[mod] Mappa Regnorum for CK2

[Fiftypence]

Those of you that played CK1 may be aware of my mapmod Mappa Regnorum, the objective of which was to completely redesign the map, to make it more detailed in the playable areas and overall more historical.

I'm now working on a version for CK2. It's in early stages of development at the moment, and so far is really just a direct port of the CK1 version, with the areas added in CK2 (ie Arabia and Ethiopia) remaining the same as vanilla.

Some screenshots of what I've done so far. As you can see, there's still a lot to do before any kind of release will be possible.

Ah, finally !

I only just got a graphics card that can run the game, so that's why I've only just started this.

They're pretty similar to the CK1 version, no provinces in central Arabia or the Syrian desert, for the time being at least.

He's strong! He's bad! and will probably smash rivals, in his way to victory!

Finally, you're here! I can't wait to see the first playable version.

I really like ck1's version.

That is a lot of work dude. There is a few people working on mapmods (mostly region specific), maybe you can try working with some of them.

That is impressive and like Arko says a lot of work(my mapmod has already comsumed an awfull lot of my time and I have only reworked less than a quater of the map)

Luckily I have a lot of free time and a lot of patience! There are some areas I could use some assistance with, though, such as terrain, rivers, topography and such. I already have all the research for the original MR, so adding the new characters and altering the province ownership shouldn't take too long.

Im a bit curious how many extras provinces have you added?

So far...none. A few more may be added in the future, but I don't really see the need to add vast amounts of new provinces.

Well, I put in a little under 70, it was the only way I could deal with borders of de jure entities and a way to reduce the number of 2 county duchies

Is that... Nottingham above Leicester now? Please say yes!

 

[Mr. Capiatlist]

Huzzah! Shall we see a return of the Lombard culture? I love playing as those crazy Lombards.

The biggest complaint about the vanilla map I've seen going around the forums is the lack of ports/sea provinces in the caspian sea and the red sea/arabian sea/persian gulf areas.

One other thing about the map thats been bugging me is the absence of provinces running along both sides of the Nile river for parts of it's on map length.

I have seen exactly 2 posts asking about why there are no ports in those areas, none of them were complainting, just asking why there weren't any. The reason being of course, that the seas there are not connected with the other seas, which makes the game do very weird things when you make ports there.

I wouldn't call it 'the biggest issue with the vanilla map'.

Looking forward to Mappa Regnorum for CK2. Long awaited!
