Norrvägen | Age of Civilizations 2 | Update is coming

[Capodastr 820]

Not everyone likes satellite-style backgrounds, which will initially be in the Norrvägen, and, to be honest, even I got tired of it during the time that I was working on the mod. So I drew a new candidate for the Tretyakov gallery - an alternative map background in a minimalistic style. When installing the mod, you will be able to independently determine the background that you like.
Taking this opportunity, I say that I did come up with a name for the scenario with events, which begins in the middle of the IX century. To your attention is the Rage of Normans scenario with an alternative palette of colors of countries created specifically for the new background.
Working on this background and "accessories" to it was a small respite in the work on events. Tomorrow I will return to work on it, and in 2 weeks, I hope, it number will approach 150.

how do you do pop up in events? It would be nice if you could record a tutorial about it, many people would find it useful 😉

[Capodastr 820]

A new, small feature that is informational in nature. Now each scenario will have a "Description" block instead of the "Author" block, which, accordingly, contains basic information about the scenario. It is useful for you to get you up to speed.

Norrvägen é a modificação dedicada a uma das partes mais interessantes do mundo em termos de história - a Escandinávia.

Norrvägen lhe dará a oportunidade de mergulhar na história da Escandinávia, sentir-se como um dos fundadores da Era Viking e governar qualquer estado existente na Escandinávia em diferentes épocas. Prevê-se a criação de pelo menos 20 cenários de diferentes escalas, seja o mapa inteiro, repleto de tribos e clãs, ou conflitos locais, temperados com eventos. Bem, algumas alternativas não fazem mal.

A principal característica do mod é um novo mapa, atualmente composto por 2.261 províncias. O modelo de mapa de província foi criado por mim pessoalmente, desenhado à mão com base em dados de várias fontes históricas e inclui uma divisão administrativa moderna e histórica bastante precisa.
Nas imagens abaixo, você pode ver que o mapa inclui não apenas a Escandinávia, mas também a Grã-Bretanha, as partes do norte da Rússia e Alemanha, bem como parte dos Estados Bálticos. Essas terras foram adicionadas pela historicidade. Por exemplo, a Inglaterra e a Báltica estão presentes porque os Vikings frequentemente organizavam campanhas na Inglaterra e nos Estados Bálticos, o que afetou seriamente a história desses povos.
Além do trabalho típico no mapa, vou criar uma trilha sonora atmosférica, interface temática e outros "acessórios" legais para o mod.

Algumas das outras inovações do mod:
- Código do jogo editado. Por exemplo, mudei o limite numérico de tropas para atacar uma província inimiga de 10 para 100 unidades de tropas, para excluir catch-up ( vídeo sobre este tópico ). Também aumentei o preço da criação de uma coalizão contra outro país em acordos comerciais. E (você ficará surpreso) novos edifícios, que estão em desenvolvimento agora (um dos novos edifícios de teste é definido nas imagens abaixo, você pode vê-lo lá );
- Nova IU;
- Editados e novos tipos de terreno errados;
- New Age - Viking Age no sistema de linha do tempo do jogo;
- Música atmosférica e sons editados;
- Alguns cenários com eventos;
- Novos líderes;
- Civilizações formáveis;
e mais ...

Neste momento, o mod está em desenvolvimento. Norrvägen será lançado no verão de 2020.

Game code edited. For example, I changed the numerical limit of troops to attack an enemy province from 10 to 100 units of troops, to exclude catch-up.

 

 Hello Reich, can you tell me which file should I modify to change this code, thanks in advance.

 @Łukasz Jakowski when will you already return to communication with your audience? Your great fans have a lot of questions. But you are keeping silent. Please, make a present for us in honor of coming birthday of game. Answer all the most important questions. In particular, what have provoked the rebranding of Age of Civilizations?

I doubt he will ever answer sadly, but yeah I wonder why he's doing that. The first one may have been due to copyright, but this one seems like due to "Age of Civ 2" sounding too bad comments.

think about how I could make the scenarios more realistic, for example the first world war, if I changed that, it could make the war less moving.

