    Default Idea for mod about Renaissance Italy!

    Wouldn't it be cool if we had a mod about Italy during renaissance times? I am just jotting things down and stuff, like the factions and units, but I have no coding, mapping etc. skills, unfortunately.
    Here is a list of possible Italian and non-Italian factions and some units in the other posts.

    Faction List: Italian
    Venice
    Milan
    Genoa
    Florence
    Duchy of Ferrara
    Papal States
    Kingdom of Naples
    Savoy
    Republic of Siena
    Rep. of Lucca
    San Marino
    Duchy of Modena
    Rep. of Ragusa
    Bishopric of Trent
    Montferrant
    Saluzzo

    Faction: Non-Italian
    Hungary
    Holy Roman Empire
    Ottoman Empire
    Austria
    France
    Switzerland
    Aragonese Empire (in control of Sicily and Sardinia)

    I want to try to add all the different currencies the different states had like the Venetian lira and the Milanese scudo, I think I can do it.

    This will be the 'Guard of the Council' unit for San Marino and a few others. It is lik the generals body guard.


    Here is the Swiss Guard which will be available to the Swiss and as mercenaries to the other factions.

    Okay, I have come up with an official group of factions. (I can add more if you want to suggest some) Some factions made the cut, some didn't.

    Factions-Italian

    Venice
    Milan
    Genoa
    Florence
    Siena
    Ferrara
    Papal States
    Kingdom of Naples
    Savoy
    Lucca
    Modena
    Ragusa (Ottoman satellite)
    Bishopric of Trento
    Montferrant

    Factions-Non-Italian
    Hungary
    Swiss
    France
    Spain (Aragonese)
    Ottoman Empire
    HRE (emerging)
    Austria
    Tunis

    Factions cut

    San Marino
    Saluzzo
    Benevento
    Sicily (basically a Spanish possesion with no real independence)

    This will most likely be the map, maybe extended. I and making one that shows factions instead of the modern day borders but you get the point http://www.abcteach.com/maps/italy.htm

    Take a look at Machiavello. Such a mod already exists.


    "If ye love wealth greater than liberty,
    the tranquility of servitude greater than
    the animating contest for freedom, go
    home from us in peace. We seek not
    your counsel, nor your arms. Crouch
    down and lick the hand that feeds you,
    and may posterity forget that ye were
    our countrymen."
    -Samuel Adams

    It's hard to rival a mod when you don't have any coding, mapping, etc. skills :hmmm:

    There's probably twenty more mod propositions than there are active modders above novice level on average, and a mod takes more like 20 members for a large project, if you except some like Lusted or Halie or Caius who are one man modding machines. That results in hundreds of ideas falling far short of resources to support them.

    Your best bet unless you intend to undertake this mod on your own with little help wherever it is later offered, is to see if you can join up with a mod that has a similar focus, learn some valuable modding skills, and then use that mod as a platform for an extension mod (like seen with RTR PE, RTR MNM, RTR Imperator, RTR Extended Realism, etc., numerous stainless steel mods...), which covers the area you seek to address. Then you'd have information and units for some of the factions, and would just have to trim it down, do map work, and make some additions to new factions.

    Good luck either way.

    Cheers,
    Augustus
