Hey, king, wait up. Paradox must've forgotten to give you this. No worries, I got you. Here you go 👑.

Based mod, used for years. Finally its in the vanilla game. Now rest easy king, you deserved it.

F

The best reason for a mod to no longer update haha

Kinda funny that paradox are just implementing all your ideas

they just added this to the base game

Reiterating previously stated desires for a decision to allow Occitan characters to reestablish the Kingdom of Aquitaine under certain conditions - otherwise this is a beautiful, must have mod.

is this savegame compatible?

Another great mod that exposes how the CK3 devs make some really dumb choices at times.
Honestly Paradox devs should've made it unified to begin with. Then added the option to create Aquitaine for any culture outside the Frankish group except Occitan and actual Frankish. Making the AI create the kingdom if France is conquered by outsiders, Occitans and Germanic Franks (who founded the Kingdom to begin with).
This'd make acquiring Aquitaine feel a lot more special.

I agree with Quizer, it would be cool if Occitan nobles could create a faction to install one of themselves as a new king of Aquitane after the decision fires to unite France- so there's still the off chance that wEurope still balkanizes, but much more dynamically. Would probably need a whole other mod though- a Struggle where Occitan nobles could call Iberian and even British kings to "liberate them" would be awesome. Just dreaming though- that's outside this mod's bounds, and it does lots already in terms of balance. Cheers, Ramune!

Suggestion, Could you potentially exclude the duchy of barcelona from the region of aquitane?
Since currently playing in the 867 start, you need to control the entirity of barcelona to be able to unite france

@Ramuné mod is making Louis 'the stammerer' as Louis 'the great' is this normal? Historically we only know him as the stammerer.

I see, thank you!

@LoneEagle You may only unite them as a king. The requirement is listed in the decision itself.

Hello, I'm having trouble uniting the two kingdoms after creating the Empire of France. I needed at least 2 kingdoms to create the Empire of France and I thought I would be able to United Francia and Aquitaine afterwards but that doesn't seem possible.

Quick suggestion there should also be a decision to restore the kingdom of Aquitaine after the thrones have united. It would create an ongoing struggle to either unite or separate the French thrones.

btw just want to say thanks for making such a solid mod, even the AI uses the mod sometimes so france doesn't dissolve, which it used to all the time. Thanks!

@lol33445 If the chosen start date is 877.10.8 or later, the two kingdoms will be united at game start automatically. Is that not working for you either?
If the game is started prior to that date, a decision will appear if
[list]
[*]you are a king,
[*]k_france and k_aquitaine possessde jure land,
[*]you hold either k_france and k_aquitaine,
[*]your culture has Frankish heritage.
[/list]
Perhaps a mod of yours is clashing with those prerequisites?

Alternatively, you could download the Title Manager mod and quickly unite the two titles manually.

my liege
I can enter the game but I can not find the decision to unite France from 867 1066 scenarios kings who have the kingdom of France and Aquitaine title but the decision is not found, If you may I would like to send you my mod list. i put this mod at the bottom
thank you my liege

@lol33445 I have no idea! Do those mods change Aquitaine? Because this mod just merges all duchies under Aquitaine with France.
You could check your error.log and search for k_france or k_aquitaine.

brother is not working i have dynamic trade and bookmark+ plz help!
is it because of the load order? i put your great mod at the bottom

@Espritviril Sorry, I don't think I can easily port effects over from Historic Invasions without creating a mess by accident.

Lovely mod, I wonder if its doable to mod AI so King of France can focus of uniting two kingdoms?
Probably need extensive work I guess. Just wish AI France could focus and unite two kingdoms.

Maybe its possible, like a mini scenario, the ones you have from your Historic Invasion mod? Not necessarily is a invasion but a capet dynasty coming to rule scenario would be dope with uniting two kingdoms.

It's just a thought, just came to me when I noticed you are the author of both mods haha! Lovely work I was subbed to this one for long time, big France is best France :)

@TheLoneWanderer When I test or create a mod of mine, I have most of my other mods enabled alongside each other. I just put them into a random load order.
Stable Steppe Nomads has become redundant after Paradox added de jure land to the Mongol successor states and an empire of Cumania is now part of Historic Invasions.
You also don't need More Arabian Kingdoms if you have Historic Invasions enabled.

@Ramune, I use your Historic Invasion mod, and I was wondering a few things:

* Are there any compatibility issues between your various mods?
* Is there overlap among any of them, or can they all be used together?
* Does load order matter if your mods are used together?

Thank you!

@Tito Lounge I've made two different mods concerning the HRE: More German Kingdoms & War for Middle Francia.

Hey, would it be possible to make the same for germany and bavaria? given the timeframe it would be relevant, it doesnt make much sense to have them as separate kingdoms

@lildaco Good idea! The first king from house Capet started their rule in 939 - The time requirement is already relaxed for the AI (877). Blocking the player from doing it as Charles and relaxing the other requirements sounds like a good compromise.

Maybe allow 867 but block Charles 'The Bald' from doing it, or have the year be closer to 867. 910-917 should be long enough that Charles is dead but short enough Louis is still able to achieve it.

@scurtis94 The mod was made with 1066 in mind. Making the decision available from the beginning in 867 made playing as West Francia trivial. The year 950 was more or less chosen at random. Do you have a better solution in mind?

but- if Charles' son Louis the Stammerer united the kingdoms- why is there a requirement for 950?

a big thank you- it got really annoying seeing France implode every. single. game. from the splitting kingdom nonsense.
I once even cc'd over to charles the bald and destroyed the aquatine title, but the moron just created it again.
I even tried forming the frankish empire- only for the AI to make Aquatone the primary kingdom title- splitting the royal court artifacts between the empire and france titles. Very annoying.

Good mod, but isnt the same true for bavaria and east francia, its just east francia in history, or lotharingia desintegrated which means the de jure stuff should disappear

niiice

Now that's based, thank you mod maker

A similar mod for the rivalry between the HRE and France over Middle Francia is in the works.

Yeah, make something similar for HRE please! I hate to see it fall apart each run :(

Seconding Jason, anything to make early to mid game more consistent.

Nice mod, Thanks. Is it possible to make it easier to unite Central Europe as HRE for AI as well?
