A little something I've been working on. It still has work to be done on it, like Markland, the sea divisions and minor tweaks (province names, some islands may go), but expect a full announcement of a new BKB project for Medieval soon incorporating my new map.

It might not be completely geographically correct but its near enough there. It took me ages so apart from what I said NOTHING will be changed at this point.
Great.... ~D ~:cheers:
New project by BKB = > good project! ~D ~:cheers:
Well I'll do my best. I replied to you in the Main Hall also.
By the looks of the map it is goin to be based around the vikings, am i right?
Excellent map by the way.
That's where a lot of people might come unstuck. Although its crying out for it, oddly this mod will NOT feature Vikings. Norse, Danes and Kingdom of the Isles yes, but that's about as close as you'll get.
I want to create something different, and not step on anyone's toes, especially the Fury of the Northmen guys.
Man, BKB, first the super mod then this! Your Awesome man. This new mod is gonna be so great i'm not sure words can describe it.
Great idea BKB ! ~:cheers:
Fury of the northmen kinda died, didn't it ?
And I know what this mod will be about ~D (I don't think this sentence is correct, but it sounds cool)
Good to see you are working on another project! Good luck
~:cheers:
Looks interesting my friend.
Just to say, the map is nearly done, just the seas and some province names to eradicate. I should warn you, province names will NOT appear on the map. Since there's so small space to deal with its the only way I can add the maximum amount of provinces. I wanted to do it. Hell, its really difficult to remove the names and get it to look good, so I REALLY would have liked to do it. Anyway, it should be done by Thursday and ran through the LMM by the weekend. Expect Europe to be packed with provinces while America's to be quite sparse.
Sounds good. May I ask what factions are in?
At the moment i can't really say but expect a few new ones such as Kingdom of the Isles and a few Irish factions and rest I'll keep as a surprise ~D
Looks great BKB!
Will you include native american and Eskimo factions?
best wishes for your mod!
:charge:
*Desperately tries to force lid back on one of the most interesting parts of the mod, and asks KOP2 nicely not to make him reveal too much at this stage!* ~D ~:cheers:
Ok BKB! ~:)
I know what you mean!
Nice work
:duel:
Expect a full announcement with final pics of the map within the next week. I just have to divide the seas now.
Yepee!
~:cheers:
This looks like it is going to be great. ~:)
BKB
I have a suggestion, but I think you might possibly have done it already.
You could prepare two techtrees for some factions - one only for american colonies and one for Europe only.
It is easy by using the resource requirement in building prod file to make these buildable only in America/Europe.
A very good idea , I believe :bow: :book:
BKB, i found this site about native american cultures pre-first contact with european nations, that might be usefull, if you decide to include them of course!

see yah ~:cheers:
Thanks KOP2 that looks useful!
I've decided on a name by the way:
THE AGE OF WARLORDS: TOTAL WAR
Interesting... The first feeling is that the mod is starting somewhere between 700 - 1200 a.d.
Would love to see some pics btw.
~:cheers:
The first period will begin 1152, when Barbarossa became HRE. The latter, set during the HYW, I have not decided on a start date for just yet.
Here's the finished map before I run it into the LMM. The seas are in place. I know they look a little square but it was too difficult and time consuming to make them all curvy, especially as there is so many of them. I also know the names are modern and I made up one or two (Sea of the Isles), but they sound pretty good and god knows even if they had names for the American seas in Medieval times:

Wow cool map. Can´t wait to play it.
Is it hard to draw lines between the regions and does it take a long time?
~:cheers:
BKB, I would gladly help you, just tell me what I have to do, and if I have the knowledge and the skills, I'll give it a try.
Nice map btw :)
There were Viking names for the regions where Leif Ericsson landed. You could associate the sea zones with those regions, if you want more outdated names for them.
BKB, if you need some maps just follow the link:
