More kingdoms in England 1.2

Description
By decision the Kingdom of England is changed to a titular kingdom. New de jure kingdoms will emerge in Great Britain: Wessex, Mercia, Northumbria and Strathclyde.

There will also be some changes in duchies and counties. Some duchies are renamed, a few new ones are created.
The coat of arms of these new kingdoms are copied from the main duchy.

This mod is made for the 867 start date. You can also use it in 1066. The Kingdom of England will not be destroyed, just be titular, as all the de jure duchies are removed from it.

It is all done via a decision and a script. So there are no changes to landed_titles.txt, so it should be compatible to other mods. There are no game files overwritten.

I had to make a few choices regarding the borders of the kingdoms and duchies for gaming purposes. If you have suggestions, you can let me know.

Many thanks to Ramuné for his mod More German Kingdoms. I used that for inspiration and also used part of the script in this mod.

1.2
- After the enacting the starting decision, you get a few choices, for example to keep part of England intact
- Added a few cultural names for Celts
- Characters can unite Wessex and Mercia into England and integrate Northumbria after that.
- Characters can restore the kingsdoms of Wessex, Mercia and Northumbria
- Same for Scotland and Strathclyde

Also I think Cumbria should be de Jure part of Lancaster as not only is it culturally North Western (I'd know, I'm North Western) but historically was associated with the Kingdom of Rheged. The history in the Lacaster title shows the historical Kings of Rheged as being Dukes of Lancaster, tying Lancasters identity with the Cumbrians.
Truth be told there was likely more Cumbrians inhabiting even the county of Lancaster by 867, as historically there's not much evidence the Anglo-Saxons actually settled the region much (though they did rule it).
According to Historia Brittonum, Oswiu of Northumbria married Rhiainfellt, the granddaughter of Rhun, son of the legendary Urien of Rheged. This justifies the usurpation of Rheged through marrying into their bloodline.
The lack of Anglo-Saxon settlement in the North-West suggests the people living in Lancashire were just Anglo elites, Briton natives & Norse settlers from Dublin.

For whatever reason, that didn't work for me. Can someone upload a working version?

Turn arjan_england_more_kingdoms_decision = {
picture = "gfx/interface/illustrations/decisions/decision_realm.dds"
ai_goal = yes
major = yes
desc = arjan_england_more_kingdoms_decision_desc

To:

arjan_england_more_kingdoms_decision = {
picture = {
reference = "gfx/interface/illustrations/decisions/decision_realm.dds"
}
ai_goal = yes
major = yes
desc = arjan_england_more_kingdoms_decision_desc

Or just edit k_ text files in game\history\provinces.

Plans for East Anglia, Kent and Essex yet?

Compatible with historic invasion? seems North Empire can not conquer England.
Akatosharine 3 Jul, 2023 @ 12:43am 
Brilliant! Great that it works with the East Asia expansion as well :3 if I may suggest something for the next update, could you put the Kingdoms of Kent, East Anglia and Essex in there? these still did exist at startdate and wouldn't be destroyed until Aethelred's historical death in 871.

@macluk Oh I see. I didn't think it had to be activated by decision
macluk 1 Jul, 2023 @ 3:53am 
@Akatosharine - have you activated the decision? when you start the game you need to use the right hand side panel to activate the split.

@Akatosharine: could you elaborate? It still works for me?
