Medieval Kingdoms 1212AD – Custom cities beta
!!!Campaign ready + Feature-Complete!!!
This mod adds a total of 40+ medieval-european maps (small and large variants included) to the MK1212ad mod, emphasizing the medieval feeling of your siege battles!
So far the mod includes 16 Central European maps; Western european cities use mostly white, half-timbered houses, the regions of the Holy Roman Empire, Hungary and Poland a mix of different colours and northern europe mostly reddish houses to emulate the strong reliance of brickstone in these regions.
The Mid-August-update added another 18 mediteranean and slavic city maps (including upgradeable small and large variants) for custom battle and campaign. The Late-August-Update finally added small variants also to the Central European maps, making them upgradeable and fully consistent with the rest of the map.
In this version of the submod ALL CITIES HAVE BEEN LINKED TO THE CAMPAIGN MAP, as well as all remaining vanilla cities. (you can find another, now outdated version for Custom battles only under this link; https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3010253808)
Since the Late-August-Update ALL cultures start with upgradeable maps, so the whole campaign map is consistent now! Because the whole campaign map now has functional medieval city-maps this mod can be regarded as FEATURE-COMPLETE! All maps, especially in campaign, are well playable, remaining bugs will be solved in future updates.
Also the development will be continued within the MK1212AD mod, so the maps will gradually be improved or exchanged for even better ones later on!
Installation;
-just download this mod and activate it in your mod manager
-it is recommended to place this mod above all MK1212 packs
-also you need to have the MK1212ad-mod installed
Some additional informations;
-In custom battles you can play all sieges by searching the settlements on the CB-map. HOWEVER if you want to play large-walled central European maps (HRE, Scandinavian, Hungarian or Polish maps) it is recommended to do so by choosing the available maps from the CB-list or choosing the reskin-version from western europe in the current state, since there is a known bug, that prevents these maps from having large siege equipment in custom battles (sieges played in campaign dont have this issue and are well playable)!
-Siege barricades on large maps are deactivated due to issues caused by them
-Although most bugs have been fixed by now, minor glitches (e.g. rivers not matching exactly with the surrounding area) can still occur and will be solved later on
-OTHER KNOWN BUGS are that; 1. "Flooded maps" and glitches with the surrounding area in the CB-list-option 2. Ai bugs out, if its attacking the city and some siege engines (ladder or tower) arrive much sooner at the wall than the other equipment
Please let me know your feedback!
