Project Synergy - Merging SWMH2 Map & CK2+ Mechanics

[Melnerag]

I do not own, nor have I contributed in any way to either SWMH2.0 or CK2+, I am only responsible for merging both mods with the permission of their owners.

Current Version & Compatibility: Synergy1.07 , compatible with Patch 1.902

Currently merged:
SWMH 2.7
CK2+ 1.33.21

Description
Exactly what it says on the tin, this mod merges SWMH2 map with CK2+ game-mechanics. Please see the SWMH2 and the CK2+ threads for the lists of features of these two great mods.

• SWMH2 world map, cultures, religions, de jure duchies and kingdoms
• Mix of SWMH2 and CK2+ empires, with CK2+ empire-creation mechanic
• CK2+ Holy Orders and Mercenaries (SWMH special mercenary bands are kept)
• SWMH Cultural retinues, CK2+ general retinues
• CK2+ events, descisions, buildings, CBs (SWMH Imperial Reconquest is kept), faction system and balance

Compatible Mods & Compatibility Patches
Ragusa,Amalfi,Gaeta and Ancona, compatible with Synergy 1.03 (and probably 1.05)
New Borders : compatible as it is
Crackdtoothgrin's Graphical Goodies : Compatibility patch included in the main download (Run CompPatch, Steppe Faces 1 and Synergy)

Plans & Known Issues

Plans
MAY NOT BE UP TO DATE

• VIET Compatibility (worked by Delta_Green , currently gathering permissions)
• CK2+ Alternative Scenarios compatibility (worked by Yatios )

Known Issues
It means that I know of them and am working to solve them for next version

• New some cultures lack their Cultural Empires alá CK2+
• AI armies sometimes get stuck (Nobody knows why)

Using this mod in other mods
You need permission from the creators of CK2+ and SWMH2 to make this mod compatible with another mod. If you get their permission, you have mine by default.

Installation
This mod is stand-alone and does NOT require SWMH2 or CK2+ to be activated. In fact, activating them will cause a crash .

The mod has its own CK2+ Hardmode version. So use Synergy version rather than CK2+. Compatible with Gender Equality.

1. Delete the old version of the mod
2. Download the archive
3. Un-pack into //mod folder
4. Play

N.B: Not savegame compatible with S1.06

PS: Mod may give an error and C.T.D on first start, just try again 2 more times and it should work.

Reporting issues

First make sure that the issue you are having is not a SWMH or CK2+ issue (check their threads), if it is not, then post it here.

Fabulous idea good man, but lot of bugs Baltic provinces have eith thier names, and the game crashes, when i push "play" buton

 

[Zireael]

An excellent idea!

 

[Scott1964]

Interesting, but I will wait a bit before trying it out.

Checking it out. This is weird, I played for over 10 years.

 

[grzegorz444]

Great idea, I was waiting for it
Thank you for this

 

[Melnerag]

Checked the baltic provinces. PLaying them does not cause a crash. Are you sure you are not using any other mod, only this one?

(I noticed that a province in Esthonia is called 'Straits of Gibraltar', but that seems to be a localization issue rather than title-issue. I am investigating)

PS: Fixed, localization issue.

Thank you, oh holy Melnerag!!! I may name my first child after you. If I ever stop playing.

 

[Melnerag]

Atm working on giving slavic characters their Holy Order (I will let them share the either Norse or Romuva holy order, in CK2+ Wends&Pommerians were romuva after all), on the titular empires and on the pentarchy issues.

 

[Axl Madness]

Just here giving you public support on the project

 

[Melnerag]

I think I've fixed most of the localization issues and sorted out the convertion from SWMH Empires to CK2+ empires.

The mod is theoretically compatible with CK2+ 'No Assaults' and 'No Drift' and 'No Drift & No Assaults' and 'Gender Equality'. Need to test if theory is also true in practice.

ups crashes was my fault
ok, but Balts provences are really messed

Tribe - Jotvingiai (Yatavigians) - Faroya (should be Suduva)
Tribe - Jotvingiai (Yatavigians) - Malaren (should be Dainava)
Tribe - Jotvingiai (Yatavigians) - Yatvyagi (should be Trakai)

Tribe - Lietuva (Lithuania) - Vattern (Upyte)
Tribe - Lietuva (Lithuania) - Coast of taurida (Deltuva)

Latgali (Lettigalish)- Adriatic Sea (Jersika)

Eesti (Estonia) - Strait of Gobraltas (Jarva)

Novgorod - Ladoga lake (Atzele)

That's all for now, i wish you luck for fixing those nasty bugs

When running this do I need to run both SWMH and CK+ as well, or does it work as a standalone?

 

[Melnerag]

New version uploaded, it has fixed:

• Localization-issues, baltic provinces now have the correct names
• De-jure borders of Byzantium
• The Pentarchy is fixed
• CK2+ Empires added, and should work in theory. Not all have been tested.

It is standalone, will add the remark to installation

 

[NezzeOne]

Heey. Nice job. I'll check it out later, but I'm glad that someone had this idea.

 

[WolfSnakeCaffer]

Is there any reason that when using this mod all the names appear in German? England has become Engolande, HRE and Become Hellieges Romishes Riech ect.

 

[Melnerag]

I think SWMH has decided to give most countries their native name. That is why the map is populated by things as:

Heliges Römisches Reich (HRE), Basilea ton Rhomaion (Byzantium), Angolande (saxon name of England, if William wins it changes to Angléterre), Eíre etc.

PS: 50 years without crashes or obvious bugs. I think this version is pretty much stable.

 

[Raii]

Yeah, the naming system was from SWMH. It's nice for flavor every now and again, but sometimes it is a bit too much. I get confused about cultures all the time when I'm trying to marry my brats -- err children off.

 

[Melnerag]

If I ever manage to create some semblance of order in localization files and figure out what is what, and get permission from SWMH-team, I might do something about that.

In the meantime: updated for CK2+ 1.33.9 version and got myself reassured on the de-jure borders of Byzantium, HRE and Persia. Will upload later tonight or tommorow.
