I don't believe so.

Ah thanks, I missed that. The light blue font is extremely difficult to read (at least on my screen).

[Meneth]

Light blue? It's default colored so it's actual color depends on the skin you use (for example, it's white in Blackout)

On the generic tan one it appears very light blue but it's probably an optical illusion.

Just got confirmation on the Princess Dowry script and the realistic cash levels set. I think it is going to scare the out of you all. Especially the way it works.

Basically when you offer a princess for marriage the game reads your treasury, whatever amount of money you have this is interpreted as a sign of how strong your faction is. If you are a poor faction you will have to pay more. However when recieving a princess from the AI the richer (more powerful) you are the more money you get from the AI faction in dowry. In this way you have to earn the right to get an alliance with a faction, and usually one dependent on your size and power. Small factions will come to you as 'vassals' offereing huge cash sums for the right to be allied to you.

As a consequence, diplomats are going to be nerfed so that princesses as diplomatic tools are really the only way to gain an alliance, and involving cash. This makes allinace a much more important event and something rare and hopefully lasting

I don't know much about the M2 AI, but in RTW mods the AI always seems to dig itself into a financial hole no matter the situation. How does the M2 AI handle economy?

hey, I'm an asian guy with poor access to medieval european/mediterranean history

[Tureuki]

I'm not sure about "Anadolu"

in Turkish

Rum Selçukluları or Rum Selçukileri

in Persian(Official administration language)

Seljukiyan e Rum

[sumskilz]

Seljukiyan e Rum

The problem is that the name has to be generic so that it can also represent the Ottoman transition.

EDIT: But why are we using the word "Seljuks" then? Should be Türkleri, right?

[\Vazul's Ghost/]

Thanks for posting this!

By the way, (you've almost definitely answered this somewhere before so I'm sorry for my laziness) will you incorporate yes/no events like where in Anno Domini and are in Deus lo Volt, like finding banquets etc?

[brennas]

Hross, it is not the Reconquista what that tree represents, but Repoblación (Repopulation)

[neha123]

Man you'll have outdone yourself...
Youll have not mentioned about the mods Meneth is going to add...
Also nerfing diplomats to make AI use the princesses other than that as a diplomat is a suberb mind blowing fantastic idea... Just the feel of the reading this gives me goosebumps...
But i also hope youll are not stressing yourselves put physically and mentally out for this project.. i say take your time and release it when you feel its time to release...

[Hengest]

Stress is a major problem actually. But then again Dominion is not just a game anymore

A great feature list, but I wonder something in faction list: Is Aryanam (Persia) faction represents the Great Seljuks/Khwarezmians? The word is very different.

I don't understand that either. Aryanam is from reconstructed Proto-Iranian as far as I know. I think it should be Eran or Iran if we are using a regional name.

[Resurrection]

'Word Iran is modern Persian so it cannot be used. Alternative 'Eran' is from much older times (antiquity). In Middle Ages the most common name was 'Aryanam' gaining popularity from about year 1000 AD. In any case using any Iran/Eran while historically also justifiable would cause significant confusion imho.
