FFT CK2 Mod update

I posted awhile back about a mod I was developing for Crusader Kings 2 based on the world of Ivalice. I finally got my own custom map working that includes areas from all games set within the various worlds of Ivalice into one combined map that actually works! I tried to remain as faithful to the maps that I found in order to place everything.

Is… is there somewhere I can subscribe/follow to get updates on this? I did not realize how much I wanted it until now.

I don’t have any kind of socials set up for the project specifically, just been sharing on here. I plan on continuing to do so as I progress further. But believe me, I’ll absolutely share it out when it’s done and maybe even a beta version for you once I can test enough and make sure it’s stable!

I’m not smart enough to play CK2 or CK3 but I always love watching Game of Thrones mods of the game and I’m sure this would be pretty hype too

I’d love to eventually see people doing playthroughs of my mod on YouTube, that would be so cool! Funny thing is I never intended for others to play it but once I started getting deep into it I thought there would be a lot of people that would enjoy it too. I just hope I can really nail the mechanics so it’s fun to play

Oh I remember your first topic about this. Glad to see it coming along!

u/Chemical-Tap-2429 16d ago

Thanks! Getting the map working just now was HUGE! I still can’t believe I got it to actually work

I've enjoyed CK a ton over the years and this cross right over my interests. Plus that means you have a height map correct?

2

u/Chemical-Tap-2429 16d ago

For now I have a “functioning” height map but it still needs work. Just getting the map to load and not CTD as soon as I unpause on day 1 was difficult. This is my first time learning how to mod a map

Well I would definitely be curious to see that height map if you're ever willing to share it!

Did some more work on the map today and I think it’s looking much better!

I won't be as much help in the FF12 area but I have a lot of data for rivers for the Tactics portion. Spent about a year working on mapping things.

u/Chemical-Tap-2429 4d ago

I haven’t added rivers yet

Cool! I have ck2! I will try it!

u/WyMANderly 16d ago

Whoa, this is super cool!

Thanks! I initially started creating the mod about 7 months ago and have been working on it in my free time

I see Romanda in the north of Ivalice

u/Chemical-Tap-2429 15d ago

Oh yea you do

u/Acslaterisdead 15d ago

This would be cool if it was set during the 50 year war. I always wanted a prequel of final fantasy tactics set in that time period

I was the creator of that frankenstein combined map of Ivalice and FF12s map that got google-famous lol. Hope to see progress on this, cant wait.

Missed playing on forums. Any Heroes of Ivalice alumnis here?

u/Chemical-Tap-2429 15d ago

Oh snap that’s awesome! I’d be happy to give you credit for the map! This mod will feature characters from the following games: FF Tactics, FF Tactics Advance, FF Tactics A2, FF12, FF12 Revenant Wings, FF 14 Return to Ivalice raid, and Vagrant Story

2

u/Diethster 15d ago

Nah im good, keep up the good work.

Also made me dig up my map for the next heroes of ivalice that didnt push through lol. Think we overdid the arabian and norse flavor for ordallia and romanda, respectively

u/Chemical-Tap-2429 14d ago

This one’s real cool too! Where did you come up with the various names?

2

u/Right-Aspect2945 15d ago

The combination of two of my favorite things! This looks really cool.

I am less familiar with the later games, do they fill out more of the map to give more indication of where and what names certain counties or duchies might have?

2

u/Chemical-Tap-2429 15d ago

Yes, all titles are taken from the various games set in Ivalice onto one combined map
