Norrvägen will give you the opportunity to plunge into Scandinavian history, feel like one of the founders of the Viking Age and be the ruler of any existing state in Scandinavia at different times. It is planned to create at least 20 scenarios of different scales, whether it is the entire map, strewn with tribes and clans, or local conflicts, seasoned with events. Well, a few alternatives do not hurt.

The main feature of the mod is a new map, currently consisting of 2261 provinces. The map province template was created by me personally, drawn by hand based on data from various historical sources, and includes a fairly accurate historical and modern administrative division.
From the images below, you can see that the map includes not only Scandinavia, but also Britain, the Northern parts of Russia and Germany, as well as part of the Baltic States. These lands were added for historicity. For example, England and Baltica are present for the reason that the Vikings often organized campaigns in England and the Baltic States, which seriously affected the history of these peoples.
In addition to the typical work on the map, I will create an atmospheric soundtrack, thematic interface, and other nice "accessories" to the mod.

Innovations of mod:
► New worked map of Northern Europe (2263 provinces). There are borders for 10 centuries of history on this map;
• About 1700 cities;
• Two backgrounds: Minimalistic (main) and Realistic (alternative);
• 11 Scenarios:
- Regional Conflicts (2017);
- Great Northern War (1700) ;
- Swedish War For Independence (1521);
- Kalmar Union (1397);
- 1164;
- William The Conqueror (1066);
- New Millennium (1000);
-  Christianization Of Denmark (980);
- Rage of Normanns (850);
- The Beginning of The Viking Age;
• Great scenario "Rage of Normanns" with a lot of events;
• 95 formable civilizations;
• Edited and new added terrain types;

► Gameplay innovations:
• New leaders with portraits (some of them were colored by me);
• New Ages in game timeline system;
• New Governments:
- The monarchy was divided into two forms of government: Absolute and Elective. I don't think there's much to tell.
- Chiefdom is the main ideology for the countries of the "ancient" eras. In fact, it is a collective image of various jarldoms and small tribal unions.
- Tanistri is a form of government for the Irish and Scottish clans, of which there are many in some scenarios.
- Althing is a unique form of government for Iceland. The Althing is one of the oldest parliaments in the world: at first, the word Althing meant people's meetings of the first Icelandic settlers, where various issues were resolved and future plans of the communities were discussed. Now the Althing is called the Parliament of modern Iceland.
- Theocracy - a form of government based on religious principles. It will be a unique government for the Teutonic Order, etc.
• Edited game code. For example, we added feature of changing leaders (check here).

► Other innovations:
• More than 500 new civilizations;
• UI was changed. It is still original UI but in pleasant black and white shade. Also a new font;
• Atmospheric music (40 tracks) and changed sounds.
• Pleasant Pallet of Civilizations Colours.

DOWNLOAD (PC)

Installation: Move the folder from the archive to the desktop. To start the game, go to the folder and run either AoC2.jar, or AoC2.exe (there are changes to the game code on the jar).

I want to note that the mod was released earlier than the stated deadline, because I do not yet have the opportunity and desire to continue working due to my studies and other circumstances. But I don't want it to just get dusty on my hard drive, so I decided to share what I have. Rage of Normans scenario with events was not completed.
Have a nice game.

Also check my mod about British Isles:

Major/Small Cities:
a feature that increases the geographical position of states

New Scenarios:
1500,1648,1756(beta) scenarios added

New Icons: better than those icons we're tired of seeing

New Scales:
added new 2 scales (8,11)

Have you ever wondered how radically different the ancient world might have been? What if the Neo-Assyrian Empire had survived, or if Carthage had defeated Rome and ceased the ascend of Rome? Epochs of Antiquity lets you explore every alternate path. There will be many scenarios ranging from 612 BC up to the split of the Roman Empire.

This mod has done thorough and detailed work on major and minor civilizations in the form of extensive research for both of them, aiming for a historically accurate touch yet offering players plenty of possibilities to alter history as they wish. Indeed, every history passionated person is going to find the nation he loves to play and explore.

Politically, a large number of ideologies and government forms are represented. This diversity politically speaking is a true mirror of the ancient world, monarchies, republics, chiefdoms, punic nations, and many other types all presenting different and exciting ways to experience the game.

