DLV Fan Contributions and Suggestions thread

[Xtiaan72]

I think it would be awesome if Harry's Unique Kings mod and isilendil's Mod pack were added to the official mod. They add so much.

Cheers..and great work guys.

[LatexiTW]

Are you going to add Native American princesses to DLV Americas? And how about including career choice in DLV Americas?

[de bengel]

Please tell me that there will be a DLV Crusades mod.
There are now DLV mods for Brittania, Americas and Teutonic, but not for my favorite, the crusades.

[Marcus of Sweden]

I got to point out one thing that some of you have already mentioned. One is that norway have a rebel coat of arms and the other thing is that their general bodygards have really nicelooking skinns but the horses are the same as in vanilla. It would look a lot better if you changed the horses too, if that would be fixed i would say that norway have the most goodlooking skinns, no doubt about that

Thanks for a great mod

[repman]

[Odie the King]

Oh.. didnt know there was a province limit... kinda thought there was a catch 22... figures...

[GreyWindSage]

maybe add a "loved by nobles" trait that gives authority boost & allows kings to more easliy avoid civil wars

[Juba1]

hello,

really great mod, maybe the best in my taste...(will see after BC 1.1)

juste a suggestion :
- remove the America (9 provinces) and Aztec (1 faction ?)
no-historical and no-sens to have 3 huge provinces for all north america, when my navy loose a battle they run like for a 1month travel...

like that we can have 9 more provinces in Europe and 1more faction ??? (not sure bcs aztec not playable)

- make Mongols like in Broken Crescent, unplayable but Horde invasion scripted

[Dahr]

-Create warsaw or masiovia province (ther is a big place with no town it's realy sad )
-reskin polish hussars (they are heavy cavalery with heavy armor with wings (late era unit) )
- give polish guardians raitar's gun with 2 shots
-reskin polish infantry
-give some knight's with axe ,chainmail and shield to poland in early era
- kick out "druzina" from polish army .. they are most weak cavalery in poland and in hight lvl of stable... ? LOL?
- create 2 (late era) polish szlacha with saber , red cloths and puckler (or not) , also with gun (2-3 shots)
-kick out america
- give other country new chainmail like in tuteonic order (itrs realistic)
- create scandynawia
- ou and the best one please rapair hotseat.. when computer atack me its autobattle

It's realy great mod anyway thx for your work.
Bestwishes Dahr

Well here are some suggestions
- Remake Historical Battles (But also add new ones like : Battle of Seminara, Battle of Fornovo, Battle of Patay)
- New skins
- Add Norway or Sweden or Georgia
- Remove America from the map

[hekk]

- Add Norway or Sweden or Georgia

Uhh... Norway and Georgia are already in.

And if you mean about adding it to the DLV 4, well the developers aren't supporting it any longer and my advice is to get Kingdoms because its pretty really worth it.

I searched this so I hope it havent already been discussed.

Why not add the Arch bishop ancillary for priests who are already Bishops, if they're Bishop in the right city and have been for a sufficient time?

Edit: Also, playing as the Papal states the Pope starts out with really bad (!) stats compared to other rulers. Couldnt he be given two ancillaries similar to the others? My vague suggestions would be:

Monarch of the Papal States (Picture: The Papal States CoA, flag or something here)

Papal Tiara (Picture: <What it says pretty much, hopefully as authentic as possible)

That would give just a bit better stats in chivalry, authority and a bit of command?

[Apollo1988]

this may have been suggested but in 5.3 when a field fort is built it stays on the map and looks like a castle, currently on the battle map its a little standed woody fort, how about it turning into one of the mini forts that are seen on the kingdoms campaigns? or maybe have the option to pay to have it upgraded over time?

I love the idea of two levels of forts wooden or permanent depending on what you are willing to spend....

@rhodazz:
wouldn't it be better if it was just called the "pope hat",

also, maybe change papal standing to say "pope points"(i usually have 0-2)

Maybe, but having consistent titles gives a more professional look imo. Also, there's the Tiara I mentioned and then there's the more civil and big hat (dont know if it has a different name or any at all). The current Benedict only uses the civil one because in the world we live in the Church's real territorial power and influence on head's of states are gone, but they still have the influence on normal more or less religious people, civil people.

E-Another suggestion, but probably more work than its worth (and has probably been discussed already). What about having the max age set to 95 or something? Yes, people did die awfully soon but there are some good examples of the wealthier class living over 80 years, and afaik the current max is 71 or something? Of course, it'd be even harder to get to those ages than it is already with 71 but just for the realism of there being a possibility, though very very very rare. Its not like everyone in the medieval ages who turned 72 just died instantly because they got that old, and didnt have a threatening disease already.

And then going in detail, lone princesses would have way more chance of getting old than an active Admiral, spy etc. Just to give an example.

i've not read the whole thread but i'm wondering if the total amount of retinues is hardcoded and/or there is a possibility to take different pictures for different retinues of the same class ( like drillmaster, mercenary captain, quartermaster and so on)
i'm also thinking about the possibility of having bastard children (in form of retinue or trait, possibly a counting one), which could be adopted later on. ( don't know if its possible with the name interfering, e.g. [last] name same as the father/adopter ) or spawn as rebels if not adopted/and the king dies perhaps

probably impossible to do, too, is to rearrange the family tree with, like adding birth date and death date, and/or born names (full family name) to the last earned one (XXXX the chivalrous etc)

getting access to the ai familytree is also out of reach, right? :p

adding traits like
General :"brother in arms/likes the xy " after fights with an allied nation against an opponnent of both countries (?)
King: "peaceful" after severel years of not going to war with ai countries (except rebels) or not fighting at all (if triggerable)
King :"mariner" if ships discover/fight a certain area/amount of battles => giving increase sea range or vision or reduced ship production costs


has the authority/dread/chiv a directly effect at the "diplomatic" skill of a general ( when a foreign diplomat negotiates with my own country)?
if not, are there other ways than the powerranking and alliances/relation standings changing to change the outcome ? [ i.e. "charismatic" => improves demeanour of the opposing diplomat]

Good ideas there, this reminds me... why isnt it possible to have inbred Children directly in DLV (this means, also marrying a princess directly to someone in relation)? If you run a non adoption policy (like me), you might need it eventually, even though the chances are and should be they will be too stupid to rule. But then at least you can marry them to an outsider and hope they dont have stupid kids.

[ivanhoex]

hello

i already shot an idea about a building that allows to change tech era


why dont you make some school that upgrades your governors?

this way, if they stay in "school" for X years, they pass to next governor status
