The AoI is a new mod in progress, which goal is to be playable from 1337 to around 1900. It presently consists (more will be included later) of two scenarios: 1419 and 1816. The 1337 is currently being researched.

In the mod I will include countries, events, monarchs, leaders and graphics from the Age of Nationalism project as well as some Dutch events from the Alternative Grand Campaign (I have been granted permission from both). My mod started as a "Light AoN" (as to the thread in the AoN forum), but evolved to become much more as I soon realized that I wanted to do an improved 1419 scenario as well.

Although most of my mod and one of the scenarios is currently concentrated on the AoN stuff (hence the title, Age of Imperialism), it won't be exactly like it for several reasons. One of them is, that there are not enough free country tags for all of the countries - another reason is, that I have modified most of the stuff I have used from AoN. I have also added my own events as well as modified some of Paradox's.

I am almost done with the 1419 and 1816 scenarios, so a beta will *soon* (hopefully) be released. I have a couple of guys helping me with researching for the 1337 scenario, and I am also aiming to include the 1492, 1600, 1700, 1773 and 1795 scenarios - and maybe even a mid 16th century scenario and an American Civil War scenario, but that's way into the future...:D

Aranha, would it be possible for you to dig up some history for the Italian minors? I really think they deserve more events.
The countries I had in mind:

Savoy, Genoa, Venice, Lombardia, Mantua, Florence/Tuscany, Siena, Naples, Sicily, Sardinia, Papal States, Bologna, Modena

You don't have to find info on all of them, but if you stumble across anything interesting about either of these, please let me know.
 
If do you need any infos and/or events for the kingdom of Aragón in the period 1337-1419 I'll gladly help you. For now I'd like to point out that in 1337 you'd need another country: the kingdom of Mallorca, independent from 1276 to 1343 and which included the EU2 provinces of Baleares and Roussillon. Moreover, in 1337 the relations between the kingdom of Aragon and the kingdom of Mallorca were very, very bad.

Feel free to ask any doubt !! :)

I could always use help, so any ideas, events, info and such would be welcome! So if you have some good events for Aragon (or any other country), I would like to see them.

I am aware of Mallorca and the fact that they held Roussillon (I don't have any clue to how they got it though:rolleyes: ). I was thinking, that since you have already been extremely helpful by making the excellent Ancona and Confederate graphics for me, maybe you could do a set of Mallorca graphics as well?:D

Btw, do you know the history of Mallorca? Did Aragon inherit or conquer?
 
A brief historic note: After the conquest of the Balearic Islands, the king of Aragon, Jaume I formed a new kingdom in 1262 with the newly conquered lands and some other old territories (the lands were the Balearic islands + Rosselló (Roussillon in french) + Montpellier). After his death in 1276 this kingdom was given to his second son, who became Jaume II of Mallorca. From this year on the kingdom was absolutely independent. But the elder son of Jaume I, Pere II, king of Aragón, didn't accept the new kingdom created by his father, so the relations became very problematic. The problems between the two kingdoms went on (Mallorca helped the french against Aragón during a war, for example). In 1343 the king of Aragón Pere III confiscated the lands of the kingdom of Mallorca with the pretext of the unfulfilment of some vassallatic duties by the king of Mallorca Jaume III. The kingdom of Mallorca could rise no opposition (because it had been weakened by a previous war with Aragón) so it became part of Aragón again. Nevertheless the exiled Jaume III sold Montpellier to the king of France in exchange of money and military aid. The war was brief: Jaume III was defeated by Pere III at Llucmajor (Mallorca) in 1349.


For the shields for Mallorca, don't worry, I had already done them. You can use any of these:

mallorca_1.gif
mallorca_2.gif


Both are attested in contemporary sources, but I don't know which is more correct heraldically, so... use the one you like the most ;) For the flag you can use

flag_mallorca.gif


To download the sets, just go to my page (see my sig). BTW, if you don't have already a list of monarchs for the kingdom of Mallorca, I could compile one (although only one will be a historical monarch :D ).

