Mod: Treaty of Verdun


Tired of play the same mods, in the same time frame with europe always looking the same? Love history, want to play in europe 300 years prior to the vanilla starting date where pagans actually stand a chance? Then this is the mod for you! Treaty of Verdun covers the range of 844 - 880ad and add's 4 new bookmarks to start at during the time frame. ToV also keeps gameplay changes to a minimum allowing ToV to be compatibly with other mod's like CK2+.



Start Date: 844 AD.
The mod starts in 844 AD after the treaty of Verdun has divided Europe among the 3 grandsons of Charlemagne. France, Italy and HRE are completed currently. England is ablaze with civil strife, Mercia is fighting Wessex for domination in England. The Kingdom of Asturias is struggling to hold of the Islamic nation of Al-Andalus, while the East Roman Empire is slowly sinking in the shadow of the rising Abbasid Caliphate that controls all of the middle east. The Norsemen of the north are attacking the coast in hordes, striking fear in the heart of civilized men. All this while the European nations fight amongst themselves they are slowly being surrounded on all fronts, the muslims in the south west, south and east. Along with the Norsemen of the north. Will the Kings of Europe put aside their petty differences to defeat the hordes surrounding them or will they defeat themselves?

New Features:
New religions.
New kingdoms.
New cultures.
Earlier start date.
Multiple new bookmark starting dates.
Expanded major family dynasties hundreds of years with holdings.
Over 150 new historical character spanning 100 years.


Current Goals:
Add new dynasties allowing counties, duchies and kingdoms to playable. In progress..
Redesign duchies in Europe to be more historically accurate. N/A



Characters: 1.000.058.000 - 1.000.060.999
Dynasties: 1.000.019.000 - 1.000.019.999

Bugs:
Some title shields do not display.

Not Bugs:
Rebels do not appear in CK2+, they are a province modifier. (See CK2+ for further details. )

Update 8: Middle East progress:
I was doing some work in the localization folder removing the old .csv files from the demo and adding new .csv files that only contained the new/modified stuff. But for some reason it wont rename byzantines or the sunnni caliphate even tho its in the .csv file so idk. :/

Still a lot to do, but its progress!! You can see the outlines of the different kingdoms, I went ahead and gave a random person each kingdom title and their liege is the sunni caliphate. I figured this would make a succession crisis/revolt rather interesting. ;)

Update 17: New Frankish Dynasties
Update 18: New Italian Dynasties
Update 19: New Dynasties in v1.4

Gameplay Ex:
Gameplay 1: Carolingian Civil war/Wessex Civil War
After the death of his two Brothers Ludwig II plots with his nephew, Lothair I's son Louis II of Italy, to depose Louis II of France of his kingdom. After the Disastrous defeats of the French Army at Vermandois and Amiens Ludwig and Louis Armies march unopposed on Paris. I didn't get a screenshot, but in England Wessex rose up and defeated Mercia enabling them to create the Kingdom of England. About 10 years passed with Wessex dominating England until Finally the king dies. When this happens the Duke of Gloucester somehow usurps the title of King of England and gets the entire Wessex and Mercian family to back him. The new King of Wessex is betrayed by literally, his entire family! So now he is left with only the Duchy of Kent, Duchy of Bedford, County of Oxford and Winchester.

So. Awesome.

carolingian-9.jpg

Gameplay 2: Succession Crisis:
Started as the house of Wessex and conquered England but it took a bloody civil war to do it. It took about 40 years of fighting Norway, Scotland and revolts from Lancaster/Mercia to finally bring peace to England. The price for peace was heavy tho, as my current rulers father died in battle fighting the heathen norse pagan invasions. In the picture The emperor of Francia/king of Italy died and his soon took over. Ensued followed a massive civil war against his rule.

Gameplay 2: Kingdom of Aquitaine AAR

How you can help: I can't possible know or research every historical figure from the 840's era. So if there is anyone you want added just make a post here with the historical person's info. Name, birth, death, their family and the name of the dynasty they belong to. Requests are also welcomed. :)

This is a great idea! I would love to play a mod representing a less "Christian" Crusader Kings! At this time, just a small portion of Europe was christian. Sound like a great project! I'm a really bad moder and I don't have a lot of time, but I maybe could help to play with the norse\viking stuff. I was planning myself to work a mini-mod giving some more flavor to the norse religion and contries (just a few in vanilla).
 
Still haven't really decided on a date, any preferences?

843 treaty of Verdun will absolutely be the best start date for this one.

on the scenario in itself it will be hard to survive to pagans from everywhere. but a nice challenge.
 
I have already done some work on the history files to better reflect the treaty of Verdun and the treaties of Prüm, Meerschen and Ribbemont that followed it. You can download it here. It contains both a history mod and the Lotharingia mod. You are free to use one of them, or combine them, or simply ignore them :-D
 
Hmmm...
East Francia should be represented by the kingdom of Germany. It actually was Lothair, Louis' eldest son who got the imperial title.

To be more historically accurate, it should look like this:


West-Francia: Kingdom of France
Middle Francia: Kingdoms of Lotharingia, Burgundy and Italy
East Francia: Kingdom of Germany

Of course you could change the names in the history files
 
There is no need for additional Danish kingdoms for the period. Denmark was one kingdom. Sweden could perhaps be split up between Goths and Swedes, Norway is also one kingdom IIRC.
 
Update:

Finished:
(France)West Francia: King Charles II
(HRE)East Francia: King Ludwig II
(Italy)Middle Francia: King Lothair I
I have the duchies set up and playable in england but I still need to create the kingdom of Wessex.
Denmark
Norway
Scotland.

To do:
Spain will be next.
Still have work to do with Byzantine, this shouldn't take to long either.
The middle east will require a decent amount of research into leaders, etc. This area might take a while.
Still have a lot of work to do in Eastern Europe, I think I might do this last and this could take the most effort.

Making progress! :)
 
I like it! Did you settle on a date yet? Granted my knowledge of the early and dark ages is sketchy at the best

agreed. Also, I think middle francia should get a bigger share of rhineland.

I agree with it.
 
Middle Francia should also get Lower Lorraine and the Imperial Title. Germany should get only a Kingdom title.

You should also add Burgundy, Italy, Lotharingia and France to the de jure hre and maybe remove Bohemia.
