Very impressive!

The biggest battle of that campaign is WIP! Worringen - 1288

Battle of Worringen (1288) is almost finished! Now I need to focus my work on hisorical AI. Do you think I should focus on updating my older maps with better looking enviornment?

I"d say yes. It could be regarded as a questionable effort because what matters in the end is the playability of the scenario itself - but "you eat with your eyes first".

Invest some time in it, the result will be worth it. And it is/can be fun too.

Myself, I"m used to mod vanilla and custom scenarios like crazy for I love working with the Editor so much. There are always details that can be improved or added according to historical sources, maps etc. or your own experiences regarding the character of a certain landscape. At times it can be quite challenging to find adequate sources, but the gain in knowledge alone is worth all the work IMO.

(For example I was doing some research on the German names of some places and waters you portraited in your Poland scenarios. In the end I found the names of some streams in the Wahlstatt area in some botanical reference book published in 1920. Well, that was a bit hardcore Silesian nostaglia I had to swallow... )

Hey!
Ye I tried to recreate all of them from old maps but giving names to all of them would make the map less clear imo so I focused on naming the most important things like big rivers or villages etc.

The campaign is out for everybody and with improved enviornment

you maybe dont know what this means for a colognian boy knowing a song about the Battle of Worringen since his childhood.
Its maybe the most apreciated mod for a game i have ever seen.

I'm really glad that I could make you happy and remind you of your childhood
