National Revolutions 1821-1848

[Sotericus]

Keep up the good work! +rep

If you make Germany I think I can make a mission for capturing some regions (e.g. prussians or french) and then the small german factions join Germany as a reward. Or we can make them joining Germany one by one without mission but in certain turns.

Wow, that would be perfect . Thanks, a lot Husserl. It would be really nice to have a 'German Unification Campaign'. I'll PM you this days in order to arrange the implementation.

Cheers.

I had tried also one year ago for Finland and CTD. So I had proceeded using an existing language and change the on screen names (second column of the _loc). But I think it is time to try again for a final solution. Make the lists for male, female (just a few for queens and princesses), first name, surname and send them in a PM. I'll make it either way.

[Sotericus]

Thanks a lot, Husserl. I'll send you the lists this week. Once, again, .

[mircea]

Rosiori look great, i would rep you if I could

By the way you should modify the first post, in order to advertise the latest news and advancements.

P.S. Thanks for aid Husserl

Excellent work on the "Rosiori" unit. With limited resources you still manage to create a unit quite accurat historically. So what is the timeline of the mod? Just 1821 - 1848? Because there's a few good mods out there that have 19th century units, maybe you can get some Prussians, French etc. units.

Great work, Mircea . It is precisely what I was thinking about - I really appreciate the captains and generals section - brilliant!. I might add a few more myself from a list I made ages ago for Victoria and I'll send the list to Husserl.

Cheers,

Thank you, Wallachian for your appreciation. To some extent this was the idea - to get the most of the nappy without interfering too much. This is also about my limited modding skills . As it's a first major mod I would prefer staying on the safe grounds the game has to offer. However, as I'd like implementing some very "local" units, I might take a look into other mods, especially those for Empire (some greek units in Ornamentum, or the Hungarian Hussars in Empire might be interesting. Anyways, we'll see...

Cheers, and keep close.

Just have in mind that there is no way to distinguish which name will be for what group (generals, gents, rakes, etc.) except the royal names.

You're absolutely right. Neither the names will be accurate, as the game will generate them randomly, I guess. But still it will be more fun to have them.

I was underlying mircea's contribution with respect to the captains' / generals' names as they are quite difficult to find. Indeed one needs to have some real historical insights into this period of Romanian history as it was the very beginnings of the Wallachian army - 1831/1832. Before this time the military forces of the principality consisted only in princes' guard and some local militias for policing. There were also some rebel groups and/or Romanian volunteers in Russian army who would serve in the wars against the Ottomans - and mircea manged to get some of their names. As the information is quite scarce and confusing, finding the names of this captains may be challenging.

I'll finish the list these days and hopefully it will work

A big thanks for your help.

Cheers,

S.

this looks fantastic! i am very excited to play it... how does one edit the units stats? should we use the pfm to edit the .pak files in the new mod folder?

Thank you for your interest. Hopefully it will be done in short time (at least a beta version ...). As for the editing, take a look here. http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=347507. It is a very useful tutorial.

Very awesome units, can't wait to test them!!!!! You could ask pickelhauben to give you his hat (aia nemteasca cu tugui, cum e in poza dorobantilor) for more accuracy, too.

Have you finished the map, also?

Hi, RO Citizen and thank you for your comments. I could try asking pickelhauben for the hat, though I think this type of helmet was used starting with 1866 after Charles' accession to the throne and one of the various reforms of the military. But I might try . The first version of startpos for the beta is done for about 3 months and it works. I might want to change some things, but I think it will be for another release.

I would very much want to focus on an AOR right now in order to balance the game and to make it more realistic and fun, so if all of you guys out there have any ideas, please post what you would like to see and where.My intention is to make the campaign quite challenging in order to limit the expansion for at least first five years in the campaign.

[Wallachian]

This mod is looking better and better!

By looking at your pictures i can see that the units have the Romanian flag. But at the start of the game there was only Wallachia and Moldova as separate states. Is it possible to make a script to unify the states and change the flags and the name of the faction? Same questions goes for German and Italian unification.

The flag issue for Wallachia is quite controversial. I gave it quite a thought. First I thought of changing the flag with the Wallachian one before 1830 or the Flag of the Uprising (see the 4th and 5th flags on the page http://flagspot.net/flags/ro-wall.html). Let alone the fact that it's quite painstaking changing a flag (you have to rescale, to change the entries in startpos and prepare for some initial crashes , before getting things right), except the site mentioned above I didn't find any reliable source with a good quality picture of one of the flags I wanted. Then, I thought that the vanilla flag resembles a lot to the first flag of the 1848 revolution (http://flagspot.net/flags/ro-wal48.html) and it's worth keeping it. However the question is quite interesting if you think what ensign would Vladimirescu use as a national flag if the revolution won? It would be an interesting discussion topic. However, for the next release we might try to have the original flag of the uprising.

[husserlTW]

Unfortunately not.

[Sotericus]

Hi guys,

Just a quick note before uploading some new pictures. It's a pity we cannot do such an event as to unite Ro.
However, I managed to add Romanian names (gave to Wallachia in faction tables the pirates names and then I modified in localisation. loc the pirates names. It will be pretty weird, as I might have mismatched some family names with forenames, otherwise it seems cool . I really want to add a intro movie to the campaign, but last time I tried it didn't work. Do you have any ideas how to do it? Thanks, and keep close

Cheers,

S.
