    Wink Re: XVI -XVII mod

    Cegorach has asked me to put those in here for you:

    The Wagonburg

    (on the move)

    I guess he will also tell you what's that special on these war wagons (with battering rams animations).

    Alex

    P.S. @SilverRusher: It'll still take a lot of time to finish this mod, so i don't even think about doing another one yet...

    P.P.S.
    Some more info pics:
    Regimental Artillery
    Swiss Pikeman
    HRE Cuirassier

    This mod is gonna be really good, I think.

    How will stuff like the English Civil War be handled, as it is impossible to cause stuff to happen at a particular year in MTW?

    BTW, it's good to see you on 600 posts!

    WAGONS

    This is something which could be only called 'a moving fortress'. The wagons are slow and vulnerable to artillery, in addition it is useless vs. infantry, BUT it is almost invulnerable to cavalry, offers some cover ( hard to destroy with ranged weaponry other than artillery) and can shoot ( musket accuracy and firepower).
    Why is it almost invul. vs. cavalry i.e. not absolutely ?


    It requires a longer explanation. I have shown these war wagons to my friend who played MTW a little.
    Last time he wanted to test them in combat, so I offered him an opportunity. I have watched this battle and noticed that he charged the wagons with Nogay Tatar ( very weak) cavalry. Of course I thought - 'their last mistake', but...
    I couldn't believe my eyes, they had actually succeeded !
    The wagons started fleeing and were cut to pieces by the swift Tatars.
    Never underestimate crazy orders like this !

    I imagine the wagons' crew:
    - 'Janos ( they were Hungarians) these Tatars are going to charge us'
    - 'They don't understand that we have +16 bonus to defence against them?'
    - 'No, it seems they don't worry about it'
    - 'Run away, these guys don't respect the rules !' ;)))

    Most likely the wagons' crew panicked because of the charge and it was enough.

    I've noticed that AI knows how to attack the wagonburg - no cavalry charges, only infantry attacks which break the formation opening the way for cavalry to finish off the defenders.
    Unfortunatelly, the AI is not able to use all possible advantages of this unit when defending or attacking.

    For the release I'm going to write a kind of guide for some units
    ( warwagons, Polish Winged Hussars, Tatars with arkans, regimental cannons maybe) to show some of their, less obvious, abilities


    @Silver Rusher

    To re-create this event nothing will be possible, maybe in future two factions
    ( republicans and royalists ?) will be added.

    I have seen you mod. For Poland in late - Lithuania shouldn't be counted as a protectorate from 1492 anymore. Generally from the beginning of the union it was equal, but from 1492 there was a common parliament for both countries and it should be called Poland-Lithuania
    ( from 1569 it was the Commonwealth - a republic with elected king).

    You are going to use RTW engine, that's good, so I am in the future
    ( maybe after MTW2), at least when I upgrade my old or buy a new PC.

    Wink Re: XVI -XVII mod

    The offices of the Papal States (incomplete):

    The 'Sacred College of Cardinals' is the body of all Cardinals of the Roman Catholic Church, historically they were the clergy of the city of Rome: they were the priests serving the Pope as the Bishop of Rome.
    Camerlengo (Cardinal Chamberlain) two offices use this title:

    Camerlengo (of the Holy Roman Church)
    is the administrator of the property and revenues of the Holy See; his responsibilities includes the fiscal administration of the Papal States.

    Camerlengo (of the Sacred College of Cardinals)
    is the secretary-treasurer of that body, and has responsibility for its financial matters.

    Dicasteries are the central offices of the Roman Curia (Roman Catholic Church government), they are lead by either a cardinal prefect or a presiding archbishop:
    Secretariat of State
    lead by the Cardinal Secretary of State, which is the most important dicastery of the Roman Curia. He can be regarded as the one being in charge of the political and diplomatic activities of the Holy See (de facto Prime Minister nowadays).

    Congregatio cardinalium Concilii Tridentini interpretum
    The Council of Trent was an ecumenical council of the Catholic Church held in discontinuous sessions between 1545 and 1563 in response to the Protestant Reformation. The Congregatio had to execute and supervise the decisions made there.

    Congregatio indulgentiarum et sacrarum reliquiarum
    Selling of indulgences and all matters dealing with reliquies.

    Sacra Rituum Congregatio
    'Sacred Congregation for Rites', founded by Pope Sixtus V. 1588, takes care of the complex process which leads to the canonization of Saints, passing through the steps of a declaration of "heroic virtues" and beatification.

    Congregatio de propaganda fide
    Organises the spread of the faith (?)

