Before I start on this Mod i need to ask a few questions from experienced modders, I think that AoC2 has a lot of potential, do any of you forsee whether any of the following problems will be unworkable in the game?

I was always a big fan of a few board games that are crying out to be resurrected on the PC, these being Kingmaker, Empires of the Middle Ages and Blood Royale.

So here is the outline....

1 - Instead of Immortal rulers (which seems to be the case in the game) why not just use the ruling families name instead in other words Wittelsbach instead of Maximillian II etc... no more immortal leader, merely a continuation of the ruling house? 

2 - The colouring of regions, instead of the generic racial definitions why not mark areas that 'could' be united and players could dominate them (by achieving superiority in those regions) to form real countries (for example by owning all of the key areas in Britain you 'could' create the Kingdoms of England (or Scotland in the north / wales in the west etc) or even 'ahistorical potential kingdoms (like making a Burgundian kingdom with elements of France, Germany and the low countries).

3 - Taking into account points 1 & 2 the player states could be named after the ruling family or indeed the local areas they hold... so in effect England, at game start could be called (possibly bad examples) Northumbria under the Percy House, Lancaster (Plantagenets), York (also the Plantagenets, albeit a rival branch of the family) etc etc...

4 - Events - Dynastic unions, Leader dies heirless, famines, revolts, civil wars,etc etc

5 - Key areas could be placed that, upon capture grant new titles to the owner (all players could start as Counts, having taken say 3 or so areas become Dukes, and all of the key areas in a region King etc). So no more Monarchies, rather something else which it based n a real feudal pyramid of power.... Count, Duke, King, Emperor etc etc.

4 - For non christian (or competing types of christians, orthodox etc etc)areas the same could be applied using appropriate titles specific to those areas.

Of course in history many families owned lands in more than one region (kingdom) which would allow them to develop power bases across the globe (well Europe and the Middle east at least)

I'm reasonably certain that  the system will allow this, I just need confirmation.

Related questions

Is there an upper limit to the number of states allowed?

Can the current flags be replaced with a shield icon? (not a deal breaker)

Lastly, can you add any suggestions please?

Also can anyone explain to me how the Holy Roman empire in the 1440 scenario works because I havent figured it out yet lol.

 

Thanks for reading

The limit of civilisations is determined by the number of provinces the map has. If you are meaning the top limit of creable countroes... well i don't know but if there is one you can do the dinasties the way political forms are made.

I don't know what exactly the holy roman empire does but if you maake a scenario after saving you can define its extension.

      Campaign: Small Scenarios

      Łukasz Jakowski posted a topic in Ideas,

      In this topic, share your ideas for Campaign scenarios.

      These scenarios focus on a small part of the map, with the rest designated as wasteland.

       

      For example, a scenario of the Reconquista in 1054, where gameplay takes place only on the Iberian Peninsula.

      What are your ideas for small historical scenarios?

      Hi,
      in this topic, I am interested in your ideas for events that can happen for every Civilization in the game.
      I'm also interested in Missions for every Civilization.

      Here is some example, have more than 10k army, have more than 5000 gold, build 10 buildings, recruit an Advisor, increase tax efficiency 20 times, be largest  producer of some resource in the world, unlock 5 Civilization legacies etc.

      Land units - Ideas AoH3

      Łukasz Jakowski posted a topic in Ideas,

      AoH3 will have different types of land units.

      In this topic we will write ideas for new land units. 

       

      So the AoH 3 will have new battle system.


      Representation of the battlefield in the game.


      Land units will be grouped into 3 types. Each unit will have a different recruitment cost, attack, defense, movement speed and upkeep.

      Groups determine the placement of units on the battlefield.


       

      Each unit can be unlocked by researching technology and then upgraded.

       

      Here is the current list of units with upgrades:

      First line:

      Warrior -> Light Footmen -> Heavy Infantry -> Infantry -> Line Infantry -> Modern Infantry

      Hoplites -> Spearmen -> Pikeman -> Elite Pikeman -> Musketeer -> Riflemen -> Mechanized Infantry -> Modern Mechanized Infantry

      First line side:

      Horseman -> Elite Horseman -> Cavalry -> Tank -> Modern Tank

      Second line:

      Archer -> Bowmen -> Crossbowman -> Elite Crossbowman

      Canon -> Field Cannon -> Artillery -> Modern Artillery

      Early Airplane -> Airplane -> Modern Airplane

       

      This is a very early version, so maybe something should be changed?

      Or maybe an idea for a new type of unit with upgrades? I'm waiting for your suggestions.
