Any rational to certain AI army builds? Alot of muslim factions seems to spam spearmen only armies. It is because they're favoring quantity over quality?

Hi,

In the roman byzantin units, the cataphracts (Cav level 2) don't have any amunitions. They have arcs but no arrows. Can you fix it please ?

Wonderful mod guys !

can you add more units for romans

Yes it does, and spams armies

It says 'scripted war' does this auto start wars? Also, you should add viking raids and/or Turk invaders

can someone tell me the mod load order

I still can't seem to recruit another army as Ireland. Just specifically that faction too. Not sure why. Is anyone else having this issue?

Unfortunately, I've also run into the issue described by ChuckyBalla, where building a tier 3 barracks as Wales locks me out of recruiting pretty much anything other than maybe 2 types of spearmen. Also, playing as Ireland, I don't seem to be able to recruit a second army. I have the resources, and my Imperium says 1/2 armies recruited, but nothing happens when I click the button. Navies are fine, so I have no idea what the issue would be for land forces.

And as a personal request, would it be possible to restore Celtic Paganism as an option to convert when playing as Wales, Ireland, or Scotland? I know it's anachronistic, but it would be fun for role-playing purposes.

Is it normal that the flag is the typical red and yellow byzantine one and the faction leader I start with is Boniface? I have everything the mod needs downloaded.

Is there the viking (varangian) guard for Byzantine Empire?

Here's a map of what the Buyids would've looked like. :)
Forgot to add that with my last comment.

Thanks, i will check it out

Playing as Wales, once your upgrade to the level 3 smithy you lose the ability to recruit all the units that the level 2 smithy provides access to.

Also, the ai unit compositions seem weird. Playing as Wales, all the armies I encountered were majority archer armies with no heavy units. Playing as Byz, a few caliphate armies were pure spear.

I haven't noticed those types of comps in other mods or base game

FYI the Abbasid faction shouldn't exist at this time. Its territory should mostly be split between the following factions: Buyid Emirate of Baghdad, Buyid Emirate of Rayy, and Buyid Emirate of Shiraz. Rest would be some Azerbaijani faction and the "Abbasid" eastern holdings would probably go to the Saffarids, Samanids, or Ghaznavids, depending.

Also if you plan to split the Muslim religion into Sunni and Shi'ite as the other guy mentioned how the Fatimids were Shi'ite, then the three Buyid factions should be listed as Shi'ite too. Between the Fatimids and Buyids, this was known as the "Shi'ite Century" as it was the one time in Muslim history where the Shi'ites were the dominating sect of Islam.

It should, but it is also true that in very high diff ai has a lot of advantages ina battle. I will check it out

Love the difficulty compared to similar mods but the cav are completely broken. I send send a unit of light cav vs unarmoured archers and they lose! Description says archers should still be good against light units but it's not the case

Where is Paris??

Nah bro, not calling it Byzantine empire with syracusan flag in 2024

Hello, how come I can't recruit units in campaign with this mod?

dude below me needs to go to Reddit and cry about being offended by a video game mod, I would give him gold and karma

How can you depict almanzor as a magnificent, it would be like saying how the ayatollahs were a super relief for the iranian people from 1979 until now.
I thing you are morally confused if a barbarian saracen, who massacre so mcuh of Spaniards and enslaved others, like the women for harem purpose, you are either confused or just immoral. I don't know if it was just you who did it and if the file description on the menu of the corresponding faction also uses these terms, but they are not good.
Imagine a mod saying the three magnificent, in one of them is Amherts or just adolf hitler, would that be ok for you?

Ok i will look for it

Yes, there is no Mosques, and the religion in Muslim region doesn't grow.

Hi,
why are not there a masjed building tree for the Muslims instead they have other religion tree with priest and not an imam ?
why the fatimids religion is islam and not shiea islam even i saw the shiea trait

Are there any submods to leave the number of soldiers per unit unchanged?

Do the walls show not show on the map? Or is my load order wrong or something? I dont see additional walled settlements

Hello would it be possible to make it compatible with this mod or be able to add these units https://gtm.you1.cn/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1506969939&searchtext=maurice With this you get tagmata units which are historically accurate to the time period
Would love to know if this is possible

Another interesting fact is that the obodritsky union included a tribe of vagrovs, they were also varnas, vargis, varnas, etc. And the European sources know the Vagirskaya brand, as well as the Weringa brand, they were located in the lands of the Slavic supporters.

And with such a mass of facts from various sources, which the Slavic origin of the Varangians proves, the Norman theory is still alive and flourishing.

The chronicle reports that the Vikings founded Rostov, Murom, Beloozero. Archeology says that there are traces of two groups of the population - the Finno-Ugrians and Slavs with obvious features of the Baltic culture (they were originally called “Scandinavian complexes”) and there is no legacy of “Normans”. And the cities themselves are not “Norman” names, there is no memory about their gods. By the XI - XII centuries, these cities were completely Slavic.

Russian linguists (A. A. Shakhmatov, DK Zelenin, and others) also revealed similarities among Novgorod and Western Slavs. For example, the famous Novgorodian “clattering” has analogs in the Nizhneluzhitsky language (derived from the Polabsk dialect), it was spoken by the Lusatian tribes and encouraged. This explains the "non-Slavic" name of Prince Igor. The name was simply later transformed, in the northern dialect it was called “Ingor”, hence “Svyatoslav-Sventoslav”. In the manner of the Baltic Slavs, the cities were called - “guard”, “Nemogard-Novgorod”.