    Congregatio super negotlis episcoporum et regularium
    Internal negotiations among the clergy

    Congregatio indicis librorum prohibitorum
    Revison, censoring and indexing of (prohibited) books

    Congregatio sancti officii (inquisitionis)
    Inquisition and other forms of examination of heresy, founded by Pope Paul III. 1542

    Congregatio super statu regularium
    revision of monastries and other clerical institutions

    Congregatio sacrorum rituum
    founded by Sixtus V. to organise and increase the 'cult'

    Congregatio jurisdictionis et immunitatis ecclesiasticae
    founded by Urban VI. 1626 to protect the immunity of the church

    Congregatio super disciplina regulari
    improvements regarding the monastries of all kinds

    The Swiss Guard:
    Guardia or Gwardi was the first guard of the pope, founded 1506, lead by the Captain Commander.
    New guards are sworn in in the San Damaso Courtyard (Italian: Cortile di San Damaso) in the Vatican.
    The oath in (old) German, the guard's official language (translation below):
    "Ich schwöre, treu, redlich und ehrenhaft zu dienen dem regierenden Papst [Name des Papstes] und seinen rechtmäßigen Nachfolgern, und mich mit ganzer Kraft für sie einzusetzen, bereit, wenn es erheischt sein sollte, selbst mein Leben für sie hinzugeben. Ich übernehme dieselbe Verpflichtung gegenüber dem Heiligen Kollegium der Kardinäle während der Sedis-Vakanz des Apostolischen Stuhls. Ich verspreche überdies dem Herrn Kommandanten und meinen übrigen Vorgesetzten Achtung, Treue und Gehorsam. Ich schwöre, alles das zu beobachten, was die Ehre meines Standes von mir verlangt."
    "I swear to faithfully, honestly and honorably serve the Sovereign Pontiff, his Holiness Pope [name of the reigning Pope], and his legitimate successors, as well as to dedicate myself to them with all my strength, ready to sacrifice, should it become necessary, even my own life in their defense. I likewise assume this promise toward the members of the Sacred College during the period of the Sede Vacante. Furthermore, I pledge to the Commandant and to my other superiors respect, fidelity, and obedience. I swear to abide by all the requirements attendant to the dignity of my rank."
    Recruits response:
    "Ich, [Name des Rekruten], schwöre, alles das, was mir soeben vorgelesen wurde, gewissenhaft und treu zu halten, so wahr mir Gott und seine Heiligen helfen."
    "I, [name of the new guard], swear to diligently and faithfully abide by all this which has just been read to me; may The Almighty and His Saints be my witnesses."

    another military title i've read about (no details):
    Gonfalonier (see Order of Malta ranks)
    highest rank in the papal army, commander of the armies

    The Papacy had a quite impressive fleet in that times so the rank of an Admiral should be available also.

    Wink Re: XVI -XVII mod

    Hi Robert and welcome to the 'other' ORG.

    @DeadRunner:
    Sorry, we're still working on the mod. If you want to be among the beta testers i would suggest to send a mail to cegorach.

    @Minister of Fear:
    I think cegorach would appreciate any help on descriptions and he's working on them at the moment. His address could be found in this thread, somewhere on the last 2-3 pages. There's also a link to the unit rooster for this mod.

    A small note:
    The Captain Commander of the Swiss Guard should be called "Kommandanthauptmann" (if they use German for their ranks also).

    @Minister of Fear:

    I've answered your mail but got a message from my mail.deamon.
    Maybe your mailbox is full ? Send me an e-mail when you are sure that everything is OK with your mailbox.


    @Dead Moroz

    I would really like to continue our work using RTW engine, but there are many questions about this.
    Will RTW allow creating gunpowder weapons, how many religions will be possible to use, how many cultures ?
    I have read much of RTW data ( about 2500 pages in word format), but I'm not sure yet.
    Maybe we will have to wait for another year until MTW2 will be released.

    For now I cannot even play in RTW, because my PC ( Duron 800, 128 RAM) is perfect for MTW or STW, but it is too weak for RTW.
    I will have to upgrade in order to try this game. Buying a new PC is not my priority, but I'm aware of all new possibilities allowed by RTW engine, which are enormous indeed, so sooner or later we WILL HAVE THIS MOD done using RTW ENGINE.

    @All of you

    FOR NOW

    We need to finish our work. I still need much info to end my part of work.

    What I need.
    1. Name list for Cossacks ( the rest is OK, not perfect, but enough);
    2. Heroes lists - you can post just some of them, the maximum number is 30 for every faction - Poland is finished completely.
    3. Descriptions - Poland, Russia, Tatars, Cossacks are finished or will be soon ( tomorrow ).
    I will write many more, at this moment I have written about 50 + 20-30 were prepared by someone else.

    Thumbs up Re: XVI -XVII mod

    A long time has passed since i stoped posting on this board. But still i have been following the mod's development. I think it is time for me to intervein :P.