Sicily and Carthage

Southern Italy

Kyrenaike

What to expect

• A massive timeline from 612 BC to the split of the Roman Empire
• Hundreds (and eventually thousands) of civilizations
• Content across Europe, North Africa, and Asia
• Immense historical accuracy
• Expanding mechanics and features
• And much more 😉

Development began in mid-September 2024. Initially, it solved the integer limit issue in the base game, then progressively rolled out player experience optimizations. By early this year, updates unexpectedly paused...

Come mid-February, updates miraculously resumed. The creator shared his work within his mini-game community platform.

Over these four months, game re-optimization updates were systematically implemented. New features now make it a fundamentally distinct mod from the original.

Important: This mod remains in early development. Some features are work-in-progress or contain minor issues—please maintain reasonable expectations.

Version 1.0.7.2 Release Notes

• The Definitive Edition of Age of Civilizations II is coming soon, and we plan to release this version ahead of its launch.
• Due to various reasons, we have to continuously refactor the national focus system, so it remains unfinished in this version. We ask for your understanding.
• Versions 1.0.7.0 and 1.0.7.1 contained many bugs, so we prioritized player experience. We also apologize for the long delay in this update.
• This version fixes numerous issues from previous releases and further optimizes certain aspects. For details, please refer to the changelog.
• Thank you for your support.

# Zetvl Mod Full Update Summary (Sept 2024 – Apr 12 2026)

The engine was updated to LibGDX 1.13 and later reverted to 1.9.14 for stability. The game was successfully ported to Android on Feb 24 2025 with version 1.0.5.0 released, featuring crash window, Toast notifications, popup animations, background optimization and multi-resolution support.
• Integrated BE combat and surrender systems, enhanced tech suppression effect in wars, displayed surrender progress in war panel, and added dynamic surrender overlay above 80% progress. Only Heartland provinces count toward surrender calculation; territories are automatically distributed to top contributors upon capitulation, and capitulated civilizations cannot launch wars. Added nuclear weapon system with AI deployment capability, global nuclear events, and console commands for nuclear control. Fixed civilian casualties being counted as military losses and added detailed casualty source display.
• Introduced manpower, occupied manpower, government support rate, standard and strict supply systems; low happiness or over-expansion may reduce support and trigger revolutions. Added delayed recruitment, AI recruitment logic, and automation features including auto-build, auto-invest, auto-recruit, auto-attack and auto-assimilation. Added three province core types (Heartland/Occupied Territory/Colony), optimized occupation sovereignty rules, and vassal system with color synchronization and war/diplomacy restrictions.
• Greatly improved province auto-connection efficiency by 90%, supported province file packing, AoH3-to-AoH2 map migration, and JSON-formatted terrain data. Added demilitarized zone (DMZ) function configurable via scenario editor, events and decisions.
• Overhauled UI with TNO-inspired super event UI, HOI4-style loading screen, animated main/loading backgrounds, non-linear easing animations for menus and transitions. Improved map zoom with smooth name fading, dynamic city rendering, and vassal color sync. Supported custom borders, menu backgrounds, fonts, textures, color templates and music playback with playlist and auto-scanning for MP3/OGG files.
• National Focus system was moved into core, rebuilt, and enhanced with visible active focuses, completion popups, and improved editor supporting connection editing. Event system was upgraded with colored tooltips, multicolor text, audio linkage, search function, leader replacement, exit war effect and global event broadcasting. The event editor now supports music, super-event and global event data with saving issues fixed.
• Added observer mode, borderless window, real-time debug log panel, expanded console commands, and configurable flag position. Improved scenario editor with higher sliders, starting population setup and tech editor fixes. Optimized loading speed, memory leaks, rendering logic, in-game lag and various UI glitches. Unified file I/O to UTF-8 encoding, standardized configuration files, removed unused libraries and fixed save-loading, nuke construction and other known bugs.

What is the mod about?

This mod combines many mods across the AoH2 community (including Russian mods and a couple of Chinese mods) and it shall be one of the largest AoH2 mods of all time. The concept came from my previous combination projects and also how influential Megamod was before that collapsed. This includes NWR, Sieg Redux, World Ablaze, World Crisis, QBAM and many, many others!

Are there any issues with the mod?

There are a few problems with the mod though and it is that a port of the mod to the smaller screens won't be available due to the file integer limit so it is only exclusively on PCs unless if someone finds a way to port the mod. There are also many bugs in the mod as I'm typing this and because of my personal life piloting when I can mod, it will take quite a long time to get everything to function properly. I do assure you that quite a few of the civilizations may have flags in the wrong ideologies or have no available tags and because I have a separate career to turn to, just feel free to make community additions to it. Do whatever you want, whether it is crazy, experimental or just some simple flags; it is your choice.