For the events on Aragon, you can see my set of Aragonese events (they are also in the last versions of the EEP) but they begin in 1419 (not very surprisingly ;) ) and some of them are not in english. If you want I can compile some previous events for Aragón, as well as the kingdom of Mallorca.

That would be great. I'll also have a look at your Aragon events. The list of Mallorca monarchs would be welcome as well, as I have no monarchs or leaders for any countries yet.

Do you know a lot about Spanish history? If so, could you tell me the why and when Spain moved the capital to Madrid? I asked in another thread, but got different answers - so I don't know which one is correct.

P.S. I think I'll go with the shield to the right. I like it better, it's more distinguished from the Aragonese shield, and it fits the flag.:)

EDIT: looked at your Aragon events, but it's a bit hard for me to understand the spanish ones... actually, my spanish is limited to "Si Señorita" and similar phrases!:rolleyes:

In 1561 Felipe moved the court to Madrid, although between 1600 and 1606 the capital was moved to Valladolid, returning to Madrid after 1606.

The fun thing is that they are not in spanish, but in catalan :D :D Nevertheless, the more important events are those written in english (because they were originally written for the EEP), so you can forget the non-english ones ;)

Yes but why did he move it? I need to know that if I am to script an event about it!;)

Off course, I knew that...:rolleyes:
 
This whole thing will be one continuous scenario from 1337-1900? It seems to me that there are not enough tags to properly represent everything in this period.

But, if you are set on doing this project I will offer advice from time to time.

Italian minors? :confused: . Well, I'll see what I can do... just have to search from where to start ;)

Maybe mfigueras could help with Naples, once he seems to be an "Aragon" specialist (and maybe Sicily and Sardinia)... :D

I also could help with (of course) Portugal. Specially before 1419 and after 1819 and other Portuguese related countries...

And also with Granada (and the moors in Iberia).

Did you knew that Lisbon was an option?

Things could have been diferent... but that's another story... :cool:
 
I was thinking this research I'm doing and realized it's gonna take some time and hard work. So I started to wonder that maybe someone has done the job already. As there is no point in doing it again, I decided to ask if someone could provide us info about those monarchs and leaders from 1337 to 1419... ;)

There are not at all enough tags. But I as to the post 1820 period, I have concentrated on Europe and America - thereby leaving out a bunch of African and Asian countries, which I don't find that important anyway. The game is, after all, called EUROPA Universalis...;) I have, however, already used up all free tags. So for any new countries in the 1337-1419 period (like Mallorca), I'll need to remove some natives who shouldn't be in the game anyway (after my opinion) like Dakota and Xhosa.

Thanx, any advice and/or help is welcome.

The scenario sounds promising. Should you require your own subforms to assist you in your development please consider register at my forums http://www.languish.org/forums/index.php and i would be happy to help you ala' the mongolian scenario or the E & E team (name to change soon).
Click to expand...

Thanx for the offer, but I don't think that would be necessary at current time. I will keep it in mind though.

Bakito: The page you found look nice. I'm looking forward to see what this leads to.

Aranha: If you are a pro on Portugal and the rest of the Iberian peninsula, that's great. :D Please do some events on them then. The reason why I asked about Italy is, that I really think they could need some more events - they barely have any at current time.

Btw, as soon as I have finished the 1816 scenario, I'll release it as beta. Then you could - if you want to - see what exactly you are contributing to as well as help me test it for bugs and ID-conflicts (I think there might be some monarch/leader conflicts).

No pro, but I'll manage it...;)

I'll be proud to help you testing the beta, and search for conflicts. :cool:

Forgot to say it earlier, but feel free to use my website to your project, if you want to :)

No problem ;) I could help you with some events and monarchs (both historical and fictitious) for Aragón and related countries (Mallorca, Sicily, Sardinia, ...). And of course, if you need some more shields & flags, feel free to ask.
