-turk border) or directly south of it (Qarisiya is on the egypt-mongol border while Kirkuk is north of baghdad). Sorry to disappoint you . I looked for settlements along the border of KoJ and Egypt, but couldn't really find anything satisfactory.

@Americanus:
Yep, it still includes the Americas, though I didn't do anything to expand them.

[Hookah Smoking Caterpiller]

looks good, i cant wait to try it out!

[republic_bohemia]

Americas why would that be?

[Ataegina]

maybe Ammam !?

[Snoop7]

Very nice. I cant wait!

[Jihada]

This looks nice but I m sure you know Ulster is a province not a city.
Suggest Dundrum or Carrickfergus.

[Chalupaku]

@Ataegina

I'm looking more closely at Ma'an and Homs right now. Only problem is I'll have to delete some settlements to make room as I'm currently at capacity. I'll think about it some more.

@Jihada

Ulster is the province name, the settlement I have is, in fact, Carrickfergus .

[Chalupaku]

@Americanus
I thought about it, but honestly 6 provinces isnt all that much for a little late game fun. Though it would allow even more near east provinces... :hmmm:

I also wanted to keep the map as close to KK's original as possible.

[Americanus Supremus]

Actually I would like to see the Americas removed and focus more on Medieval Warfare.

[whhyy]

I'm certain you can release it now.

KK likes this kind of stuff, i'm sure.

[Ataegina]

well in my opinion america should be just north america and perhaps just cuba... but replace the aztecs maybe with apaches from kingdoms

maybe one day make a campaign under SS just in americas (apaches,england,france,spain and perhaps portugal)..

anyway, Chalupaku so you're making new regions and titles also right ? (duke of, lord of, count of .. ) ??

I think the America campaign is useless and boring,yes it can be fun,but it just does not give enough game play compare to Europe and Middle-east with North Africa.
Now India,Asia extended map would make the campaign a lot better yes.

[WRL]

sounds great, I wish Ireland had more provinces...

[HaveFallen]

HHmm, so uhh, yah, can't wait for this I think.

[aNarion.]

sounds great!
but this will end up with alot of sieges, right?
But i love it anyway!!

hope you get it confirmed soon!
