The Lion Of Flanders - Flanders Faction Mod

[DeZzErX]

I have not tested it yet, but I reccomend playing Deus Lo Vult mod. It includes the Flanders mod and adds allot of features to the game etc. And It definatly works with 1.2

I played DLV, and When I did, I took Flanders

The problem with DLW is that the map ask too mutch for my computer (and my computer is a big machine...) and all moves on the map are slowed down when I ask fast moves, witch is not verry fair

I regret they has changed the guard of german zweihander sword carried by zweihander and Gothic knights by a "V" guard like claymores have.

A "T" guard is historicaly correct, why change ?

So my opinion is mitiged about this mod. Verry good presentation, anoncing verry accurate historical stuff (with beautyfulls splashscreen and wallpaper), but the map is verry slow and some unnecessary non-historical changes.

Looks very welcome this mod - anyone got it working with 1.2 vanilla? Thanks.

[Orkunion]

Also when i click around the flag 1000 times tryed no luck... plz help me i want to play your mod!

That's happening to me to
could somebody explain this

[Taxandrius]

say, I've got a little question. I'm busy at a mod focusing on the Low Countries and I wondered if you're interessed in working together with my ( VERY SMALL ! ) team to give Flanders just that bit it would need. If not, could I use some of yer units ( after downloading your mod ofcourse )?


Tax,

Vlaenderen den Leeuw !

[DeZzErX]

I would, but I have very little time because of work, real life and modding for WOTN. But feel free to use my units. They do need some work though. If you have some questions you can always PM me and I'll help you if I can.

Vriendelijke groeten!

Vlaanderend de Leeuw!

i downloaded it into the mtw2 folader, then i exstracted it into the folder and now i have a folder called, flandersfaction1, i open that and the .bats in there, when i double click it, it pops up for a split second then dissapears. how do i make it work?

i'm having the same sort of problem. I double click the the flandersfaction MS-DOS batch File and it starts for a half a second then disappears!

[Condilla]

I have a problem, in I play with flanders, i can't convert towns to castles and vica versa, but with the other factions i can. Any help on that??

Hey DeZzErX,

Do you still visit these forums?

I really liked your Flemish faction mod, I played it a few times in Deus Lo Vult. But I still think it can be improved. I am a little bit of a 2D artist (I spent a lot of time in arts academy) and I'd like to help you.

It would be very nice if we could give the militia and infantry units you created some colours and emblems that were used by the Bruges, Gand and Ypres guilds back then. If you want, I'll upload some designs this weekend.

I would like it very much to help you with the historical research if you want to. I read a few things about the Flanders and the low countries in the medieval era (and I am from Flanders myself), so I think my knowledge would be very useful. (to give a small example, it would be nice to rename the flemish pikeman to 'Flemish Geldon infantry' as the long spear that the flemish used in those days was called).

Taxandrius,

If you are still around. I would like to give you a hand with your mod idea. It is an idea I've also been thinking about a lot. The low countries were in a very interesting situation during the Middle Ages. Situated on the border between the Holy Roman Empire and France. Also, there was a lot (by a lot I mean more than in other regions) intermarriage between the Noble families, what made that regions switched rulers and sides all the time. It made also that the low countries had a very very independent and progressive culture in comparison with some other parts of western Europe.

If you still want to make that mod, marriage politics and the allegiance with either the French king or the German Emperor would be very interesting things to work on. It would also make the mod more unique in comparison with other mods concentrated on specific small areas of europe.

I read that the 'Das Heilige Römische Reich' mod replaced the pope election system with a German Emperor election system. That would be an interesting system to use to represent the allegiances to either the king of France or the German Emperor in the low countries.

It would also be interesting to have the possibility to unify the low countries, like the Duchy of Burgundy did in reality. You could give a specific title to the faction leader that accomplishes this, something like 'Grand Duke of the West'

Contact me, if you guys are still into this. Perhaps we can talk in Flemis/Dutch then, it would be much easier for me than in English.

Though my medieval 2 is V1.3, I still gave it a try. Everything works fine, except for the fighting part, I can't play them in the custom battles and when I try to take over Bruges in the grand campaign I get an error every time I should get the battle screen where you can choose for auto-battle or to play the battle yourself. The siege screen works perfect, havn't encounterd any other problems, just the battles. It's probably due to the v1.3, but I would appreciate any other help from the more experienced people out here. (first mod )

(never mind, after some searching and clicks in the dark, I'm now taking over the world under the flemish banner )
