1453 Scenario

[Bocaj]

In the east, the millenial empire of Byzantium is about to fall to the Ottoman Turks. In the west, France has pushed England to the port cities of Calais and Bordeaux, almost united. England, almost having been pushed out of the continent, is turning inwards, into the feuding houses in the War of the Roses. Meanwhile, in the north, a young man is being raised to conquer all other Russian states and proclaim himself Tsar.

This is an MP scenario (although if you want to play it in SP you're quite welcome to) I have been working on for a while now. It uses the GC as it's base, and is made in the view of being as balanced as possible and with historicalness close in behind. Feel free to comment/query any of the features in the Discussion thread.

Download instructions:

-Download file just below this
-Unzip it into your scenarios folder
-Enjoy!

Also, if anyone wants a previous version, I have every version of the scenario dating back to the very start, so get in contact and I can hook you up with it.

OPTIONS

In 1.0, I have not included any options except the CoT in Sjaelland, or Skaane. I'm sorry for this, but the time it takes to add these options is quite a lot. I will add the download for 0.9 at the bottom of the bottom page for those who would prefer to use that.

In 0.9 I have added new options, which I will now explain.

COPENHAGEN COT:
The default is yes, which means the CoT is in Sjaelland. When it is no, the CoT is in Skaane.

LESS HRE MINORS:
When this is 'yes':
Hannover is combiend with Oldenburg
Mecklemburg and Bremen are combined
Pfalz and Mainz are combined
Hessen and Munster are combined
Tuscany and Siena are combined
When it is 'no', which is the dafault, they are all separate

LESS IRISH NATIONS:
The default for this is 'yes'.
When yes, the setup stays the same.
When the setting is on 'no', the setup is as it used to be, 4 independent irish minors and england in Meath.

MORE CORES:
Now this is the fun one. The default is 'yes', and that means that everyone gets more cores. In particular, these nations get cores they wouldn't if this setting was 'no'.
England: Ireland, Calais, Caux, Normandy, Gascogne
France: Savoie, Piedmonte, Genoa
Spain: Aragon, Genoa, Corsica, North Africa to Tripolitania
Venice: Italy above Naples
Ottoman Empire: North Africa west of Egypt
Austria: Bavaria, Wurttemburg, Baden, Alsace, Pfalz, Koln, Mainz and Franconia

Administrators often were required to spend much of their time in Cuzco, and there was not so much of a local government.



Timurid Domains:
~~The Timurids have been broken up the following way~~
-Persia-
Hamadan, Awhaz, Isfahan, Fars, Hormouz, Birjand, Kerman, Lut, Elbruz, Tabaristan
Has Kurdish, Persian and Baluchi cultures
Shi'ite
Many cores around the place

-Bukhara-
Bukhara, Samarkand, Meched, Khorasan, Herat
Uzbehk and Mongol cultures
IRL, there were 2 Uzbekh tribal confederations, this being the southern one.

-Baluchistan-
Mekran, Zahedan, Baluchistan and Kalat
Baluchi culture
Shi'ite

-Transoxania-
Surkhandarya, Kushka
Mongol and Afghani cultures

-Timurid Empire-
Kabul, Qandahar, Quetta
Afghani culture, no Mongol culture
Given extra gold
Controls all others as vassals
-200 relations with vassals, and they should break away within 10 years (to depict the Timurid disintegration)

Kazan, Golden Horde, Astrakhan, Crimea, Bukhara, Timurid Empire, Transoxania, Baluchistan and Persia have had their stability set to -3 to reflect a turbluent era
