Well i've started making a Welsh 'mod' (for version 1.03b). As well as making the country, i'm going to try and add Welsh events (possibly one that starts a Welsh revolution, maybe based around the Rebecca Revolutions going OTT). If anyone has any suggestions for events, i'd be happy to consider them. I might need a hand in scripting them also, as i'm not too familiar with how they work.
Here's a couple of screenies:
ATM it can be released by the UK as a satellite nation (and in turn allied with the UK), which can be slightly annoying still technically being under the English thumb. Plus they start off as a Constitutional Monarchy, and with the Liberals in charge. I think any welshmans aim would be to become a Socialist Republic, rather than live under the English Monarchy!! I thought to myself, well if the Scots and Irish can have they're own countries in the game, why not the Welsh? I mean they've got it worse, seeing as they're a principality and not a kingdom (unlike Scotland and England). So, being of unsound mind (i'm English after all) I gave the Welsh independence I'm trying to get the country to be socialist minded after being released from the UK atm, but they're sticking with being Conservative... I'm expecting an event is definately going to be needed Perhaps along the line of Netherlands vs Belgium in 1836.
Wales replaces the U00 tag, its culture is British (didn't get round to making a Welsh culture (which I think is needed along with a Scottish one) and religion Protestant. It basically comprimises the state of Wales, and I put a few claims on West England (Chester, Shrewsbury and Bristol) just for fun
I started a new unitname list for them (in Welsh I might add), this is how it looks so far:
INFANTRY - Mythical Names
U00;0;'Y Ddraig Goch' Division - 'The Red Dragon'
U00;0;'Seintia Dafydd' Division - 'Saint David'
U00;0;'Brenin Arddhir' Division - 'King Arthur'
U00;0;'Penddraig' Division - 'Head Dragon' or 'Head of the Dragon'
U00;0;'Cadwaladr' Division - An Ancient Celtic King
CAVALRY - Fancy Horsemen Names
U00;1;'Eryri Farchogion' Division - 'Snowdonian Riders' (after the Mountain)
U00;1;'Y Ddraig Goch Frachogion' Division - 'Red Dragon Riders'
MAN-'O'-WAR - Welsh Heroes
U00;9;Cadwaladr
U00;9;Glyndwr
U00;9;Gruffydd
U00;9;Iorwerth
FRIGATES - Welsh Cities/Counties
U00;11;Caerdydd
U00;11;Aberystwyth
U00;11;Abertawe
U00;11;Caerffili
U00;11;Sir y Fflint
U00;11;Castellnedd Port Talbot
U00;11;Pen-y-bont ar Ogwr
U00;11;Powys
If anyone has any suggestions for names/corrections (they have to be in Welsh really, it shouldn't be too hard to find an online translator if your unable to do it yourself), preferably for later units too, such as battleships/cruisers/destroyers etc etc. I leaderfile would be good, if any of you know some high-ranking welsh soldiers in the Viccy period?
So, if anyones really interested i'll carry on doing work for it. Maybe one day the Welsh can take New South Wales and a few other colonies and make its own empire free of the shackles of Imperial England, or make an uber-celtic nation by 'joining' with Ireland and Scotland!!(ah, theres an idea for a next mod) (which is bad ) Of course, it won't be easy.
Any questions/suggestions?
