Historical Context:
Charlemagne (/ˈʃɑːrləmeɪn, ˌʃɑːrləˈmeɪn/ SHAR-lə-mayn, -⁠MAYN, French: [ʃaʁləmaɲ]) or Charles the Great (Latin: Carolus Magnus; German: Karl der Große; 2 April 747[a] – 28 January 814), a member of the Carolingian Dynasty, was King of the Franks from 768, King of the Lombards from 774, and the first Holy Roman Emperor from 800. Charlemagne succeeded in uniting the majority of western and central Europe and was the first recognized emperor to rule from western Europe since the fall of the Western Roman Empire around three centuries earlier.[2] The expanded Frankish state that Charlemagne founded was known as the Carolingian Empire. He was later canonized by Antipope Paschal III— later treated as invalid—and he is now regarded as beatified (which is a step on the path to sainthood) by the mainstream Catholic Church.

Charlemagne was the eldest son of Pepin the Short and Bertrada of Laon. He was born before their canonical marriage.[3] He became king of the Franks in 768 following his father's death, and was initially as co-ruler with his brother Carloman I until the latter's death in 771.[4] As sole ruler, he continued his father's policy towards protection of the papacy and became its sole defender, removing the Lombards from power in northern Italy and leading an incursion into Muslim Spain. He also campaigned against the Saxons to his east, Christianizing them (upon penalty of death) and leading to events such as the Massacre of Verden. He reached the height of his power in 800 when he was crowned Emperor of the Romans by Pope Leo III on Christmas Day at Old St. Peter's Basilica in Rome.

Charlemagne has been called the "Father of Europe" (Pater Europae),[5] as he united most of Western Europe for the first time since the classical era of the Roman Empire and united parts of Europe that had never been under Frankish or Roman rule. His rule spurred the Carolingian Renaissance, a period of energetic cultural and intellectual activity within the Western Church. The Eastern Orthodox Church viewed Charlemagne less favourably due to his support of the filioque and the Pope's having preferred him as emperor over the Byzantine Empire's first female monarch, Irene of Athens. These and other disputes led to the eventual later split of Rome and Constantinople in the Great Schism of 1054.[6]

Charlemagne died in 814. He was laid to rest in the Aachen Cathedral, in his imperial capital city of Aachen. He married at least four times, and had three legitimate sons who lived to adulthood. Only the youngest of them, Louis the Pious, survived to succeed him. Charlemagne and his predecessors are the direct ancestors of many of Europe's royal houses, including the Capetian dynasty,[c] the Ottonian dynasty,[d] the House of Luxembourg[e] and the House of Ivrea.[f]

Changelog:

1- 768 Starting year.

2- Size increased( Startpos and campaign,Melee infantry 400, missile infantry 300, cavalry 120)

3- The starting position of some factions has been changed to represent a more historically accurate scenario. Emirate of Cordoba united. Frankish Kingdom united after Carloman's death. In war with Gascony and Aquitaine due to their rebellions. Peace with Saxons as they were still in peace. Duchy of Pamplone has been transformed into "Vascones",


4- Diplomatic effects have been changed so now small factions will respect bigger ones, getting into deals easily. This wants to reproduce the real situation of the epoch where the small kingdoms tended to respect the more powerful ones even if they had periodic wars. JOIN empire option has been added for AoC.

5- Ai improvement, more changeling campaign where the Ai will be more aggressive. Nevertheless, this in hand with point 4 will reproduce in global, harder wars with the Ai but less common. So to win a war against will be harder than in vanilla but you will have wars with fewer factions( if you use diplomatics wisely)

6- 4 turns per year

7-All AoC cities are walled, minor will have 8m walls and majors 15m walls.

8- New battle system with a more realistic moral system as well as slower combat. AI will flank more, less effective projectiles, more rigid spear lines, front cavalry charges against closed infantry formations are unuseful( this tries to represent that horses didn't make front charges against infantry formations, it was more a moral shock game. They were just able to flank or attack from the rear. Something that was partially fixed in the future blinding the horses by different techniques.)

Cavalry has more mass entity and light infantry less, like this cavalry will still destroy light infantry units. The mass entity increment also allows the cavalry to retreat from a melle with fewer losses. To go back and charge again.

I have just transposed one of my battle mods to this one, you can see the entire battle changelog here:
