[MOD] SWMH 2.0 Map, de jure and general history mod. For a superior CK2 experience

[Arko]

pretty well, buts that not down to my own work
I have made a rework of Normandy, and most of Valois, Brittany, Flanders, and Orleans.
I think I will split the rework up in two, making first the north and then the south in the version after. There is also an Italian culture split in the works for the first update, and its really time consuming



Yes, but lets get France finished first. After France it will probably be either Spain or Galich-Volhyn. Im leaning more towards begging with the later atm, since Galich-Volhyn looks pig ugly right now

allright, if you need some help or advice you know where to ask^^

you will have a courious and bewilderd squirrel asking your advice as soon as I get out from under this gigantic pile of Italian characters(380 dynasties! Je suis un écureuil désespérée )

Lol. no one forced you hehe^^
I'm curious to see what your vision will be. Keep in mind that France was, until the most recent patches considered a bit (or a lot) overpowered.

 

[pirro]

I have some maps with the muslim administrative division, the taifas division and the important cities of the IX century to tohe XV century if you need them

 

[Penguindragon]

I know you're really busy with France, Galicia-Volhynia and then Spain, but is there any chance in the future of adding in the Persian Gulf, Red Sea etc.? I've been told it's possible, but I'm not much good with maps, and play with SWMH exclusively anyway xD

yes please , im not particular well versed in the muslim divisions so I would be really gratefull for thoes maps.

At some point yes(we are talking more/redrawn provinces, and not about expanding the projection right?) but I don't know when it will be, I think we will focus on getting the west patched up and then move eastwards so that the edited areas are linked up(I haven't asked Il Moro about this, so I don't know if he has a special interest in medival Persia, and hece want to edit the area).

and play with SWMH exclusively anyway xD

Im glad you like the mod

I think the north needs a bit of extra muscle compared to the south, lets see how misbalanced things turn out

 

[Penguindragon]

Right, I meant redrawing the mare incognitum that's already in the map to be sea provinces, with a canal in Egypt/Sinai to avoid the game going buggy (and represent something similar to the Pharaoh's Canal). Glad to hear it's slated for the future - by all means take your time and focus on patching up the areas that really need work first.

New version has been uploaded(version 2.42)

- Adds 10 new provinces in Moldova, Wallachia and Hungary. Special thanks to Exin for his help with Moldova.
- Adds lake Fehõr to Hungary.
- Redraws and sorts out barrony setup for Moldova, Wallachia and Hungary(A lot of the changes in Hungary is not somthing you will notice ingame, I have now removed 95% of ardipadian ages so that the barronies, provinces and counties is streamlineed in the files(before it was a maze of cross localisations)
- Adds 7 new cultures to CK2 Geatic, Sardinian, Moravian, Carintihan, Estonian, Livionian and Somali
- Adds the cultures and religions from P&T(thoes that requires meltingpot events is also in the files but, will not show up ingame(Im planning on making a little seperate meltingpot event module that can be run alongside SWMH, if people want it))
- Localises many more Cultures, kingdoms and duchies in the appropiate language. If anybody spots a mistake, then please shout about it.
- Relocalises a big chunk of the Itallian barronies(so that thoes that still wasn't displayed in regional dialect, is displayed in dialect now) a very sepcial thanks to Il Moro, who has done all the work.
- Adds Darrigans changes to the Lowlands(I hope I got it right).
- Fixes a mixed bag of bugs

New version has been uploaded(version 2.43)- First(official) team edition

- New France, based on Arko's Westernkingdoms(the biggest possible thanks to Arko for letting us use his work(and for helping a confuesd Dane make sense of medival France))
- I have only personally reworked the North of France for this version, the south and the central France will be reworked in the next version.
- 24 new provinces(13 from Westernkingdoms and 11 additional)
- the Italian culture have now got its own culture group and is split in:

Langobardo
Sardu
Corsu
Veneto
Toscano
Ligure
Arpitan
Padan
Mediano
Meridionale
Neapolitano
Sicilianu

It took 20+ hours to sort out the characters but there might still be a few without dynasty that should have changed their culture, if you spot one please shout about it.
- the Guidi(whole male line added) is now in the game as counts of their county
- fixes a couple of bugs(dauphine and Limburg duchies being a one way ticket to africa being one of them)
- more culture specifik title localisaitions
- relocalises the last of the Italian barronies in their correct regional dialect
- + alot more

Why not include the North Africa mod that looks really cool and covers a big part of the map you haven't done yet?

I have asked and gotten permission from Korbah to include his mod, but it will probably only be the parts of Egypt, Nubia and Abyssiana. Im not a big fan of a lot going on in and south of Sahara in this game, so Im not looking to up the amount of provinces there to a big degree(but they will get redrawn someway or the other). For the Sahara and below im leaning more towards asking Arko if I may use his setup(but I better finish up the Fance I stole from him first)

yesterday I started working on a little secret surprise for the next update, if(invovles a lot of topolegy modding and I hate working with that) it works you will be probably be pleased

Nubia region needs Korbah's improvements. For western (I just redrawn it, nothing added) and central Sahara, my setup should fit better with your envision it seems.

I think you made the west look perfect I don't feel that it makes much sense to add a lot of extra stuff to the area.
may I borrow your setup?(sorry, I should have asked before beginning a discussion in the thread:blush

only in counter part of the revelation of you secret topological addition^(in PM)

deal! hehe you were going to get a preveiw anyway the topolegy is only a biproduct though

Impressive as always, I do have a small remark, why is Berry an ecclesiastic duchy? IIRC Berry was one of the traditional appanages of the French monarchy and not an duke-archbishopric? There were some bishops with a ducal rank, so duke-bishops, like Langres and Laon though. Another thing regarding the French duchies is that relatively older duchies like Bourbon (Touraine wasn't added) were removed, but a relatively younger duchy of Alençon is added; nothing which can't be altered by some modding though, but just happen to notice this.

Furthermore I still find the it odd to have German separate from the other Western Germanic Cultures; but maybe that's, because Dutch is right in the middle between English and German. Or to put it differently, it would like splitting the Scandinavian Culture group in two groups, to me that doesn't feel right.

OTOH I must admit, that I won't be playing version 2.43 very much, since I have a great campaign in the 2.41 version (with BGA (& AdLimina), Patrum Scuta and of course a few of my personal tweaks, like much fewer empires and fewer kingdoms in both the HRE and ERE), so that will have to wait until I finish that campaign (though by that time there might be a different version).

 

[Monnikje]

Topology changes? Cool . And if you're at it anyway, I hope you then make the topology changes for the Netherlands I proposed a while back .

I haven't researched the south or central throughly yet, so I can't give you an inteligent answer on thoes parts now. The parts thats "finished" is Flanders, Artois, Normandy, Alencon, Brittany(mostly finished) and Valois(might still reorganise the duchy a bit).

Alencon was the only viable option I could find to reduce Normandy in size(it was getting BIG)

Or to put it differently, it would like splitting the Scandinavian Culture group in two groups, to me that doesn't feel right.

I would like to have the dutch in with the germans(the problem is what then to do with the Frisians?), on the same note its the plan to split the germans into 5 in one of the next versions(probably not one of the next two, it was very tough to sort out the italian charcters so I can't really muster the strenght for the germans right now)

don't worry it will be done
