Mod Plattform: RTW - BI (completely modfoldered, thanks for Wlesmana's guiding hands )

The Mod Completion:
- Background Historical Research = Complete
- Factional lists and in depth Military-related Historical Research = Complete
- Units and Battle Concept = Halfway, about 50% are completed (including the statistical balance), the rests are still in progress
- Script planning = Halfway, all the historical events and scripts have been completely planned, we still have to doing the in game progress though
- Campaign map = In Progress (see the map section for lastest progress), as we made entirely new campaign map full of waters (and very2 prone to landmass ratio CTD )
- Coding = Almost complete (the EDU have been tested with vanilla models, Traits are halfway implementation, and EDB lists are complete (still need writing in game though))
- Unit Modelling = Just begun, (we only recently get some moddelers and skinners, and allready some progress

(Almost) Completely Redone Faction Symbols:
-----------------------------------------

Kesultanan Aceh Darrusalam



Kesultanan Melayu Melaka



Kesultanan Palembang Darrusalam



Keraton Bintara



Keraton Pakuan Pajajaran



Maharaja Sriwijaya



Keraton Majapahit



Vereenigde Oostindische Compagnie



- lazy me, but the Portugese symbols will be the same, and directly taken from M2TW -

=============================================

Game Mechanics:

Religion:
*. 3 Religions (Hindu-Buddhist , Islam , Christianity) , at the Campaign, most of the named character (generals) can be born / spawned / adopted with almost all religion available, depending on several triggers. Almost all factions have the chance to change their religion, with several exception...
*. Religious conversion is too fast if it was a real conversion rate... so we will tone them down, and change it to "Religious influence", which represent not "quantitative followers" but "political power"
*. Religion Relation and factions:
-These factions can built every religion (Islam, Christian, and 4 Hndu-Buddhist temples) : Palembang, Sriwijaya, Pajajaran, Bintara, Majapahit, so you could play altered history with them....
-These factions (Melayu culture) can built Islam and Hindu-Buddhist religious structures, but never Churches : Aceh, Malaka, and can't convert to Christianity too.... so you are forced to embrace Islam, or back to the Old Gods.... no Christian
-European factions only get Christian generals adopted / promoted... and could only build Churches... and.... They won't convert at all. So prepare to face massive red face if you don't sent proper missionaries first....
-When you see "Missionaries" and question yourself... yeah, Portugal and Dutch diplomats will have the "Missionary" traits which give bonus religion influence points... Yeah, You'll see that Portugal will have Fransiscus of Assisi present at the start, and Missionary diplomats are essential to European factions because they are the one that could stop the red face growing, by spreading Christian influence beffore you conquer a province. And hence gives you a chance to start the Colonialization... that way, is another reason to exclude Christianity from Melayu culture factions... to made European life harder for a bit Well - well, it's then up to you if you just want to sack the city for gold and glory, or spread Christian influence, and spread the gospel... (in game terms, it forces European AI horde to sparsely colonize the North Sumatera and malaysia, and goes to south sumatera and Java, as the history does)... but REMEMBER: PORTUGAL can't recruit Diplomats!!! they are spawned at the missionary's historical work points. This was done to made colonization harder then.... and... we won't have Imams or Hindu priest or Buddhist monk as agent...
