'''PRO DEO ET REGE''' is aimed at improved historical accuracy and realism. At two turns per year, it hopes to provide for a slower and more challenging campaign. Forging and maintaining an empire will not be an easy task as the player will face many obstacles in his quest for medieval dominance. From noble rebellions to increased upkeep costs for standing armies to a regional area of recruitment system that limits and restricts the amount and types of troops available to a faction in newly conquered foreign province, establishing a medieval empire will be a challenge.

Upon conquering a foreign province, a faction will find itself as strangers in a strange land. Looked upon with suspicion and faced with hostility, much work will need to be done to bring a new province into the fold. To this end, Pro Deo et Rege implements a fully-realized Regional Area of Recruitment System that limits and restricts the amount and types of troops available to a faction in a newly conquered foreign province.

The mod has revised the faction names and starting generals for improved historical accuracy. Several units have been added or reskinned as well. These are the included factions:

===REPUBBLICA DI GENOVA===
+
===Map===
−
This fledgling maritime republic, in alliance with Pisa, has recently ended a campaign against Saracen corsairs in Italian waters. This campaign eventually saw the Saracens driven from their settlements on the islands of Corsica and Sardinia. However, control of these prized island possessions is still very much in dispute, as Pisa hotly contests Genova's claim to these islands. It looks increasingly likely that this situation will break out in armed conflict between these two Italian city-states.

Should conflict come, Genova is well prepared for it. Boasting a port second only to Venice in all of Italy, Genova has established itself as the one of the world's leading naval powers. Despite its supremacy at sea and despite boasting fine militia in the time-honored Italian tradition, Genova cannot hope to compete with the larger medieval powers on land...yet. A likely first step will be to move quickly into Corsica and Sardinia to consolidate its status as the coastal gateway to the Mediterranean...and beyond.

===Regional Area of Recruitment System===
 +
Upon conquering a foreign province, a faction will find itself as strangers in a strange land. Looked upon with suspicion and faced with hostility, much work will need to be done to bring a new province into the fold. To this end, PRO DEO ET REGE implements a Regional Area of Recruitment System that limits and restricts the amount and types of troops available to a faction in a newly conquered foreign province.

 +
===Commercial Capitals of the World===
 +
Not all medieval cities were equal. Due to location and resources, some cities naturally had more of an economic advantage than others. To this end, there are four levels of trade spots:
 +
 
 +
* Commercial Capitals are the jewels of the medieval world. Amongst them are cities such as London, Venice and Constantinople which were major economic powerhouses in the Middle Ages. In the mod, these cities increase trade and wealth greatly.
 +
* Trade Centers - these cities are the trade centers of a particular region and offer increased trade bonuses.
 +
* Trade Hubs - these cities are waypoints on the main trade routes and receive a slight increase in trade.
 +
* Minor Cities - a city that can be developed economically if the effort is put in, but one that does not boast the advantages that others naturally possess.
 +
 
 +
=== New governance system ===
 +
* Increased emphasis has been placed on Governours. Governours are now required in
 +
order to build ALL military and political buildings in a settlement. In addition, having (or not having) a Governour in a settlement will have an increased effect on a settlement's public order.
 +
 
 +
=== New rebel personalities ===
 +
* Each initial rebel region 'accurately' depicts the group that historically controlled that region in 1080 A.D. So for example, should Cilician Armenia wish to siege Melitene, they will have to contend with Gavriel of Melitene, a Greek Orthodox Armenian who had risen from the ranks of the Byzantine army and governed the region at this time.
 +
* Each rebel culture group has been given new strat map banners to add depth and atmosphere to the campaign map
 +
* Rebel garrisons have been diversified to better depict a settlement's initial garrison
 +
* New rebel types with unique and diversified rebel pools added to better reflect a
 +
region's rebel make-up
 +
 
 +
=== Revised AOR system ===

==CHALLENGING HOLY LAND==
+
[[File:Maplightallzi3.jpg|thumb|right|300px|Map with faction starting position|Map with faction starting position]]
−
Taking the Holy Land was the easy part! Thanks to the new Regional AoR System and increased religious unrest, holding on to it is now even harder than ever! But there’s hope! If a faction is able to survive the first few years here, the odds are a Hospitaller or Templar Order will ask to establish a Chapter House. Also, you can count on a limited number of Outremer Knights and Sergeants to help defend your possessions in the Holy land, as well.

===IMPROVED ORDER KNIGHTS===
+
* The AOR system has been completely revised to allow for more logical recruitment of

*New Unit! Brother-Sergeants - Brother-Sergeants are the lesser infantry that fight in support of the Knights Hospitallers. They comprise squires, rich commoners, or lesser nobility that have given up all their earthly possessions in the name of the Order.

==ECONOMY==
+
=== Revised starting positions ===
−
The economy in '''PRO DEO ET REGE''' has been made more challenging! Expanding and maintaining an empire will not be easy! But there's help!
+
* Care has been taken to give a faction the settlements they historically-held at the
 +
start-date of 1080 A.D. Obviously, some factions will have it harder (or easier) than
 +
others. All factions are not created the same. A Georgian campaign should be harder

than a Seljuk campaign.

Mounted Knights Hospitaller charging.

Regional Area of Recruitment System

Upon conquering a foreign province, a faction will find itself as strangers in a strange land. Looked upon with suspicion and faced with hostility, much work will need to be done to bring a new province into the fold. To this end, PRO DEO ET REGE implements a Regional Area of Recruitment System that limits and restricts the amount and types of troops available to a faction in a newly conquered foreign province.

Commercial Capitals of the World

Not all medieval cities were equal. Due to location and resources, some cities naturally had more of an economic advantage than others. To this end, there are four levels of trade spots:

  • Commercial Capitals are the jewels of the medieval world. Amongst them are cities such as London, Venice and Constantinople which were major economic powerhouses in the Middle Ages. In the mod, these cities increase trade and wealth greatly.
  • Trade Centers - these cities are the trade centers of a particular region and offer increased trade bonuses.
  • Trade Hubs - these cities are waypoints on the main trade routes and receive a slight increase in trade.
  • Minor Cities - a city that can be developed economically if the effort is put in, but one that does not boast the advantages that others naturally possess.

New governance system

  • Increased emphasis has been placed on Governours. Governours are now required in

order to build ALL military and political buildings in a settlement. In addition, having (or not having) a Governour in a settlement will have an increased effect on a settlement's public order.

New rebel personalities

  • Each initial rebel region 'accurately' depicts the group that historically controlled that region in 1080 A.D. So for example, should Cilician Armenia wish to siege Melitene, they will have to contend with Gavriel of Melitene, a Greek Orthodox Armenian who had risen from the ranks of the Byzantine army and governed the region at this time.
  • Each rebel culture group has been given new strat map banners to add depth and atmosphere to the campaign map
  • Rebel garrisons have been diversified to better depict a settlement's initial garrison
  • New rebel types with unique and diversified rebel pools added to better reflect a

region's rebel make-up

Revised AOR system

Map with faction starting position
  • The AOR system has been completely revised to allow for more logical recruitment of

local units. Higher-class regional units are now available at higher-level military buildings. Gaps in a region's AOR system have, for the most part, been filled to make construction of higher-level buildings worthwhile

  • Several additional units (new and old alike) have been added to the AOR Recruitment

System

Revised starting positions

  • Care has been taken to give a faction the settlements they historically-held at the

start-date of 1080 A.D. Obviously, some factions will have it harder (or easier) than others. All factions are not created the same. A Georgian campaign should be harder than a Seljuk campaign.