    About that Portuguese unit, "Arcabuzeiros a Camelo de Goa" i must say that it doesnt sound well in Portuguese. It has to do witht he sintax, it should be "Arcabuzeiros de Goa a Camelo", or just "Arcabuzeiros de Goa". It would sound more simple and would fit better in the game.
    This unit should take quite some time to be produced, since they come from India. The ideia is that they were serving at Goa, and now are sent back to serve in Europe. The voyage from Portugal to India took at least 2 years and half :p.

    This are just suggestions...

    You still need the office titles, the heroes and the King's Portraits isnt it? I haven't got much time at this moment, but i'll try to provide you with this info soon...

    I really liked the screens with the Portuguese flag, :p

    Good suggestions Count, tHe dEmEnToR I will implement them ( it's easy to do it).

    For the office titles I have only three Portuguese - provided by you earlier :
    Condestável de Portugal,
    Chanceler Mor do Reino,
    Imperador do Brasil,

    and I need additional 7 ( oversea areas' governors included) - I want to have about 10 for each faction if possible.

    For heroes I need up to 30 such men - admirals, conquistadors will be generals in this mod.

    My opinion is that if you started the mod in the MTW engine then you should finish. Some bifs are already done. For RTW you would require a 3d Modeler to put those bifs in the game. And still you're not enough familiar with that new engine. (I don't mean just you, i mean the whole RTW comunity)

    After you finish this, then, yes you should start thinking about porting it to RTW.

    You already know all this and you aren't really planing on making this mod a RTW mod so i better shut up and take some sleep to try and deliver the info i promised tomorrow, since tormorrow there's no school for me.

    Sorry for getting so off topic... =p

    More infos:

    French offices:

    Connétable de France
    most important office in France. Responsible for the stables, the cavalry and (beside the king) highest commander of the royal army and the marshals.
    The arms of the Connétables showed an additional sign - a cloud with an armored arm holding a sword.

    Maréchal Général des Camps et Armées du Roi
    Highest marshal of France

    Maréchal de France
    marshal, i think we need more than one, there were up to 8 serving at the same time.

    Amiral de France
    Admiral, office didn't existed from 1627-1669 because Richelieu wanted to control the navy himself, a mostly political office of a high importance, the fleets itself were commanded by:
    - Amiral des mers du Levant pour la Provence (~of the seas of the Levante)
    - Amiral de Bretagne
    - Amiral des mers du Ponant pour la Guyenne (~of the seas of the West, i guess this title is from a later time period)
    - Général des galères (~of the galleys)

    Commissaire Général des Armées de France
    inspector of the armies ?

    Grand Maître de l'Artillerie de France
    Grand master of the Artillery, quite important office

    Capitaine des gardes
    guards of the royal court

    I guess these are titles of honor only:
    Grand Bouteiller de France
    i've read it somewhere without any further explanation provided

    Grand Fauconnier de France
    Grand falconer

    Grand Maître de France

    Grand Maître de la Garde-robe

    Grand Ecuyer
    Master of the Horse


    Hungarian offices:

    The Hungarian King was called Király. The Magyar word király is derived from the Slavic word kral or kralj, which in turn is derived from the German name of Charlemagne. A reigning queen was called királyno, a queen consort was called királyné in Hungarian.

    Nádorispán (or Nádor)
    meaning approximately "At-the-Court count", Palatine, the highest dignitary in the Kingdom of Hungary after the king (a kind of powerful prime minister and supreme judge). From around 1400 he was the vice-regent of the king, a function which however only became important after 1526. He was allowed to command the royal army and to preside over the Diet of the Kingdom of Hungary instead of the king. When the king was not of age or if there was an interregnum, he also could convene the Diet. From around 1450 he had the right to grant royal property - like the king himself but with certain restrictions. An act of 1485 explicitly stipulated that the palatine shall be the vice-regent in the king's absence.
    In 1608, the functions of Vice-regent and palatine were separated.

    Supreme Judge (well my hungarian language skills are zero, so no translation)

    Tárnok (or tárnok(mester))
    Treasurer or in full title 'main royal treasurer' was the supreme economic officer (a kind of combined finance minister and minister of economy) in the Kingdom of Hungary (till 1918). The name is derived from the Slavic word tovor (= casket, strong-box).
    In 1385, the actual treasurer function, i. e. administrator of the royal treasury, became the responsibility of a separate person, who was the treasurer's deputy first, and later a separate royal officer ('Tárnok mester' and a simple 'Tárnok' office ?).

    Vajda (governor of Transsylvania)
    Bán (governor of Croatia)

    Fejedelem (~Prince) was title of the ruler of Transylvania

    Most infos are from various articles of the wikipedia again.

    @Dead Moroz:
    I like your 'concept' art and the idea of a rtw version, but i think we've done that much work on the mtw mod and i don't like the idea to have wasted my time.
    It's still not proofed that we could mod firearms in rtw, but if it's possible...
    Caracole would be great, imagine Reiters attacking in that style or spanish arquebusiers that move forward while constantly firing.
    I'd suggest that you create a modding thread in the rtw section of the dungeon for a follow up version of this mod. But from my experiences with this mod i'd also suggest to organise the work a little bit better (stricter) than we did .

