Any mod that adds Bulgaria? Preferably if Norway is the one getting replaced.

Hi, just started playing 6.4 and really enjoying it. Had one game already on H/M with England, found it a bit easy so trying it on VH/VH. On about turn 50 (I play 2TPY) and its going well for me but not for the rest of Christendom. The Moors are knocking on my door in Northern France, they're at Angers already, they have wiped out Portugal, Leon and Aragon and they have huge stacks all over France and pushing into Northern Italy. The Fatimids have taken out the Crusaders all but pushed the Sicilians off Northern Africa. The Kwerazis (sic) have begin their inevitable match West and look set to conquer all of Eastern Europe again. Last time they pretty much had all the East right up to my border in Germany. At the current rate in about 25 turns all the Western European factions will gone or clinging on and I will be pressed just to defend Great Britain while The Kwerazis and The Fatimids roll up all the Eastern/Southern European factions.

I've seen the mod that slows expansion but it also adds too many regions too France and Germany in my opinion. Is there anything that just slows the AI's expansion while still making it tough for me too? I just don't want there to be 8 factions or something left by turn 100 of a 900 turn game. I love a challenge and like the idea of a really long slog of a campaign but at the minute it just seems too easy for some AI controlled factions. Cheers!

woops, i accidently added that in, its already added in SS, so no need to worry about it

historical buildings mod, SH's Map Submod, and soon to be released the stainless steel historical characters project

[The Source]

i think that the byzantines are already focused and expanded upon enough in 6.4, since the mod does kinda focus on it with unique traits and that

a serbia sub mod is currently in devolpment and is progressing quite fast, it should be on the first or 2nd page of the submod thread

ok thank u

[John Oak]

Anybody knows about some mod that reduce the "random factor" on faction attacks ?

You know.. It is really annoying watch Castille and Portugal give up their fight with the Moors while they invade (god's knows why) England and Walles.

Not to mention the Scots at Belgium and Genoa at the whole world..

It seems that Soulson enhanced AI mod can correct this "problem", but i don't know if it is compatible with SS 6.4 (BGR and RR) and Meneth sub-mods..

Thanks in advance !

I bet it is!
But you could make this changes by yourself => data/sm_factions.txt ( I never remember the exact files´ names but you will find it easily.. look for "sm" and "factions" )

This file has an entry for every faction called "prefers naval invasions". Change that to "no" and they will start wars on land instead of sailing somewhere!

The second file is "data/campaignai.db" ( or something like that... if sorted alphabetically it is one of the first ones... can be found easily too ).
This is a bit more complicated but very logical! Above every entry there is an explanation what it does!

PS: Scotland going to belgium and genoa having colonies is historically accurate... that is why "they" did implement it... I think.

Well, thanks A LOT ! I don't feel very confortable "tweeking" like that, but it does look more simple than i expect ! I'll try.

About the Scots at Belgium, i never heard of that.. Although i'm Brazilian.. So it's natural that some minor events of european history (no offense, Scottish folks, really !) pass uncommented. But yes, i've heard of Genoese's "colonies" at Caffa and even at Sudan, but it's weird when they conquer half France and half Holy Roman Empire lol; but still a minor problem.

Is there a sub mod that has a start date around 1340? I want to fight the 100 years war but don't want to wait for 200 turns to get there.

[Loke-Shah]

How about Additionl Units for The Teutonic Order? I think they need some additional heavy infantry units. for example Chivalric brother knights Attachment 197436 in teutons texture of course . I could do it on my own but my modelling and texturing knowledge its still far from perfect

[dogukan]

IS there like a late period campaign? 15th century?

[Ferdiad]

Not yet, theres a 1390 mod in dev though.

[Steamloller]

Is there any mod centered about family and diplomacy management?

I am thinking about a mod where you don't have to:
- hunt for a suitable princess with your diplomat so you get your heir properly married
- travel half world with your princess to marry her with your favorite general
- suffer your old, ugly and stupid princesses while AI gets the superb ones
- suffer stupid, incompetent and insane heirs to the throne cos' the game says so

But rather you are possibly able to:
- check up other faction's family trees
- get info about new princes availability
- arrange marriages that have lasting impact on relations ("would ya assault yer grandpa?")
- get princesses ranked on basis of their importance and capabilities
- do a little bit eugenics to rise superhuman heirs to your throne
- dominate the world's politics through intrigue rather than relying on brute force only

I wouldn't even dream of something like:
- creating dependencies (vassal principalities)
- installing your family members as leaders of defeated factions (vassal)

I don't like the economy but I like the RPG.

[Ferdiad]

Not possible.

[Steamloller]

All of it? Hard coded stuff? Damn

[Ferdiad]

Go play CK if you want a in dpt family management game where Inbreeding is fun and the bastards always plot agaisnt you!

[The Source]

are there any submods that add in more in depth and accurate family trees?