Will there be any release of the mod?

For now, the mod is in private until further notice. Apologies for not getting your hopes up for this huge mod I worked on.

PC: [Unavailable until further notice]

📱: [There is no chance unless a miracle happens]
 

I've already posted a version of this mod before,, but TLDR, AoCII+Cats is a personal mod project i have, which adds a bunch of things that i think make the game more engaging; the first version was just very general changes that didn't really touch the game's code, but I've actually worked on a 1.1 and a 1.2, which actually do touch the game's code a bunch.

 here's the link to download the mod!! (which is still android only btw) ---> https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/18DsTqMQ5oYBTHrTJZDDE44FJE8O6uNxS?usp=sharing

there's also a changelog on da folder if you want to read it (it's recommended even, bc there's a lot of little changes)

sooo what about future updates???

I'm not very satisfied with the state of the mod right now; the game can crash or freeze at seemingly random, and the way i added some features was pretty sloppy.

so for 1.3 I'm planning to rebuild the mod from scratch, as well as taking in suggestions for changes and future features :3

I'd like to make the mod both android and pc compatible for 1.3, but I'd prolly need some assistance for that..

I'd also like to have a true main scenario for future versions, which will probably be 1440, but I'm not super sure yet.

sheller out for now

CURRENT PROGRESS:

RELEASE: Late July - Early August

This mod, made from the maker of "The Second Great War" will revolutionize and forever change the way you play age of History 2, by making the game into an entirely new experience, more difficult yet more interesting.

The mod will focus on the concept of Empire in the modern era's terms, like colonial empires and expansionist states, as well as a new and more in depth look into your country and what events happened to it between the eras.

The mod will add over 30 new scenarios, hundreds of new countries, alternate histories, real histories and much more.

THE MAIN FOCUS:

The main starting date is in 1815, just after the Congress of Vienna. This mod introduces objectives which your nation will need to complete to gain bonuses and the upper hand on other countries of the era, through the new ideology-based system of "industrialization". Following 5 ideologies, the development level of your country will go from uncivilized, to civilized, to non-industrialized (where European and colonial nations start as) , to partially industrialized, and finally industrialized. These ideologies will allow for greater growth and bigger armies as you upgrade them, bringing to armies on the hundreds of thousands being a normality in AOI (Age of Imperialism)'s battles.

Aggressiveness has also been reworked, with the minimum now being 0% , which is highly suggested for scenarios with events.

Among other things, AOI will include:

- a new exclusive map created by the fusion of all terrain maps from the popular game Victoria II👑

- over 200 new provinces to make borders look better and create better "greater countries"⚔️

- 30 new scenarios 💥

- 5 scenarios of the 30 will include events ( for example the highly anticipated realistic world war 1 scenario, and the world war 2 scenario coming straight from The Second Great War mod, so you will be able to delete that mod since this one will include it in it's entirety)⚜️

-1 completely new "CONGRESS OF VIENNA" scenario with objectives, revolutions, industrialization mechanics, new colonial mechanics , historical and alternate history events and much more.⚙️

- A completely new UI✅

- new music🎶

This project is being worked on by a small modding team (Starfruit, Greenlion, James, stefan ecc...) headed by Italian P&C, so the progress, although slow, will keep going forward. It is my intention to release the mod this summer, as soon as it is finished.

The only thing asked in exchange for the working on this mod is that you subscribe to the mod's creator on Youtube, Italian P&C: https://youtube.com/channel/UCD-hWGkNIC8PaEEcA2bnV5g

AD NOVA AURORA is a “Victorian Era” based scenario, which will try to include different polities which existed during said time period. From the renewed map of Post Napoleonic Europe, to the fairly recent Latin American republics, and from the Great Plains of the Midwest North America, to the princely states of India. A world full of possibilities, situated just at the dawn of a new era, with the rise of nationalism, colonization and new political ideologies.

The difference between this version, and the previous one I made in the “scenarios” category (and the Conqueror’s scenario too), is that now (after some decisions here and there), we decided to include more content to the mod (we also won’t be using Addon+ as the base of the mod this time).

