#GENERAL INFO#, Old Mod Thread

[pan-boroda]

I watch the Grand Duchy of Moscow still plan to add .. Do I need any help on it?

 

[Jozef]

Wow, this looks promising! I really like the realism focus you guys seem to have

 

[SirAlbert]

First of all tell you that this mod looks amazing!

And now a history some history. In 1521, Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor, was also Charles I of Spain, the king who united the crown of Castille and Aragon and conquered Navarre, so he was the creator of Spain has it is today. The american colonies, the territories of the spanish crown (including Italy) and the territories of the HRE were all under the flag of the cross of Burgundy, it was the Spanish Empire. Charles lived in Toledo, the imperial city of Spain (streets are full of shields of the HRE), he lived his last years in the monastery of Yuste (Extremadura,Spain) and he's buried in the monastery/palace of San Lorenzo de El Escorial (Madrid,Spain), in his tomb you can read "HISPAN REX" (King of the spaniards). He was the first to say the sentence "In my kingdom the sun never sets", and he also answered to the pope when he talked him in latin "Talk me in christian". Referring to spanish by saying "christian", because for him spanish was the most beautiful and noble language on earth, and should be spoken by all the christendom.

By all this info, I'm trying to show you that Charles was way more spanish than any other thing, so I think you should quit from the mod the Kingdom of Spain and the HRE and unite their territories under the Spanish Empire name (because that is what it was).
If you don't want to quit those 2 factions, at least you should put Charles as king of Spain also, because you have put "Queen Joanna", who  is"Juana la Loca" (Joanna the Crazy),wife of Felipe I and mother of Charles I. But she never ruled. In 1509,she was secluded to a palace by her spouse Felipe, and later by his son Charles, saying that she was crazy. The true reason is that she was the legitimate ruler of Castille and Aragon, as she was the daughter of the King of Aragon and the Queen of Castille. Iberian people obviously prefered an spanish queen to a german born king, so they secluded her and said she was crazy to avoid rebellions.

Will this mod come this year

 

[YourStepDad]

Dear god, how did I find out about this just now?

Well, just leaving my comment to be able to track the thread and to say how excited I am already. The team looks big, the goal great, and the map - stunning.

Finally a renaissance mod encompassing all of Europe. A perfect choice for an era, and the year as well.

Good luck!

I finaly made an installer for the mod... so installing  the mod should be a lot easier for now. 
Our server is also online again, so we can start a new multiplayer test today.

We also got two new developers
GuiKa has joined us as programer for mostly online/multiplayer related things.
He is going to create a website and database for the planned online character creation/leveling and multiplayer campaign.
sopoDragon has joined the team as historical consultant and will help us with the endless historical researches.

I have to announce that we are going to expand the developer team from 7 members  to about 15+ members.
There is so much work what need to be done and we cant do all the work with such a small team.
We are also looking for some new testers, but I will write more details tomorrow.

Thats it 
I'm tired like hell, so I need to get some sleep.
See ya tomorrow... bye.

This is what I've been looking for! As much as I love 16th Century, the terrible spelling drove me nearly insane. In addition, there was a distinct lack of plate armors (Which, indeed is the reason why I love this era so much.), and a map that was just a bit overly ambitious. (Seeing how it covers from England to Japan). I hope to see this mod do well, and indeed look forward to playing it once it releases.

 

[pan-boroda]

If anything, it is ready to help as a tester. Also, know a bit about the modular system at adding factions, cities and fortifications.

There is a big mistake in the queen of Spain. If Charles V is the Holy Roman Emperor he should be also the Spanish King because he was son of Joanna.

We discuss this a few months ago and we agreed to add Queen Joanna as queen of Spain because you know that in warband one ruler can rule just one faction and we want to have both HRE and Spain as separate factions... so we agreed to add Charles as Emperor of HRE and Joanna as Queen of Spain...

Also great mod, i cant wait to play it

Well I'm currently thinking of changing the year, so that the Holy Roman Empire and the Spanish Empire would have different rulers.

I think 1516 would be an interresting year, because there were many wars at the same time(way more than in 1520) which included allmost all factions.
I just found out these wars... there may were some more.

1366-1526 Ottoman–Hungarian Wars(minor conquests in the west in 1516)
# Hungary
# Ottoman Empire

1493-1523 War of Anglian Succession
# Union of Kalmar, France
# Holy Roman Empire

1505-1517 Portuguese–Mamluk naval war
# Portugal
# Mamluk Sultanate, Ottoman Empire

1508-1516 War of the League of Cambrai (Italian Wars)
# Venice, France, Scotland
# Papal States, Spain, Holy Roman Empire, England

1512-1522 Fourth Muscovite–Lithuanian War
# Grand Duchy of Moscow, Orders State
# Union of Milnik, Ottoman Empire(Crimean Tatars)

1516-1517 Ottoman–Mamluk War
# Ottoman Empire
# Mamluk Sultanate

What do you guys think?

Good evening.

After a long debate we have decided to change the campaign year to 1521,
because of the following reasons.
- there were more wars in 1521

Spoiler

###1521###
1366-1526 Ottoman–Hungarian Wars
# Hungary
# Ottoman Empire

1493-1523 War of Anglian Succession
# Union of Kalmar, France
# Holy Roman Empire

1512-1522 Fourth Muscovite–Lithuanian War
# Grand Duchy of Moscow, Orders State
# Union of Milnik, Ottoman Empire(Crimean Tatars)

1519-1521 Polish–Teutonic War
# Union of Milnik
# Orders State

1521-1526 Italian War
# Spain, Holy Roman Empire, Kingdom of England, Papal States
# France, Republic of Venice

1521-1523 Swedish War of Liberation
# Sweden
# Kalmar Union

1520-1521 Revolt of the Comuneros
# Spain(Castile)
# Holy Roman Epmire

- almost all factions were involved in a war

- usage of wheellock firearms including pistols

- Queen Joanna can stay as ruler of spain because of the "Revolt of the Comuneros"

I hope you guys also like the new starting year.


We've also got a new developer.
Kaizoq has joined us as graphical designer, he is going to work on our webpage and on some textures for ingame hud elements.


Just another news...
GuiKa and I are working nonstop on the planned online character development.
We coded some nice stuff... you guys will enjoy it.

We've worked days and nights on our database, webservice, website, server and the game itself to make the online character development(leveling, developing builds, gaining gold, buying equipment) working.

I promisse you... You will love it.
It will be similar to the mod cRPG, but different.

did you add http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pargal%C4%B1_Ibrahim_Pasha on ottoman empire ? he was magnificent grand vizier

Not yet, but thanks for the info.
I will do what I can...

I really love how you focus on realism. Can we see a screenshot list of armour and weapon of the time ?

It's to early to show you the full item list, we still need to work on the factions and also on the items.
