DLV Europa preview

[well]

This is a preview thread for a major DLV mod I've been working on (time permitting) for about 3 months now.

Map: Resized, reworked, revamped campaign map which is more Euro-centric. THE AMERICAS ARE GONE!


Big thanks to derdrakken for doing the initial work on this .

New regions follow: Stirling, Durham & the Southern Isles (Norwegian). Edinburgh & Aberdeen moved to their geographically correct positions

Caerleon & Exeter

Greater Poland

Cilicia

 

Syrmia

 

Pechorsky

 

There's a couple more new ones as well but I forgot to take screenshots, I'll do that later.
Also each faction now has their proper historical starting positions circa 1180 or as near as I could get it . Major reworking of their starting populations/development. Many thanks are due to dave scarface for this

Factions: 3 new factions. Wales, the Crown of Aragon & the Empire of Mali.
Thanks to King Kong for allowing the use of Aragon from the Stainless Steel mod. Thanks also to the people at the Regions & Provinces Mod & Caledonian Rhyfelwyr whose Mali units have been incorporated into Europa.
But for every ying there's a yang because of hardcoded limits 3 factions had to go. These are the Aztecs (for obvious reasons). The Hedjaz are no more as well & Milan have also been removed (historically inaccurate, way overpowered & too similar to the other Italian factions). The Papal States will only be controlled by the AI.

Other Stuff: Loads of fantastic new artwork from Tokus*Maximus including hopefully a fully functional UI for all factions. Reworked EDU, may add ivanhoex's changes. Extended, historically accurate family trees for all factions

 

Reworking of recruitment in the EDB. Loads of other stuff that I'm still working on, some of it I know works, the other has still to be tested.

Because this mod has too many changes to be added to DLV Prime it will use a self installer in the same way as derdrakken's DLV Kingdoms campaigns. This mod will not touch your normal DLV installation in any way. You'll be able to play regular DLV & DLV Europa.
Will post further updates here. It's not finished yet but a lot of the groundwork has been done. It's now a case of polishing & testing & polishing etc, etc.
I will ask for Beta testers closer to release .
Biggest thanks of course go to repman for allowing me to use the best M2TW mod out there as a base for this humble offering.

All suggestions are welcome but only the best will be used..

 

Crown of Aragon
Sandwiched between France, Spain, England & the Moors. Aragon will be a difficult faction to play. Maintain good relations with Spain & England and perhaps you may profit from the wars that are sure to break out around you. Or you could try to establish a Mediterranean empire by taking the rebel islands that lie to your East.
Starting Position

Some of the units from the Aragonese unique & interesting roster..

 

Wales
Wales will probably face the hardest starting position in the whole game. With bad relations with their superpower neighbour England from the start Wales will do well to avoid being crushed quickly, perhaps stout defence and hit & run tactics will be enough to turn the tide? If Wales are really lucky England will be so occupied with other wars that they disregard the Welsh Dragon on it's doorstep.

Some Welsh Units (reskinned by myself to make them look more like down & dirty soldiers and less like Santa's Happy Elves).

Located at the extreme southern edge of the map. Mali will have to move fast to secure the rich gold fields to it's south before it's more powerful neighbours cast covetous eyes in it's direction. Mali can field a good mix of light cavalry, spears & archers but lack in heavy infantry. They may also have a surprise unit .
Starting Position

Some Malinese units..

The Mali units do require some additional work, not that there's anything wrong with them, I'm just a bit of a perfectionist .

SS 에서 장군들의 관료, 무관의 성향 구분을 DLV에서 따온 것처럼, DLV도 SS에서 맵 특성을 따오네요. 서로 좋은것들을 받아들이는 듯해서 좋기는 한데 점점 비슷해져 가는게 아니가 싶네요. 나중에는 SS DLV 통합 모드같은거라도 나올까요ㅡㅡ;;;

롬토에서의 AOR 시스템과 같은 뭔가 획기적인 시스템이 나오지 않는 이상 스킨도 비슷하고 뭐.. 그 나물에 그 밥이죠 ㅡㅡ;
