Still waiting on this to get updated.

Crusader bonus was offered to my Japanese Spearmen. Minor bug but I hope it gets ironed out maybe.

anyways I'm going crusading!

Nah tottaly not acting like lelouch with the crusading bonus

Will this mod conflict with JFD's kingdom of France mod which also modifies vanilla france?

wow the workshop has normandy, all sorts of ancient viking civs, but it doesn't have anglo-saxon england from 1066 scenario :c

@JudaaMarr thanks glad you appreciated me making this mod!

I stopped to play cause this Faction is way too much over-powered...
Ok, Normans is the best Civilization in the world but... The buff is kind of stupid thing ^^

But anyways, making a Norman civilization was an awesome idea ;)

NORMANDIE!
Seriously, though, I'm happy to see this. I do Norman-era reenactment, it's nice to see someone paying attention to them.

Crusader was available on my non-Norman warrior as it's _first_ promotion. I ended up putting crusader on every unit in the first instance, since it is more than twice the bonus of either Drill or Shock. In my opinion 1) It should be reduced to 20% or less; 2) It shouldn't be available until you have Theology, 3) Check that the prerequisite promotion for non-Norman units is working

The Normans start WITH the Crusader promotion, it CAN be unlocked for other units, after certain promotions are gained.

Is this mod what has made the Crusader promotion appear? I'm not even playing as the Normans, but this promotion is available on everything including my starting Warrior. +50% combat bonus is a bit... much...

Wasn't the your original trait something along the lines of:
When you conquer an enemy capital it becomes your capital, and the previous capital retains all previous bonuses?
Just curious. I was going to see if I could use that (presumably LUA?) code as reference for something i'm making.

Being Norman myself, i found it a very good idea, but i wouldn't have chosen Le Havre as the third city as it was founded by Francis the First of France at the begginning of the XVI th century :)

and cool

ok

to black eagle , I am related to Edward I king of England and all his fathers who are Norman. aka grandpa

a type of fish ,like a flounder. the bottom of your feet or shoe. It is a reference to the bible description of the kingdoms of man. based on clay , iron , bronze and gold. if i remember right.
Your sole steps into everything good or nasty.

King of Sole ... ???

WHAT?

wow! I'm finally going to play grandpa and grandpa and grandpa and grandpa and grandpa.

Ah well I have both, so I am not sure if it would work properly without them

and my GK is coming in a week

no I haven't got BNW :(

And thanks leonhitter, indeed they did :-) Maybe I should lower their strength slightly though, simply for game balance.

And that would be cool yeah, I am busy on 1 atm but I may do after that :-)

Oh, it didn't.... have you got BNW?

that would be great

and a europe year 900 viking scenario

@GeorgeM you should make a viking and saxon civ

it only gave me crusader promotion

and Iwanted to say that i got this mod and it kinda workt........

I GOT GK BUT IT WON'T WORK

Leave Crusader Knight as it is I reckon as as Norman Knights had such an impact in the First Crusade and also when defeating the Byzantines in southern Italy

@Black Eagle Get the expansions. Vanilla is for scrubs.

@theflaningplee do you think so? Should I lower the Crusader Knight to 20 strength? What does everyone think?

@black eagle: or I play it on G&K anyway :-)

crusader knight seems kinda overpowered

man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

For the colours try
dandelion (240, 225, 48)
lust (230, 32, 32)

@black eagle yes you do need G&K I'm afraid

do you need gk ?

the normans could also have a "norman triumphantism" buff which could give happyness and no warmonger penalty for civs that have been denounced by atleast two other civs

the normans should also have a "fuedalism" ability, to make conquored citys into city states. it would be a unique ability but not historicaly accurate

the motte and bailey should be a fort replacement which can be built once by each combat unit and is 100% more effective

You could say that. There are around 30 civs though sp it would be hard to create a completely unique looking colour.

Their colour is too similiar to Persia..

Thanks leonhitter. I don't know much about Anglo Saxons yet, but I'll take you word :-)

And thats what I thought. After all, William conquered England, which was quite some achievement!

As for Anglo Saxon leaders discussed on Nov 30 Athelstan or Edgar would be the best choices as Saxon England was at it's peak then

Rollo or Robert Curthose could be alternative leaders but for me your chose of William the conqueror is the best as he achieved the most of all the dukes
