La Guerre de Cent Ans
Description
The hundred Years War is a mod set in western central Europe in the years between 1337 and 1453. The main focus of the campaign is set on the warring factions of France and England against the background of the french throne succession, which was claimed by the english King Edward III. As a successor of Henry II and Eleanor of Aquitaine he considered himself a rightful heir to the French crown as the only living male descendant of his deceased maternal grandfather, Philip IV. Additional reasons for war were continuing french raids on southern english ports, and the french alliance with Edward's scottish arch-enemy David II. Around this main plot, we find a multitude of minor actors (Bretagne, Scotland, Flandres, the Holy Roman Empire, Savoy, Burgundy, Navarra, Aragon, and Castille). All these players intervened at some point or another on behalf of one of the main contrahends, obviously to more or less openly promote their own agendas. The Hundred Years War is the classic conflict of the middle ages. It has everything: Heroes, villains, huge battles, sieges, devastation, intrigues, death, and highly unlikely outcomes.
Features
- A complete new campaign map. Even though the map only holds France, England and adjected territories this map is 20% larger than the original MTW2 map, with considerably more landmass. Fight in real mountains and navigate your navies on to four large rivers in mainland Europe. A great deal of time and effort was spent to make this the most beautiful of all modded M2TW maps (in our humble opinion).
- Twelve factions included, Ten to play with: England and France fight against eachother and ten other combatants, HRE, Aragon, Flanders, Savoy, Burgundy, Scotland, Navarra, Brittany, Castille and Wales. All factions have new or revamped unit rosters.
- Several new or re-skinned units to fight with.
- Units will only be recruitable from castles. In order to be strong you have to defend tactical points on the map while attacking as well. Professional armies offer little choices, but you can always rely on mercenary companies to bolster your lines on the battlefield. Around 50 mercenary units included.
- New models on campaign map.
- The game starts in 1337. Ending in 1453, with two years per turn, this gives you 232 turns to gain victory over your enemies. You will enjoy several upcoming events, such as the Welsh uprising, and the come of Jeanne d' Arc.

Included Mods
History
The mod started out as a crazy idea of on a mountain in the summer of 2007. The first thing to be finished was the map work, which already looked 90% of how it looks now back then. This is the main reason, by the way, why it is a M2 and not a kingdoms mod.
