Old World Map - (Arabia Universalis)

[Emperor_krk]

The nations of Armenia, Tao, Tabarestan and Gilan have been added. I think the possible wars being fought in this region will be many and cool! We have the Bagratids, Mamikonians, Umayyads, Byzantines, Emirs of Armenia, Emirs of Azerbaijan and Khazars all fighting each other or some allying.

The small states on the Caspian coast are doomed for destruction though. Unless the Caliphate breaks up soon. Bagratids were, as far as I know, allied to the Byzantines most of the time, with the latter willing to keep the former more or less as a buffer state.

Nah they will not be primary targets the Caliphate is surrounded by enemies on all fronts.

The Bagratids were also allies of the Caliph in periods. They helped fighting the emirs in the region.

436 - Khoy
456 - Arran
467 - Shirvan
470 - Layzan

447, 467 and 470 all need to have changed borders.

Okay so I just read a lot about Armenia and Georgia and now I came up with this as the best setup.

Okay so I am working on the monarchs once again.
Because the sources are few we have to make random stats for most monarchs in this mod. And I have just made a program which will do this for us.
It makes the job a lot easier.

Here is an example of the syntax:

KAL;Kakheti;monarchs.kal;6501;2;
Stephanus II(685-736)
Mihr I(736-741)

The first line is divided into 5 areas.

The first is the nation's tag.
The second is the nation's name.
The third is the output file name.
The fourth is the starting ID assigned.
The fifth is the number of monarchs in the list.

The next lines are monarchs. These have to be written with a name and the ruling years in parenthesis.
Name(x-y)

Two things:
1. The little program you provide doesn't work for me; when I click on the .exe it says that it is incorrectly configured and that reinstalling may solve the problem.
2. A monarchs/leaders/goods generator has already been made, see this thread . Though that's a 'random' generator.

 

[cool-toxic]

Well do you have netframe 3.5 ?

No it generates random monarchs with no historical reign.. Mine does..

Nope. This must be the problem.

Aye, you're right. Yours is much more desired, then .

I just finished the lists for Armenia and then ran the program. Now those monarchs we do have some info about we can just edit their stats. But this is Armenia atm:

We have the Emirate of Armenia in the beginning and they will run all the game if nothing happens.
But we will add events in order to make it the Armenian Kingdom of Armenia around 878. When this happen we have the two dynasties of Mamikonian and Bagratid. They all monarchs that cover the whole period. So events will be made where the nation can switch dynasty. Even in ahistorical times.

Saxony needs a new shield etc.

The black horse was supposedly used by duke Widukind until he was forced to convert to christianity in 875. After that a white horse was used by him to show the change. Thats only a legend because no one knows what kind of shields and flags the saxons had used to this time.

http://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php...ises_Herford.svg&filetimestamp=20080831234807


The standard EU2 Saxony shield appeared primal in the 12th. century and the white horse of todays Lower Saxony was not used before the second half of the 13th. century but it was a powerful and wide spread symbol in the saxon society.

I think the black horse should be used until 875 and then should be the switch to the white horse.


Btw: the map looks weird and foreign at the first sight. :wacko:

 

[cool-toxic]

Thanks chefkoch.

I'll make the graphic for Saxony now, is the background red? And only three shields have been included in the mod IIRC. So Saxony is just one of the many.

Heh yes the map might be a bit weird at first, but you get used to it quickly it's just because it's not your normal map.

 

[chefkoch]

Thanks chefkoch.

Yes, black horse with white background and white horse with red background.

 

[Emperor_krk]

BTW, Alex, what was the final statement about monarch/leader names/agnomina? I.e., the language of those? Will those be in English or the native language of the monarch/leader (e.g. John VI Cantacuzenus or Ioannes VI Kantakouzenos, that is)?
If I were to have any influence on the decision (if that has been made already, I'd go for the latter, so Greek names for Greeks, Armenian for Armenians etc.

 

[cool-toxic]

Hmm we never made any decision IIRC. But I've used English spellings for their names. The problem is should we use Armenian or Georgian names for the different monarchs in this area for instance? I think making it English makes the identify of monarchs easier.

 

[Emperor_krk]

Well, each tribe can be easily identified as Georgian or Armenian - I believe the sources are rather clear on the origin of each dynasty, are they not? Therefore, the naming can be in the original language (of course, transposed to Latin alphabet), be it Armenian, Greek, Arabic, Turkic or Georgian.

TBH, the 'anglicization' (polonization, germanization) of names is one of the most horrible things that can happen anywhere, and it happens all too often. And we end up with the Poles not knowing what Dresden, Mainz, or Thessalonike are, because the stupid Polish tradition has named them, respectively, Drezno, Moguncja, and Saloniki. Just on a side note.
Original naming ftw.

 

[cool-toxic]

No most dynasties are actually very hard to find the ethnicity of. For instance Bagratids or Bagratunids. One Armenian and another Georgian or that means they ruled these nations, but should they gain Georgian culture when they move to Georgia? If these are the same dynasty which is disputed.

But seeing that we used English names for Provinces for better identification I think it goes for monarchs as well. For instance as you say the rest of us do not know who we talk about if you use the Polish names for monarchs. But using their English name makes it easier to translate to their respective languages and/or search for these monarchs if wanted.

 

[Emperor_krk]

I see. Well, anyway, it's your mod and it's up to you to do whatever you want with it, I'll sure be playing it anyway .

Gosh. Sorry to bugger you once more about that part of Europe, but I've been looking a bit more at the area of Pomerania in AU, both on the maps you show here and in the game itself. And I have an issue here: the province is too big, in the sense that it contains too much land it should not contain.
1. It's eastern border should be moved to the west, so that Pomerelia become larger (the 10th-12th-century principalities there contained much land to the west of the current border)
2. The southern part of the province should be either given to another province called Neumark (I am well aware that it didn't develop until about 13th century; but the problem here is that Pomerania is far too large; also, if one wanted to make a later medieval mod here, Neumark would be necessary);
3. or the three provinces to the south should be enlarged (Gniezno by just a bit, Poznan the most, and Lebus Land by a little to the north of Noteć river - it did contain that land as well, and therefore was so strategically important).

Everything can be seen on the pic below. The 1st proposal is in purple, 2nd - in red, and 3rd - in green. Number 1 should be combined with either 2 or 3, if you indeed implement any of them.

 

[cool-toxic]

Hmm. But all the maps from this period shows border that fit the current map.

http://www.maproom.org/00/46/present.php?m=0037

 

[Emperor_krk]

The map you provide doesn't seem to care about the fact that after the reign of Mieszko I, Wielkopolska (Gniezno and Poznan provs) reached further north than just the Noteć river. And it did, on all maps that I've seen that show the period after the 10th century. The final conquest of those lands (that is, to the line about 100km north of Noteć, plus the vassalization of Pomerania proper, came between 1107 and 1120.

The lands occupied by the Polans first were indeed south of Noteć, so the current Poznan and Gniezno provinces show them well. But I think adding a Neumark province could show for two things: the Polish ownership of the area between about 970 and 1020, and the final conquest of it in early 12th century. And then, of course, the loss of these lands to the Germans during the later part of the feudal division of Poland.

 

[cool-toxic]

Well this is the last 30 years we speak about, and we can't add more provinces in this area.

But would be easier to under stand if you provided some of these maps.
