[Submod idea]Italian City States

[Mr Kriegtooth]

Please move this if this isnt the right place for a submod idea

What I think would be neat is a campaign based around the Italian City States and others in the area. Im just giving my frame work ideas, but it would feature as factions, Milan, Genoa, Venice, the Kingdom of Sicily and Naples(not sure the timeframe, I'll let the historical research guys do this instead of me hahaha!), the Papal States(Fully Playable), the Knights of Malta(Maybe? Not sure if the city states were stiill a fighting at that time). Maybe have Southern Germany and France represented on the map so the HRE and France would be playable. There could be invasions by the Turks and Spain

Also, there could be conderatti(SP, but im sure you know what I mean, the mercenaries) armies on the field that you could hire(instead of the standard way of hiring armies). The city states would rely on these more. Not sure if thats a bad idea or what though, since it could lead to the player having too much power, or factions getting stomped too quick.

The only problem I see with this campaign is that besides Sicily, Venice, HRE, France, and Malta, the factions would have samey units, and thats no fun

Anyway, hope to see if someone thinks my idea isnt total insanity If you get it going, I'll try to help, but I am pretty useless XD

I believe there was an Italian campaign in the RR/RC compilation but it wasn't finished (possibly).

There are couple of mods in development that concentrate on Italy.

I meant just submods, I imagine its easier to make a submod for Stainless Steel than to make a full blown mod? As I said, I know nothing

Except I copied the Connacht Kingdom from non-playable to playable in IB2 Britanniae, that makes me a hardcore modder, right?

Well I knew nothing about modding when I started modding

Changed the title.

I think best chance for you would be to pick up the Italian campaign in the RR/RC compilation, if only to get your bearing around modding. Securing the original creators permissions before the release would however be vital.

Im on Dial Up, would it even be possible for me to be a decent modder? I'd give it a try, but I'd wanna try something simple at first like what one guy did for The Last Kingdom(added the Ui Niell Kingdom to the game, just some code and some new graphics).

I just wanted to throw this idea out there. If I start ta moddin, I think I'll make somekinda Celtic Twilight mod going Bring back Ireland and Wales, completely redone with Scotland. Wales would probably get insta-killed, but I'd only have them in the Early Era Campaign
