399ad - wish lists

[AKronblad]

In this thread you can in your individual post write your suggestions for improvements, errors, problems, etc. with the 399AD mod. I can then see what you'd like to have introduced or changed in the mod.

Please keep it to only 1 post per person, instead editing your own post as and when you want to add, change or remove comments. Then it will be easier to get an overview of your thoughts.

I, in turn, will in the second post immediately below write what i am currently focusing upon.

(Please don't be angry or disappointed if i don't change always in accordance with your suggestions. I have limited time, and may even disagree with you. No offence then, it's just a matter of opinions,ok? ).

So please go ahead and occupy your own post!

Latest accomplishments:
Released version 0.9.9.8.4hf

Currently focusing on:
Splitting up religion slightly: Pictic to be removed (all pictic religions changed into celtic), Hinduism moved to the pictic religion_group spot, in its own group, and hinduism's spot to be taken by Theravada (buddhism), the original buddhism changing into Mahayana (buddhism), these two in its own religion_group, and confucianism and daoism forming its own separate religion_group (chinese_religion_group).


Next step:
Historical flavour events as well as generic for culture_groups, 599AD start date

Comments to suggestions below (for you to update those that I have implemented or rejected):
-

[videonfan]

Change the flag and colour of the caliphate from black to green and use the abbasid flag
Add the decision for steppe nomads to settle and become monarchy
Add the event where in the middle of the 6th century a great power gets the option to convert you
For anti-blobbing you can intergnate the admnististration system from magna mundi mod and for great power the ranking of ATAGE mod (http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/...or-Divine-Wind)
Shiite and suni should spread out of the caliphate,not just in it.

EDIT (14/4/2012) : Iconoclast religion and iconoclast event chain for orthodox countries

[Joel M Bridge]

Founding of Caringian and rise to reform the empire.

[Micro]

* Address old roman usurpers (Germania, Gallia, Britannia, Illyricum, Pannonia, Africa, Hispania) that appear as revolters after WRE has been destroyed.

* Bookmarks and history for 500, 600 and 700AD.

[Bear_Sheba]

Oops.

[keynes2.0]

-Elimination of as many wars by event as possible (usurpers, seperatists, etc.)
-Use of rebel system to model usurpers
-Commitanei changed from yearly recruitment to max recruitment cap
-WRE starts with knowledge of how to sail from Africa to Britain
-Heirs don't start longing for the purple until they're at least of age. Also you should need to actually have an heir for this event to happen.
-It's shouldn't be possible to increase autonomy without positive stability
-Remove the ERE core on southern italy. Remove the WRE core on Constantinople.
-Change the country size events into triggered modifiers.
-Create higher level forts in some locations
-Change the technology levels so that many buildings are buildable at the start
-picts should be in the same culture group as celts, if they should even be a different culture from celts in the first place.
-Malta should belong to the ERE, not the WRE. I think the culture would be greek though I don't know.
-Some sort of Black Sea trade modifier for Ethiopian or Nubian nations controlling the whole coast.
-Orthodox splinter groups not affect catholic provinces after Chalcedon.
-Macau should be merged into Guangzhou as it is small and was lightly populated until the 16th century
-Some sort of egyptian revolter in case it's occupied for rebels too long
-Make it so that roman defectors don't have island hideaways from whence they can thwart barbarian annexation even after losing their armies
-Barbarian nations wont respawn after they've transformed into kingdoms.

[XVG]

- Missions after 700 to for new European nations to conquer important areas (eg. Rome so they can be crowned by pope)
- The spread of Arab culture to North Africa if conquered by Caliphate.
- More historical flavour events
- Any possibility in redoing the flags of Alamans, Burgundians and Burgundy? The current ones are quite ugly.
- Possible extension of the timeline to 1000 AD. (yeah, I know it's a lot, but would be really nice) New cultures forming (High Germanic, Low Germanic, Italian and so on...) More time for vikings and Muslim Golden Age
- Better simulation of the Slavic and Finnic tribes in modern-day Russia... Also the Viking excursions into Rus and the forming of Kievan Rus by Viking (800s)
- Magyars

[PdoxNewbie]

some kind of decision for cultural tradition.

[videonfan]

some kind of decision for cultural tradition.

Actually,unique decisions for nations like ERE,WRE and the german kingdoms that give cultural tradition would be a great thing
For example byzantium(and constantinopolis)could have "create more iconography"

[Tao69300]

Could make a decision so that an Arian kingdom could convert to orthodoxy?
That's what happened with thz burgundians in the Vth century.
Well, I guess that your idea is good. All neighbours orthodox, or maybe most of them...
Or maybe something like requesting missionaries from roma or another great religious center to switch religion.

Easily done. Only question is under which circumstances the AI would choose to make that decision?

When all Christian neighbours are Orthodox only, and prestige is negative?

[99KingHigh]

Changing the name of Eran to the Sassanid Empire for Historical Accuracy.

[AKronblad]

Changing the name of Eran to the Sassanid Empire for Historical Accuracy.

Many thanks for suggestion but will not implement for two reasons:

1. Not more historically accurate than Eran (actually less).
2. The country will not necessarily always be ruled by the Sasan dynasty (actually sometimes overthrown in game, with subsequent attempts to regain power).

Ah, its all preference I suppose. I also and wondering why some of the Leaders start as the II King, for example, Yazdegerd, who in truth was the first of his name.

Good point about Y, will change.

[OpAphid]

As I've expressed before, I dislike the fact that the Caliphate gets so many bonuses to simulate their rapid and aggressive expansion, when in reality, they just happened to rise to their glorious days right after Persia and Byzantium had finished a twenty year long war. It's obviously not the only contributing factor, but this isn't the thread for debate over it, and I don't expect it changed.

What I would like to see, however, is a decision similar to the WRE and ERE religious decisions for most major powers, i.e Christianity, Zoroastrianism, Manicheanism for Eransahr, Catholic/Celtic for Britons, etc.

[Scocou]

Can't we just post this stuff in your other thread? Confused...

[AKronblad]

@Ophaphid: Hi there. Have responded to you in the main 399AD thread.

@Scocou: Hi. You're absolutely right. My idea of an idea thread didn't quite work out...

@Any MODERATOR: PLEASE CLOSE (AND DELETE) THIS THREAD. MANY THANKS!