    @Robert:
    Good idea for the panel. A little bit too red for my taste but we can use it as a starting point.

    @Count, tHe dEmEnToR:
    Offices and heroes for Portugal are most important i guess, portraits have been made already, we'll see later whether some are missing.

    I'm not talking about doing the mod right now. I meant just an "ideal". I'm ready to wait.

    How about to find and invite good programmer to modify RTW engine? Hope no copyrights will be infringed.

    Agreed. Our band of anarchists need better organization.

    I have finally found a book describing Zaporozhian Cossacks - almost everything about them, except one thing, NAMES are in Polish and we need Ukrainian ones.

    Here are their office titles:

    'Ataman'

    Command 3, acumen 2, dread 2, piety 2, loyalty 3;

    'Judge'

    Dread 2, Acumen 1, Loyalty 2;

    'Writer'

    Command 1, Acumen 2, Loyalty 2;

    'Asaul'

    Command 2, Dread 1, Acumen 1, Loyalty 2;

    'Ataman of ( several of them to choose from) Kuren'

    Command 1, dread 1, acumen 1, loyalty 1;

    'Translator'

    Acumen 1, loyalty 1;

    'Kantarzey'

    Acumen 2, loyalty 1;

    I will implement them, but in future we will need ukrainian names.

    @Dead Moroz - we certainly need better organization, I have lots of problems with unrelability of certain memebers.
    Most of script things ( descriptions, unit ideas) would be possible to easily add to the future RTW-engine mod

    @Alex - very good info, as usual.

    Some articles:
    Cossack Pirates of the Black Sea
    The daring exploits of the pirate Cossacks of the Black Sea protected Ukrainians from the Turks, helped nation-building efforts and set swashbuckling traditions that still live in the Ukrainian navy.
    Battle of Dunbar: Cromwell's Masterstroke
    The Scottish army had superior numbers and position on the morning of September 3, 1650, but all Oliver Cromwell needed was an opportunity--and he spotted one.
    Triumph of Flexible Firepower
    King Gustavus Adolphus of Sweden arrived too late to save Magdeburg, but at Breitenfeld he changed the course of the Thirty Years' War -- and the state of the military art.
    The 1456 Siege of Belgrade
    The fall of Constantinople in 1453 sent shock waves through Christendom. Then, in 1455, the young Ottoman Sultan Mehmet II mobilized his army to march on Belgrade -- and from there, possibly move on to the European heartland.

    I've just found these quite interesting links among my (huge amount of unsorted) notes...

    Portuguese office titles (still incomplete):

    Contestável de Portugal

    Chanceler-Mor

    Imperador do Brasil

    Almirante-Mor - The High Admiral of the Portuguese Naval Forces.

    Contador-Mor - The High Counter. An important accountant of the king. The same as a minister of the finances.

    Vice-Rei da índia - The Vice-roy of India. The title was commonly given together with "Governador da India" (Governor of India) .

    Governador da índia

    The 3 first titles you already had. Now you said at least 7 more, so i still have to find 3 more titles...

    I'm very occupied right now, but i'll try to find some time for this.

    Cheers

    My friends, here i present you the final list of Portuguese office titles... I made a few corrections on the old titles such as Emperor of Brazil which was wrong, since that title only appeared in the 18th century.

    Contestável de Portugal - The 2nd most important man after the king. The ruler of the Portuguese Army when the king was away.

    Chanceler-Mor - He was the keeper pf the royal seal and also responsable for all the royal documents.

    Vice-rei do Brasil - The vice-roy of Brazil.

    Almirante-Mor - The High Admiral of the Portuguese Naval Forces.

    Contador-Mor - The High Counter. An important accountant of the king. The same as a minister of the finances.

    Vice-Rei da índia - The Vice-roy of India. The title was commonly given together with "Governador da India" (Governor of India).

    Governador da índia - Governor of India.

    Escrivão da Puridade - An important secretary of the king. The translation is something like Purity Notary ( :p). This title temporary disapeared with the death of D. Sebastião. It later reappered with D. Afonso VI. With the portuguese independence this title gained more imporatance. Initially he was responsible by all the king's secret bussiness. Afterwards it became a administrator of all the countrie's bussiness. Don't forget that this title didn't exist during the Filipine period (spanish rulers).

    Alféres-Mor do Reino - Alféres was a military rank, the same as the 2nd lieautnet in the Portuguese Army. He was also responsible for carrying and protecting the standart of his lord. The Alféres-mor do Reino was the one who protected and carried the King's Standart. A very important military title.

    Governador do Brasil - The governor of Brazil.
