Medieval Kingdoms Total War: December 2019 UI Sounds file

Please note that this is an open alpha. Key word being “Alpha”, no matter how complete it may or may not feel, it's still early and a work in progress and we have a long ways to go.

What's in it right now:

57 factions

Tier 1(1200s)

Completely Custom Building Trees, Tech Trees and Faction Traits: We are one of the first mods to have completely custom building and tech trees. Instead of just retrofitting vanilla stuff we built our stuff from the ground up.

Unique Factional and Narrative events and dilemmas: These were times of major upheaval. Many factions have events that give you choices and the choices you make have distinct consequences.

Decisions: We have an early version of a decisions system in place. You can use this to achieve certain goals and aspirations. For example we have a dynamic naming component. If you play as Nicaea and take back Constaniople you can become the Byzantine Empire. Start out as a duchy and end up as an empire.

Single Settlement Regions: All settlements are now their own regions. This was changed to give more buildings slots to major settlements that wouldn't of been able to have them in the old system. Edicts and building effects have been altered to fit this new system.

Population System: There are five different types of population from peasants to nobles to foreigners. They are set up to play off existing systems and your choices will have an impact on it as a result.

Crusade System: Crusades are back, starting with the 5th Crusade for Cairo. Send specific generals to fight in these crusades. Complete with custom interface and scripting to accommodate,

Papal Favor: Vie for favor with the Pope by completing missions or going on crusades. Some factions even start out excommunicated and you must decide how to proceed from there.

War Weariness: We've brought the war weariness system from Age of Charlemagne and tweaked it so it suits our needs.

Mid Game Events: The Black Death, Climate Change from the Little Ice Age and the Timurid Invasions will change things up as you play.

What is coming soon(Early 2020):

Mercenaries

Tiers 2(1300s) and 3(1400s)

HRE System: The HRE Crown is a highly sought after title. You must outmaneuver your fellow princes and claim or keep the throne via elections and/or force. Pass degrees and grow your influence.