I can't tell you. It's unique feature of my mod and you think I will just give it to you?

[Capodastr 820]

The number of events in scenario Rage of the Normanns has reached 100. Several interesting micro-plots have already been worked out, which can lead to a variety of consequences. The further I go, the deeper I dig into the history of Scandinavia and England in the period 850-872, the more ideas come to the stories, that is, branches of events. I can say that the scenario is 20% ready.

The mod should be released in February 2021. In the meantime, you can check the screenshots attached to the post, where you can see some insignificant events (Sorry, but for now only on Russian. Soon I will find a interpreter to help me in translation to English).

You're doing events for other nations aswell?

Yes. Events will be created too for Jelling, Halogaland,  Wessex, Northumbria and Mercia. And a little for minor countries.

Здравствуйте, я турок и немного знаю русский язык (я все еще учусь), я с нетерпением жду выхода этого мода и желаю вам дальнейших успехов. (Надеюсь, я правильно написал)

Norrvägen is modification is dedicated to one of the most interesting parts of the World in terms of history - Scandinavia.

Norrvägen will give you the opportunity to plunge into Scandinavian history, feel like one of the founders of the Viking Age and be the ruler of any existing state in Scandinavia at different times. It is planned to create at least 20 scenarios of different scales, whether it is the entire map, strewn with tribes and clans, or local conflicts, seasoned with events. Well, a few alternatives do not hurt.

The main feature of the mod is a new map, currently consisting of 2261 provinces. The map province template was created by me personally, drawn by hand based on data from various historical sources, and includes a fairly accurate historical and modern administrative division.
From the images below, you can see that the map includes not only Scandinavia, but also Britain, the Northern parts of Russia and Germany, as well as part of the Baltic States. These lands were added for historicity. For example, England and Baltica are present for the reason that the Vikings often organized campaigns in England and the Baltic States, which seriously affected the history of these peoples.
In addition to the typical work on the map, I will create an atmospheric soundtrack, thematic interface, and other nice "accessories" to the mod.

Innovations of mod:
► New worked map of Northern Europe (2263 provinces). There are borders for 10 centuries of history on this map;
• About 1700 cities;
• Two backgrounds: Minimalistic (main) and Realistic (alternative);
• 11 Scenarios:
- Regional Conflicts (2017);
- Great Northern War (1700) ;
- Swedish War For Independence (1521);
- Kalmar Union (1397);
- 1164;
- William The Conqueror (1066);
- New Millennium (1000);
-  Christianization Of Denmark (980);
- Rage of Normanns (850);
- The Beginning of The Viking Age;
• Great scenario "Rage of Normanns" with a lot of events;
• 95 formable civilizations;
• Edited and new added terrain types;

► Gameplay innovations:
• New leaders with portraits (some of them were colored by me);
• New Ages in game timeline system;
• New Governments:
- The monarchy was divided into two forms of government: Absolute and Elective. I don't think there's much to tell.
- Chiefdom is the main ideology for the countries of the "ancient" eras. In fact, it is a collective image of various jarldoms and small tribal unions.
- Tanistri is a form of government for the Irish and Scottish clans, of which there are many in some scenarios.
- Althing is a unique form of government for Iceland. The Althing is one of the oldest parliaments in the world: at first, the word Althing meant people's meetings of the first Icelandic settlers, where various issues were resolved and future plans of the communities were discussed. Now the Althing is called the Parliament of modern Iceland.
- Theocracy - a form of government based on religious principles. It will be a unique government for the Teutonic Order, etc.
• Edited game code. For example, we added feature of changing leaders (check here).

► Other innovations:
• More than 500 new civilizations;
• UI was changed. It is still original UI but in pleasant black and white shade. Also a new font;
• Atmospheric music (40 tracks) and changed sounds.
• Pleasant Pallet of Civilizations Colours.

Norrvägen will be released in february 2021. You can also find some information in our VK group.
