For the Angevin Empire, in no particular order:
For Traditions; +10% Infantry combat ability, to represent the longbows which allowed England to dominate the French at Agincourt, and +2 max cultures embraced, to represent their successful control of so many cultures.
Empire in Naught but Name; While chroniclers already sing songs of the Angevin Empire, we are neither united nor centralised enough to truly claim an imperial title, this must be rectified. +5 states, -5% development cost and -5% build cost.
Treaty of Falaise; The treaty signed by King William the 1st of Scotland, had William officially swear that Scotland would be subordinate to the English Crown, that English soldiers would garrison important Scottish towns, and that Scotland would pay for their upkeep. +15% vassal tax and -10% diplo annexation cost.
DeathShade 16 Nov, 2016 @ 7:39am 
French Law but English Rule; England's law is different from village to village, and crimes on this side of the channel are nothing on the other, this must be stopped. If nothing else, French laws are worth enforcing and we shall see our realm unified under it. +0.5 yearly Prestige, -0.10 monthly autonomy.
Divide the Nobility; By splitting the lands of the nobility between England and France we can reduce their influence, and with their lands separated, they will have a hard time rising up against us. -2 national unrest.
Lords of Ireland and Wales; While enforcing our rule over these realms was difficult initially, now that they recognise their place under our rule, they are allowed some autonomy, in return for greater military support. +10% manpower recovery +10% max manpower.
DeathShade 16 Nov, 2016 @ 7:40am 
Economic Fluidity; From Chinon Castle we administer the realm's entire economy. English taxes are used to improve our holdings on the continent, while our Norman, Breton and Celtic taxes build Britain to greater and greater prosperity. +15% national taxes
The Humiliation of France; In the year 1154, the King of England officially ruled more of France than the French King and now that is true again, the very foundation of our empire is built on our superiority over those across our Channel, even more recently we annihilated the French army at Agincourt, England is better than France! +15% morale of armies.
For the Ambition, either 5% discipline or -10 culture conversion cost.
DeathShade 18 Nov, 2016 @ 12:34am 
For Illyria;
No real ideas for the traditions, but given their position, +1.5% missionary strength and +1 diplomatic reputation, for converting provinces, and gaining allies against the Ottomans and Habsburgs.
More than just a Region; Never before has Illyria been a true state, merely a region, populated by many cultures and tribes, and while many kingdoms have risen in the area, never before has Illyria been truly united as it is now. -0.10 monthly autonomy
More than just Balkan; Despite our unity, many other nations refuse to see us as anything more than just another Balkan state, soon to splinter. We refuse this reputation, and will make them pay for their assumptions. +30% hostile core creation and -10% core creation cost.
DeathShade 18 Nov, 2016 @ 12:51am 
More Powerful Than They Think; Since Rome first conquered Illyria, our great land has been passed around from country to country, never being allowed to proper under the rule of one of our own. With an Illyrian finally leading us, people are more than happy to show their support. +15% max manpower, +10% max force limit.
More Impressive Than They Know; The Illyrian Kingdoms lasted for 700 years before Rome came for our land, and while it pains us to admit, Rome has turned a splintered but strong land, into one that is both stronger and more united. +5% discipline and +10% national taxes.
More Than the Sum of our Parts:Serbia, Bosnia, Montenegro, Ragusa, all nations that claimed this great land, for only they knew it's real worth. There will be no more infighting, no more petty squabbles, the only thing in our future is greatness: +1 yearly prestige +1 yearly legitimacy.
DeathShade 18 Nov, 2016 @ 1:07am 
More Foreward Thinking than all Others; Knowing our past, we will innevitably cause the attention of others to turn our way, we must be prepared. Plans will be put in place, areas of engagement decided years in advance, and new technolgies swiftly integrated into our nation. +25% defensiveness and -15% institution embracement cost.
No More: No more will we fear the enemies at our gates. No more will our land be ridiculed, with names such as prefecture and region. No more will Heathens, heretics and foreigners, decide who lives and who dies. When they wake in hell, they shall find it empty, for all the Devils, now walk the Earth. +10% Infantry Combat ability, +10% Cavalry Combat ability.
Either +10% Artillery combat ability, or -10% Aggresive Expansion impact, depending on your preference.

Well, maybe you will think improveing the Roman's. Here is a mod made by me but is not published yet.(I have some problems with the localisations that i can't figure. PS I tried with 0 but it doesn't work) You can use it if you like.
{LINK REMOVED}

I will think about the Székely Land and the Saxonland? (translyvanian Saxon) ideas as well.

@tullio25
Your localization files need to be in UTF-8 BOM encoding, you have them in UTF-8.
I would put in the 0 to, as Paradox tells us that it needs it.

You can change the encoding in Notepad ++, save and try mod again to see if it works.
tullio25 4 Dec, 2016 @ 4:28pm 
I'm using a mac so i can't install Notepad. I have a default program that was ok until the 0 change happened. I tried to download a similar program (TextWrangler) but is not doing the job. I don't know how to get UTF-8 BOM encoding so... i can't do mods anymore (the localisation part)...

But i can cheat a little :). Here are the ideas/flags and all other staff for the Szekely and Saxons:

# Transylvanian Saxons

Dacia was not an empire. In time of Burebista was the most powerful until the Romans conquer 1/3 of the land in 101-102 and 105-106 (the wars between emperor Trajan and king Decebal).It was a revenge because the empire was paying tribute to Dacia or maybe because Trajan was thinking that the Thracians was the ancestors of Rome.

I included them in the second post.