And in the 9-10 centuries a new wave of newcomers from the Slavic Baltic appears. The first finds of Slavic ceramics in Novgorod belong to the Feldberg culture (Slavic early medieval archaeological culture on the southern coast of the Baltic Sea). The construction of Novgorod Detinets 1116 (inner city fortress), has exact analogies only with the fortifications of the Baltic Slavs. The archaeological traces of the Baltic Slavs were also found in Pskov, Staraya Ladoga and other settlements of Ilmenic words. Novgorod also had close trade contacts with Western Slavs.

This is confirmed by the data of archaeologists, anthropologists - the material culture of wake-hearted people and Ilmen words are almost identical, as well as their appearance. Archaeologists claim that already the first traces of Ilmen words are “the culture of burial hills” (6-7 century of our era) has obvious features of West Slavic origin.

Another interesting fact is that the Novgorod chronicle reports that the Varangians also live east of the Poles, Prussians and Chuds, “to the limit of Simov” (to the lands of Volga Bulgaria). And this is the land of Novgorod Russia. The chronicler reports: "Novgorodians, Novgorod people, are of the Varangian family ...".

According to the chronicles of the Varangian Sea (as the Baltic Sea was then called), Poles (ancestors of the Poles) “sat”, Prussians and Chud, apart from them the Varangians lived there, their land stretched all the way to the territory of the Angles (the current Danish province of Angeln). It should be noted that the chronicles also included the Pomeranian Slavs and the Lyutichs. Between them and the Angles only the territory of the Slavic Union of Encouragement. They occupied a significant territory: the lower course of the Elbe (Slav. Laba), the west of modern Mecklenburg, the eastern part of the state of Schleswig-Holstein and the northeastern part of present-day Lower Saxony (the territory east of the city of Hamburg the so-called “Wendland”, the district of Lyukhov- Dannenberg).

In Russia and in Europe, they clearly distinguished "Sveev", "Dan", "Urmans" (Normans), "Angles", "Ready", "Varyags" and other tribes of Northern Europe. The chronicle says: “Idosh overseas to the Varyag, to Russia. Sitsa bo zvahut you Varyagi Russia, as if they are friends are called svee, friends of the same urmani, anglyane, inti and gota, tacos and si .. ”. For the Slavs, the Vikings were one of the peoples inhabiting Europe. In addition, there is no Scandinavian tribe "Varyags".

The tireless work of the Normanists and their supporters in the creative intelligentsia, the words "Varangian" and "Norman" became synonymous. Like, the Vikings - is the "old Russian name of the Scandinavians." But the problem is that there are no phrases like “Varangian king” or “Varangian knight” either in the annals and sagas.

Apparently, this theory has patrons among the authorities, both Russian and Western. The Norman theory is an excellent tool of the information war, it puts the Slavs on the lower stages of the conventional hierarchical ladder of peoples, where the Germanic and Romance peoples, the “people of the Holy Scripture” occupy leading positions. Winners write a story for themselves. We are witnessing this process and on events that are much closer to us - the Second World War. Judging by Western sources, the decisive battles were fought in the Pacific and on the Western Front, in Africa.

Normans were Scandinavians, but Rus Kiev wasn't Norman nor "Viking", thanks to the current Russophobes, both Russian and Western, who make films like the Thirteenth Warrior (1999 of the Year), where Vendels are Slavs living at the level of primitive society, many consider ancient Ruses, Slavs perfect savages who lived in the forest "life animals and birds "before the arrival of the Scandinavian and Christian civilizers.

Normans are vikings settlers mainly from Norway and Denmark who were allowed to settle in what would become Normandie. When you say Norman I think you mean northmen, but this is vague.
The names were Danes and Norse/Norsemen in the west, while the Svear(Swedes), Geats and last I cant remember whent more to the east into Russia, so in English the name Dane and Norse have manifested better.
In Norwegian the name of their own people is "Nordmann" meaning "Northman", which suggest how, but not proven, the name Norman come from, and Normandie.

Nordmann - Northman - Norman - Normandie.

Husary by : Normans I meant a community of northern tribes originating from the territory of modern Denmark, Norway, Sweden, that will be clearer, I hope. I think that you, as a well-mannered person, should not tell strangers what they should think about

sure i wil lpost it here. You dont need 1212 models, take a look to the required articles
list

What is mod installation order

Which models do I put for 1212? There's so many!

I am going to make a video highlighting this mod

Can you please put it on the steam page here when it is done?

Normans were not Rus, it were the East Slavic peoples and some Vikings who joined them, Normans were from Northern France, they were used though by Boleslaw Chrobry the Polish king conqueror in the invasion of Ruthenia, you Sancho should think more about your Phoenician, Jewish and Arab ancestors instead.

I beg your pardon, but let me suggest adding the faction of Russian units of the Normans because it was the Normans who were the state-forming and military force on the prosperous trade route from the Varangians to the Greeks, gradually assimilating with the local Slavic population. King Vladimir, in exchange for marriage with the Byzantine princess, gave the Byzantine emperor a select Varangian guard.

Ok, I was just thinking that the period of Basil II reign and until Alexios comes to power kinda is a chapter on its own as it is the new golden age of the Romans, and ending with the collapse and failure of for example the Doukas leaving the battlefield, leaving Romanos to his demise, opening Anatolia to the Turks.

What Basil II had buildt and left was lost maybe eve because of Basil you might say because he left no heir, he left a power vacum.

I met three stacks of Huns in Dacia

In AD 919 there is an Norman faction, it would be nice to see it in this mod, considering it was around this period that Normans were starting to expand and conquer, it would be an good idea to add them, in Northern Western Frankia.

Well the arrival of Seljuks is an important even in history of Romans and not only, it changed history at the Battle of Manzikert.
