[TOOL] Crusader Kings 2 Alternate History and Random Map Generator

[Ezumiyr]

- The whole world except south and east India belongs to one of three culture groups: Tabaddelim, Daiyadelim, and 'Barbarian'.

- Perhaps because of this homogeneity, almost everything - kingdoms, baronies, cultures, religions, etc. - ends with '-delim'. I'm guessing this is a highly productive suffix in the generated language (if the language generator works like that), but it looks pretty odd - it's so common that it seems redundant, like adding a meaningless sound to the end of every word in English.

I noticed that if you wait more time during the generation it tends to generate more different cultures. Also, it depends on what you set under "culture".

Found a Kingdom of Suparman in Lithuania. What are the odds

But this is awesome. It works fine now. You should team up with someone who can make a random map generator.

I left it running for 20 minutes and nothing seemed to happen after the first fifty seconds or so. I've not tweaked cultural stability - is 1 high or low?

"exception error...blablabla"

Thanks - sadly this isn't quite as clear information on the exception as I could use

To make it clear, I don't get ANY exceptions this end, and exception are there to provide the programmer with info on where the exception happens, so if you do, I have no way of fixing it without the contents of the exception on this thread

Some great feedback here on other stuff, thanks guys. But yeah, if you get an exception please expand it and print it here and I can likely fix the problem that causes it.

So here it is (I translated a bit for you ).

[yemmlie101]

Thank you! Doing some big changes based on your feedback everyone thanks!

If anyone has any idea why I can't get nomads to work, further a way I can force any given place into a given government, it'd be massively appreciated and would allow me to do a lot more government modding! I've got cultures set to horde=true with a tribal holding and they still just tribal, I got recommended putting historical_nomad in the title however this doesn't appear anywhere in the source files and flags up an error when I do.

 

[richvh]

To get nomads to work, the capital must be a tribal holding in history/provinces, and you have to put historical_nomad in title history.

 

[BrightHelix]

Do people ever spread to island provinces or do they always remain empty?

OH the title history. Derp. Thank you! I misunderstood and put it into landed_titles! <3

If they are classed as adjacent in the game (troops can walk between them) I'm working on better code for handling islands but at the moment they will stay blank otherwise. I hard coded a link between British Isles and France.

 

[Quinpilix]

Very, very interesting. Will definitely fool around with this when it's in a more stable state.

 

[Anton2181]

You should contact the creator of Victoria 2 Random World Generator and ask him for the random religion icons. Also being able to choose the seed would be cool

Also, can you open source this?

That would probably be because one of `DevIL.dll` or `DevIL.NET2.dll` isn't in the same folder as the application.

 

[Alvis14]

Hey ! I gave it a shot but it seems the "Export" function doesn't work for me (something like "An error occured, to you want to skip it and continue or quit ?")
I'll check my .NET version but i think this is not the problem...
Sorrry I don't have more details...

I had an error like that when i changed the name of the mod.

 

[Vintage Zombie]

Same! It created the folder, but not the .mod file.

 

[fezzer]

Hi! This tool looks amazing! But whenever I attempt to 'export' no files or folders are created, the only thing that happens is that a new map is generated. This is when I keep the mod name the same. If I try and change the mod name, I get a similar pop-up and exception as above

 

[yemmlie101]

Do people ever spread to island provinces or do they always remain empty?

hi fezzer! What is the path of your CK2 mod folder?

 

[Anonymous01]

It works very well. Only problems in my game are

1. Too few ethnicities. The one from the East African empire always predominates. If I run it a long time, I get more. Always too few Africans though, and too many of whoever the East African empire group turns out to be.

2. I like the fact that heresies are wildly different from parent religions. But the hard block against matrilineal marriages is too pervasive.

3. No (or too few?) claims at game start and too little availability of aggressive casius bellis, so things are very dead at the beginning.

4. Way too many tribals.

Wonderful work though. Thank you very much for sharing this with us.

 

[Pirisinian]

2. I like the fact that heresies are wildly different from parent religions. But the hard block against matrilineal marriages is too pervasive.

Especially since many rulers at the start are female and end up marrying somone with a completely different culture and religion.
