Never played any mods before. Is it worth it? Are they hard to install? Is there a link to a step by step installation process? Will it screw stuff up?

[Scytha]

You can download the mod by click on the label Reality Mod 1.0 of the first post of this thread.

[Scytha]

A renewed version is available to download now.

Some minor changes have been added (f.e. there are no see crossings anymore).

The version number have not changed.

Reality Mod 2.0
RELEASED!

Active Rebels - Rebels weight up the power of their army and may decide to attack armies and settlements of an other faction.

Royal Mode - Factions do not vanish by losing their last settlement but by eliminating their entire royal family. After conquering their last settlement an armed insurrection will support the exiled ruler giving a white hope to return. In this case they will have no lands like nomadic people. The ruling family may try to recapture their country or may decide to wander finding a new home.

Real Medieval Mood in a Real Medieval World

[-Traiano-]

Well, just a little correction you schould do if you want to call "reality" your mod: in 1080 France didn't control the south from Marseille to Toulouse passing through Montpellier, carcassone, beziers...there was an indipendent province called "Occitania" and ruled by dualist christian nobles that didn't get any order from the king of France as well as that between 1209 and 1246 they were exterminated by "the Albigese crusade" the onli crusade against christians organized by the pope!! Then from 1250 France started to control that province.

[Scytha]

Traiano!

Thank you for the useful information. Yes, you'r right. In this era, Kingdom of France was a different structured kingdom, than the Medieval2 game can show that. If you have any other notes for the Reality Mod 2.0, I thank you that in advance.

This looks very good Scytha!

Any plans to add new factions?

I suggest Serbia, Flanders, Aragon, Kypchaks, Georgia and Armenia (Cilician).

I especially like how you have historical Rus possessions at the start!

You're not so terrible as your name shows.

There are meny good ideas in your post. Especially Cilician Armenia is my personal favourite subject at theese days. If I'll have enough resources in the future, I'll surely make most of theese renewals.

Thanks again.
