a French Renaisaince mod ~changed name now,"Les guerres du Pays" wars of the country" waterfalls & monasteries on the map now! also new campaign character monastic monk preview!

[Druvatar De Bodemloze]

ok basically this is a mod about Renaissance France
almost everything will be new!
the map is much smaller (in physical dimensions not amount of regions persay )than in my other mods but it
probably the most accurate in terms of settlement details, location and ownership as well as the topography of
mountains, rivers, and other natural features (like lakes and Swamps) I am almost done laying all the settlements (it will be about 150 I think)
but here is the basic heights map and a map detailing the factions and their locales ( I still need to decide on a name LoL)

[Druvatar De Bodemloze]

ok, I`ve drawn the map regions as well as all major geographical features as well as done campaign ui work! Also I`ve come up with a name "les Pays Va` Rouge`" (from French "the country runs red) here are some screens

[lodewijk]

love the map!

there will be new unit?

[Druvatar De Bodemloze]

love the map!

there will be new unit?

thank you, maybe there will be a new unit or two if someone who has unit making skills wants to help, but on my own, I do intend in any event to port several units from the "kingdoms:crusades: for everyone (all factions) for the Templars and hospitllers (also I am removing all other guilds so you will get these exculively in all settlements) I may also port in a unit or two strictly for "Das Heligs Romish riech" from the teotonic faction in the "kingdoms: Teotonic campaign" ok here are faction symbols and some menus (this is all preliminary work and is subject to alot of change~)

[Druvatar De Bodemloze]

re-did those symbols , the first ones were good but too complex, and I finalyzed the menus (except for some final touches I have in mind)
here!


:edit: also their is unique new music, for battle, campaign, loading and main menu, I will do a preview video after some more content is accrued!

the beginnings of the Campaign ui/graphics

[Druvatar De Bodemloze]

two load screens, the splash, and had to remove the black from the campaign ui (it interfered with the text) also I changed the radar map too to not conflict with seeing the empires

[Druvatar De Bodemloze]

i`ve been play testing this alot lately, and it is not a very large map (much smaller than the maps in my other mods) but the mod itself is very well done in otherways and the map is small but very well done, this is probably the most exciting and all-around "fun" mod I`ve done, all that is really left is units and unit cards and some text but other than that is a complete mod.

Well, I'll be damned...
How did you achieve the blue effect for the water?

[Druvatar De Bodemloze]

I am working on a new settlement type: " monasteries: which you do not start with but they will have defenders and you can capture them, also they will have their own building tree apart from castles and cities but they cannot expand larger than a village ( but their population will not be limited)

[Druvatar De Bodemloze]

ok, I am done with "aesthetics" of the new settlement type of "Monasteries" (cloisters)
there will be three in England, two in Spain, two in Germany, five in France, and one in italy
they will not be able to upgrade even though there will be no limit to the population size
significant because it will be the only place (settlements) you can build mines and they will have a
unique new building tree with at least twenty new buildings (many of which will be religious)

[Ashton]

Awesome work there bro!!

[Druvatar De Bodemloze]

I re-worked monasteries a bit & how they work!
they are the only settlements with mines (huge pay offs too!)
you can build & recruit all castle buildings and units in them plus you can recruit from any holy order ( of course if it is one your faction is eligible for) also there will be some buildings that can only be built in them

having control of one or more greatly effects if you win of course! essential for a winning strategy~
four in Germany
five in France
two in England
two in Iberia
one in Italy
total fourteen~

Well I must say, I love small maps for campaigns and really detailed, interesting countryside, so I tip my hat to you sir also the new 'monastery' feature sounds great! +rep

So which century does the mod start in?

My only criticisms would be that the textures look a bit rough on the edges (river banks and mountains), the menus look like they could use a bit of polish, and perhaps the rivers are a bit generous in width?

Another thing that would be cool - "Wars of the Country" translates to "Les Guerres du Pays"

do not judge the mod on those screenshots that have what you think needs remedying ( most of that has been addressed) those screens are of initial rough work, I will do a preview video when everything is more advanced but thank you! and start date is 1300 A.D. end 1650 A.D.and thank you for the text update, "Wars of the Country" translates to "Les Guerres du Pays" that will be changed

[Druvatar De Bodemloze]

some updated screenshots of the map
also there will be lots of events (denoting culture & regional differences throughout France, not simple boring ones like "Duke Preppy Le puke` Seizes control of Toulouse but ones which examine the particular social customs and way of life in a region ) and lots of y/n events too! (particularly regarding monasteries)

[Arandir Tur-Anion de Bodemloze]

I love the idea. but the name in french is quite strange. I would say : "Les guerres du pays"

no problem bro' I am changing the name too" Les Guerres du pays" just haven't updateded the thread yet

[Druvatar De Bodemloze]

ok, here are the buildings i`ve done strictly for monasteries, they will have mines and roads but I am debating whether or not monasteries will have full capacity castle building (also I forgot to put this in game text but at the religious order recruitment center you can recruit any religious military Templar, Santiago etc,) and in the next couple a days I may add a few more on like a "herbalists workshop"
