Bari in 1066

[EU3NOOB]

Shouldn't the Byzantines have ownership of the Bari province in the 1066 start date? They lost it in 1071.


They should also be at war with the Normans as well.

I raised this a few months ago and theKing had this to say:

...we've actually been aware of the faultyness of our Southern Italian setup for a LONG time. But due to our own in-ability of creating a setup that would cause Southern Italy to fall more often than not, we've sacrificed Byzantine Southern Italy in 1066 because it gave the area a more historically accurate development once you pressed play.

But as a part of the timeline extension work, where i push the startdate back to 1043, we will try to come up with mechanics in collaboration with the EMF guys that will simulate the Norman military muscles in Southern Italy enough to make them a serious threat to the Byzzies no matter when you start from. So i will also change the setup between 1066 and 1071 to better reflect history

So the south Italian Byzantine situation will be more true to history in the pending release. Any day now!

In a pending release, just to be clear. There will be at least 2 HIP releases before the italy+1043+other overhaul work is ready (a final release for 2.5 w/ plenty to chew upon while the compatch is cooking and the initial 2.6 compatch release).

Yeah, thanks for breaking the radio silence on that Ziji. I don't think any of us have given people an update on how things are progressing since we merged the two overhauls
