Deus Vult Improvement Pack - Discussion

[Mrdie]

Besides adding "Ephraïmid" as a dynasty for the ruling Alans (that way they don't have the generic "of Alania"), I've been looking into the Itil province a bit, and IMO it'd be more realistic by 1066 to have the place Jewish but the ruler a Cuman Muslim. Since any 'leader' of it is bound to be non-historical, I put in a unique dynasty, so the starting ruler is a Cuman Muslim named Masgut of Sarighsin (which was built near Itil shortly after the fall of Khazaria).

There's no glorious tiny chance of some Turkic Jews kicking behinds anymore, but I feel it's more accurate.

hi, i saw that the bopack graphics pack is recommended. does that include the event scripts from bopack ?

[Aardvark Bellay]

The events are in the DVIP Addon, but the according Events pictures are not, for whatever reason.
Therefore you (not necessary but it otherwise might look awful) need the bopack_dv_gfx.rar.

Seems to be found here:

Hmm..

Wild assumption, but since CK II is out, is Jordarkelf still around the modding scene for Paradox? or does he even work for Paradox now?

As I wouldn't mind having a DVIP for CK II

WizCK2 is this generation's DVIP imho

Still very little free time for modding. I'm working on my own mod for CK2 (not much yet, limited to a bigger Wales like in DVIP Wales, expanded Brittany, and a 4 province Sardinia) but no guarantees I'll be releasing it any time soon.

I also want to release a "final" DVIP for CK at one point since there is stuff in the current version I could improve.

If you want to change something for a final version,how about improving the situation of Friedrich of Hohenstaufen?
A few versions of DVIP ago you agreed to move him to Fürstenberg which improves his situation somewhat (because he is supposed to fight for the Duchy of Swabia once Rheinfelden rebels against the Emperor and Fürstenberg is part of Swabia which his former county was not), however I have yet to see a game in which the AI manages to have Friedrich staying loyal to the Emperor and gaining half of the duchy as in history.
Could you perhaps consider having Friedrich start as a friend of Heinrich von Franken the emperor so that when Swabia revolts Friedrich has a larger chance to stay loyal to the emperor and not his duke?
