That comes as a surprise, but it's a rather nice one. Have you considered getting into contant with LEVZIE, the creator of the Russian standalone submod, as regards permission to use, let's say, their new battle map settlements?

Well, happy to surprise you
As for your question, the answer is no, I won't, simply because the effort is too much compared to my limited time.

[Jurand of Cracow]

I've got an impression that the Russian other submod (Bulat Steel) had some problems with intellectual property, to put it mildly. Even the link seems to be removed from the TWC. I may be erring, of course.

That's a common problem with Russian mods ^^
I've never got asked for permission either

[Elendil 03]

Whoops. OK, that's some... interesting practices exercised over there.

[Wallachian]

Hey guys so yes the Russian mods are well known for taking material without permission (the case of Bulat Steel is quite notorious). However, in the case of the Italian Wars the mod was made by LEZVIE as a submod of the Italian Wars. I opened up the thread for that mod in the Released Mods section as I thought that it gave more visibility and more people could enjoy it (even though it is in Russian which makes it extremely hard to enjoy, i just play custom battles as the campaign is too difficult without knowing at least the cyrilic alphabet).


LEZVIE himself has posted images of the mod several times in this subforum. He basically took the Italian Wars mod and created completely new units, buildings, strat map models, battle map models etc. Everything is completely made by him and no ohter material from any other mods was used.

If you want the mod deleted from the Released Mods section and added to the submods section here than let me know and i will ask the moderators to delete that thread.

[Aneirin]

Ah I see, thank's for sorting things out!
Well, as it is a submod for Italian Wars, I'd say it should be posted here, should it not?
If you could do that, it would be really appreciated

[Wallachian]

Sure, no problems. Will post it here.

[Der Böse Wolf]

Brilliant Aneirin, just brilliant.

How do we get these new changes, is there a patch somewhere?

[Aneirin]

Cheers mate!

Currently nowhere, since I haven't released any updates.
As things stand now I am slowly progressing and adding all missing events, stuff like that.
I also had a look a the unfinished Condotta Script.

Can't tell, when something will be released, but I surely will keep you posted

[Mausolos of Caria]

Great stuff, man, keep it coming! Indeed a pleasant surprise.

Und wenn du noch irgendeine Lösung findest für den Tod des Borgia- Papstes wäre das grandios Genua ist mir letztens auch weggestorben, weil sie keine Familienmitglieder mehr hatten. Bei den Papststaaten müsste doch eigentlich auch Cesare als Fraktionsführer nachfolgen? Also irgendwie scheint der Fehler beim Erbprozess zu liegen...vielleicht findest du ja was!
Otherwise I will just need to play as the Papal States myself I guess haha

Well, a couple of weeks ago I visited Italy and got the bug again

As for your question, yes, I have altered the family tree so the next Pope would Pius.
Though it is a common problem for factions, which don't have a family tree.
Totally, you should! Stripping the Lord of Bologna and Urbino of their estates with Cesare Borgia

I am so endlessly happy to see that Aneirin is back and continuing work on this mod!!! DIK Ultimate is epic, but small things just make it unfinished...
So excited!

Best Aneirin

[Antonius]

A few questions if I may:
Currently, when your state reaches a certain size you recieve quite a harsh penalty in terms of reduced revenues...will that stay like that?
When you conquer tuscany as a foreign power, you only have acces to a small selection of local units. Will that change?
For Genoa there were some unit-cards missing... will they be added?

Thanks!!!
