I've been working on this for the past two months, and I finally feel that I have something worth previewing as a download.
This mod is a (tentative) 4TPY, 1430-1460 mod covering the "Warring Vipers" period in my ongoing Alternate History timeline. The timeline focuses on a Visconti-Milan led "unification" of Italy, with several branches of the dynasty duking it out across the peninsula and abroad. The mod will focus specifically on those conflicts, as well as the late-medieval struggles to "create a state" against the opposition of local nobility and foreign rivals.
The current release is "Amerigo Vespucci 0.8"- the map is functional, but still in need of some basic work (mainly aesthetic tweaks, like smoothing the coastlines, adding some new rivers & terrain, new gfx for the new buildings and factions, and further descr_strat work for the initial province setup; I've also yet to add in trade goods or finalize all the strait crossings and I may or may not tweak the PSFs & watchtowers) before I gut the EDU, ModelsDB, and start scripting the new factions' units and mechanics.

Much kudos to @Gigantus for his PSF and Geomod tools, both of which were utilized in this mod.
