[Preview] Script events - (Updated 26.04.2016)
Hello everyone. This is the preview of events that includes the Mod. Numerous scripts are being adding to the campaign, providing new challenges for the player and historical immersion in the era of The Great Conflicts. In this thread, you can follow the evolution of the scripts that are being including. For now, in this post you can see a small sample.
First preview of script events
Rebellions of the frank Dukes in 10th century
In the Northwest of map, the dukes Eberhard of Franconia and Gilbert of Lothraine will lead a rebellion against the King of the East Franks (Regnum Francorum Orientalium). They will pass through the area prompting your people to revolt. You must kill them before they sow chaos in your kingdom. But be careful not to leave defenseless cities, because they will exploit the situation to conquer them.

Conversion of East Frankia to Holy Roman Empire
The faction of East Frankia will aim to become the Holy Roman Empire. To achieve this you must expand to Bohemia region, protect the Papal States and conquer Northern Italy crushing the rebellion of the King Berengar. If you get to be crowned by the Pope, you will have a total conversion in the faction, including a new roster of units. It will also mean a change in the conditions of victory and new challenges in the campaign.
Images:
Union of the Lombard Duchies
To ensure the survival from their powerful enemies that surround them, Lombards should be unified in to a confederation.They will do so if they will find someone powerfull enough to inspire or force them to do so. If you want to get a union, you have to demonstrate your military supremacy against your neighbour cities. The objetive is to get a win against one of the cities, Capua, Naples or Salerno. If your armies are imposed forcefully, they will accept your superiority to spearhead the Lombard Alliance. You will also receive tributes.

Second preview of script events
Invasion of the Magyars
At the end of the 9th century, the Magyars leave their territory of the steppes with the aim of settling in the European part of the Pannonian and its surroundings. If you have settlements in that territory, you must arm themselves well to cope with the military power of the Magyar armies and their new tactics of war.
Images:
The migration of the Magyars
To evolve as faction, the Magyars must wager to conquer new territories and settle in Europe. When the time comes, you will have the option to become a nomad faction (without cities), leaving behind the steppes and marching towards a more prosperous place.
Images:
Invasion of the Pechenegs
Moments of great tension will live in the steppes of the Black Sea with the arrival of the Pechenegs from Central Asia. You must deploy your armies and demonstrate your skills in combat. These fearsome hordes are experts at attacking by surprise in unexpected places. The future of your faction will be at stake.
Images:
The conversion of the Magyars and the coronation as King
If the Magyars get settle successfully in the area of Eastern Europe and have good relations with the Pope of Rome, they can convert to Christianity. The Magyar leader may also consolidate his power by marrying with the Princess of the Holy Roman Empire and crowned as King. Getting to be an important faction to Christianity in Europe.
Images:
The appearance of the Normans
At the beginning of the 11th century, the Normans enjoy the hospitality of the Lombard Dukes in the South of Italy. You will have the opportunity to maintain alliances with them for that help you expel your enemies and to support revolts against them. But beware, the Normans may feel too attracted by these lands...

Third preview of script events
Possible insurrections or rebellions in Bulgaria
It has built a system of "traits" that determines the attitude of family members with respect to the Byzantine Empire. That also affects their loyalty to the Tsar, and depending on who becomes the new Tsar, may worsen diplomatic relations with Byzantium. Or in the case of too much friendship with the Byzantines, exists the risk of rebellions of the "anti-byzantine".
Images:
Kievan Rus incursion in Constantinople
The army of Kievan Rus led by Oleg is presented at the gates of Constantinople and preparing a siege to invade the city. The Byzantine Emperor must negotiate with Oleg, if he want that withdraw the Rus troops, or on the contrary, fight with him and expel it from the Byzantine domains.
Images:
Rus'–Byzantine Treaty of Chersonesos
Vladimir of Kiev has besieged the city of Chersonesus, but the byzantine emperor Basil is willing to negotiate the wedding of his sister Anna in exchange for lifting the site. A marriage alliance could mean the conversion to Christianity of Kievan Rus and the creation of the Varangian Guard in the Byzantine Empire.
Images:
The autonomy of Venice
The Venetians are unhappy about their lack of autonomy in their city. The Doge has demanded more autonomy if they want to continue under the sovereignty of Byzantium. The Emperor must negotiate with the Doge the construction of a government building (still to be determined)
Images:
Aparition of the Fatimid Caliphate
Ubayd Allah it auto-proclaims Caliph and creates the Fatimid dynasty by the success of his preaching in the area of Maghreb. The Fatimids will fight to impose the Ismaili branch of Shi'ism. ADVICE: This script includes the possibility of controlling the Fatimids faction or continue with the Aghlabids and fight against the invasion.

Soon you will see more advances.

Looks amazing :) I hope you will find some skillful 2d artist to make an appealing images for the new events. Btw. HRE faction colour on the minimap seems to me bit too bright and shining.
Re: [Preview] First Preview of script events
Nice !
Though the Ottonian armies differed already from the later Carolingian ones before Otto was crowned Emperor. But this is some dabbling at high level and I must say good work.

Do you mean the strat_map banners or the unit ones!
Because units have their own banners with their banner carriers!
Thanks to Absinthia , each German regional unit (please watch HRE preview) has its own regional banner.
Exept German knights that use all of them because they are suposed that gathered from all German provinces:

As for the Strat_map banners I can see that Miquel_80 made a realy good work that is shown in his preview pictures.
Watch the settelements and strat_map characters banners on his 2nd and 3rd pictures of his preview of the Transformation script of EF to HRE.
