The Dream yet to be Dreamed (English Translation)

Description
This is a full English translation of the mod 未有之梦 The Dream yet to be Dreamed, an alt history set in a Europe torn by religious strife.

This is NOT a standalone version; the base mod must be installed and enabled alongside the translation.
"Chinese Language Mod for 1.37" is not required.

Please note I have only done limited playtesting. If you encounter any localization oddities, feel free to report them.

Setting Overview

  • After the death of Alfonso III "the Great" of Asturias, the kingdom was divided among his three sons. The youngest son, Fruela II, eventually inherited his father's legacy from his brothers, reuniting the kingdom and ruling it steadily until his old age. The wave of reconquest that followed forced the Taifa states of the post-Umayyad caliphate to seek help from the Almoravid dynasty, leading to a sweeping invasion across the peninsula. Ultimately, the Christian kingdoms and the Taifa states joined forces to repel the North African invaders. Alfonso "The Brave"'s Knight-Commander, the famous El Cid, landed in Mauritania, establishing a crusader kingdom. However, endless succession disputes provided the Taifa states with a respite, and Iberia remains ununified to this day.

  • Meanwhile, across the Mediterranean, the crusaders' endeavors flourished. Frederick II formed an alliance with the Ayyubid family of Egypt, consolidating and expanding his throne in Jerusalem. After returning to his homeland, the disunited papacy was no match for the emperor. Frederick ultimately won the Pope's support, ensuring the eternal continuity of the Hohenstaufen Empire. Roger of Sicily established the Kingdom of Africa, which took root amidst the ruins of the old Roman province, and the Maghreb pagans all bowed in submission.

  • However, the empire remains in the eye of the storm. A North-South war swept the empire, causing all of Northern Germany to break away. The Lombard League in the south also poses a serious threat to the emperor. The Capetian dynasty of France chose the wrong side in the Albigensian Crusade and was dismembered by the empire, leaving the mess to be managed by the Governor of Anjou in distant England. England itself was turned into a scorched land during the Norman and Viking conquests and continues to struggle in fragmentation, forced to cling to the Lowland cities for support. After the North Sea Empire fell apart, Knut's descendants once again recovered Britain and invaded Sweden and Northern Rus. However, the eastern lands have rejected Christianity and gained independence, making this antiquated behemoth difficult to sustain.

  • In the east, the entire Balkans bear the mark of the "Blind" Dandolo and his crusaders, while Rus and further east showcase the legacy of the highly sinicized Mongol cavalry. Under the rule of the Latin Empire, Greek nobles' rebellions have never ceased. In Luxembourg-ruled Hungary, the Teutonic Order remains vigilant against Cuman invasions, despite the fact that their German compatriots in Pest and the local nobles alike are tired of them.

Version 1.0 - Land of Struggle

Recommended Nations: Asturias, Africa, Morocco (via Fez), Tlemcen (via Algiers), Mallorca, Menorca.

Amidst the fields trampled by war and in a cottage destroyed by fire lies an anonymous sonnet:
I once saw that eagle soaring in the sky / I once saw that bird flying high in the azure
Saw those brave and beautiful wings / Saw that free and far-reaching crimson sky
That sacred and beautiful homeland's dawn / That peaceful and sacrificing home's quiet morning
Now wandering in that cold night's foreign path / Now locked in this fiery cage's blaze

That horseman arriving / That horseman arriving
He occupied our homeland / He trampled our home
They ruled the fields with desecration and humiliation / They adorned their tyranny with slavery and faith
Making the blood of our compatriots soak the mountains / Making the flames of war burn all youth

Lamb of Christ / Chosen of Allah
I have heard the drumbeats of the land of struggle / I have heard the drumbeats of the land of struggle
Go fight, to reclaim homeland and faith / Go fight, to defend freedom and life

Let the knight of the Holy Father delay no longer— / Let the warrior of Allah delay no longer—
Fear my God / Fear my God
Honor my Lord / Honor my Lord

Future Update Plans

1.0.5: Complete the unfinished nations in 1.0: Navarra, Aragon, Andalusia, Valencia, Cyrenaica, Algiers, Fez, Ifriqiya, Galicia.

The missing localisation was due to recent updates to the mod; I just updated the translation. Try unsubscribing and resubscribing to make sure you have the latest version and it should solve the issue!

Really cool mod, The story and content around Asturias are cool. Special event if you unite spain as "the incompetent" and good flavour events and wars around the world. For people interested there's also content for Italian crusaders in north Africa, Morrocco rebels of said crusaders, Muslim pirates in the Balearics and remnants of the Wessex (who are dead in England culturally and politically) as pirates in the Balearics.

All have good MT similar to Denmark or Sweden, but Asturia is the real star with 3 different paths based on the heir you LARP as with unique Missions for each and a broad focus on Iberian-ifying(?) France and north africa. Really recommend

Mod also runs well and has a lot of cool cultures and religions without being obtuse, like theres a small enclave of Anglois, Jorkun (Scandinavian English), and more.

If your bored give it a try, probably wont regret it. Although it is only like 1 huge/complex MT and 4 big MT's all based around initially Iberia.
