RFC Germania

Out of curiosity, where'd you get Frisian Cavalry from?

 

[The Flame8]

A random whim because he said their horses were famous.

Any leader ideas?

So are their cows... perhaps some Monty Python style cattlepults?

 

[The Flame8]

Unless they actual had some... no

 

[merijn_v1]

The cavalry is a possibility. But it's very generic.

Maybe this is a good candidate:

[constantinople]

How do you find units like that?

 

[The Flame8]

I like that unit!

How's the map going Constantinople?

 

[constantinople]

I haven't really had much time to work on it lately. I'm also having trouble finding maps to use to help me figure out what tiles should be plains/grassland etc.

 

[The Flame8]

If you just look at a modern map it'd work fine. I understand that though, and it's ok. Though a map will be crucial soon, coding needs to be accomplished first.

Trexeric (Contributor/Nordic Expert)

Just noticed this. I wouldn't say I'm an expert... I just have an internet at my fingers, a brain in my head, volume 1 and 2 of Vilhelm Moberg's The History of Sweden at my side, and an extreme interest on Nordic culture (in part due to my heritage from the area).

 

[The Flame8]

I like having fun with those and that's your official position!

I'm interested in Germany due to my heritage also (though I am rather Swedish also)

 

[constantinople]

Wow, the map is turning out better than I expected. There are a lot of forests, FYI. I'll start adding resources tonight and give you the map over the weekend, just in case I need to fix any last-minute issues.

 

[DC123456789]

Nice work! How long did that take you?

 

[constantinople]

Adding the forests/plains took about 2 hours.
The entire map has taken about 5+ hours as of today.

 

[merijn_v1]

How do you find units like that?

I just looked around at wikipedia. I've done this a lot to get ideas for the several RFC modmods, so I know which links may provide useful information. (or contains other links that will get me to another page which has useful info)

It also helps that Dutch is my native language. It's likely more info is available on the Dutch wiki on subjects like this one.


For the map, I would move Amsterdam 1 tile to the south.

 

[merijn_v1]

I created a spreadsheet with the general info of this mod. If you want to make suggestions for UP or something, you can do it here or leave a comment in the spreadsheet.

@ Flame
Can you include this link in the opening post?

 

[The Flame8]

Thanks a ton Merijn!

It's added to the first post. This will be very helpful!

EDIT: And amazing job on the map Constantinople. It has come along very well!

 

[DC123456789]

Southern Netherlands? I presume by the spawn date that it's going to represent Spanish control there, then eventually Belgium?

Also, why are comments disabled?

 

[The Flame8]

I was able to comment.

And that makes sense, I didn't think of that Spain thing lol

 

[Bair_the_Normal]

Bavaria should start at Regensburg as opposed to Munich. I'd be happy to help compile a list of buildings and units, so we can work on UU's and UB's from there.

EDIT: Also, either Brandenburg or Pomerania should be added as a civ. Probably Brandenburg.