The bigger difference to the original would also be the inclusion of a “revamped” version of the map, where, instead of creating a totally new one, this one will be based off the vanilla one, but with a lot of modified provinces (so the borders of the 19^th and early 20^th century were possible to represent).

Link to our discord: https://discord.gg/FNVgp5ZDtR

Link to our “previous” versions (The 1830 scenario: “Dawn of an Era”):

 The original scenario thread, where you can DOWNLOAD THE BETA, and see the development of the first stage of the mod:

“Conqueror’s” port. The scenario is also present in the mod from version 1.5 onwards. This version also fixed some things of the previous beta above:

What we’ve already added/are working mostly into it:

•          More provinces for the vanilla map
•          Over 300+ new nations from all over the world. We plan to up this number even more, with ton of new possible nations for the player to choose from.
•          New flags for a lot of the civs, giving the change of ideologies a different aesthetic and identity too.
•          A “perfected” version of the 1830 start date scenario.
•          New Music, to give a much more atmospheric feeling to the player. 
•          New ideologies, with custom icons. This ideologies will try to reflect the different currents of political thought that either already existed or appeared during those years.
•          An original alternate history scenario, based off a premise we can’t reveal (for now!).
•          New Formable nations, from historical sources, to other more “fictional” ones.

·         Changes to various names of things (example: Change “vassal” to “protectorate”, change “diseases” to “situations”, etc).

What we plan to do in the future:

•          New scenarios, going from the Congress of Vienna to the early years of the 20^th century.
•          Events for different scenarios.
•          New UI and sounds.
•          The option to change AI aggressiveness to 0.
•          Hopefully, a new Map Background.
•          New terrain pictures.

Those are our “achievable” goals. We could try to reach other things, but we don’t want to be too ambitious hahaha. We will probably be working by “stages”, trying to complete objectives little by little (this mod will probably take some time to be completed, but we will probably release beta versions, or an initial release with expansions coming after).

I’ll use this thread to post important advancements or “Dev Diaries” (maybe even the “To Fix” section I had in the scenario thread could return here). Also, most answers could be either done by me or @Commieslav, in case someone has a question about the mod. Most “instant info” will probably be given at the discord.

I want to also give a huge thanks to everyone who has given me and the team either help, encouragement, congratulations, corrections, and useful critics to the “predecessor” of this mod! We hope to bring even more enjoyable content to the community with this one too!

This update adds 600+ new provinces which includes

Changes in the Balkans 

New Islands

Better Central America

Better South America

Better Anatolia

Better North Africa

Completely new Ethiopia

Better South Africa

Completely new Indochina

Changes on China and Eastern Russia

And Most important: Antartica: 

Besides all of this, the mod includes twenty new scenarios and 340 new formable civilizations.

Admittedly, the provinces are messy, there are many very tiny provinces and there are a few that can't be clicked but overall this is a significant milestone. Make sure to also launch the jar file from command prompt.

For now, the mod would only have the map and the base civilizations in order to let you guys experiment with the map's capabilities and also there is only 2 really WIP scenarios.

(also it is up to the community to fix and improve the mod, I'm not that good at modding anyways lol. Feel free to add your own stuff into it if you want to make high-fidelity maps).

For years, we have been creating scenarios and events restricted to static images. We add a picture of a war, and it just sits there. A picture of a nuclear explosion? Static. But not anymore.
 

I have been digging into the source code and I realized something crucial: Age of History 2 runs on LibGDX.

Why does this matter? Because LibGDX natively supports complex animations via TextureAtlas and Animation classes. The code was always there, sleeping inside the game engine, just waiting for someone to wake it up.

I have successfully implemented fully animated, looping events without breaking the original game compatibility.

 

🚀 What I Achieved

I modified the Menu_InGame_Event.java class. The logic is simple but powerful:

1. When the game tries to load an event picture (e.g., war.png), my code first checks if a .atlas file exists with that name (e.g., war.atlas).
2. If it exists: It ignores the static image and loads the SpriteSheet using the Atlas, creating a smooth loop animation.
3. If it doesn't exist: It falls back to the default code, loading the static .png or .jpg just like the vanilla game.

This means you can have animated events and static events in the same scenario without any bugs!

 

// Logic inside Menu_InGame_Event Constructor
String sEventRawName = CFG.eventsManager.getEvent(EVENT_ID).getEventPicture();
String sBaseName = sEventRawName; // remove extension logic...

// Check if the .atlas exists
if (Gdx.files.internal("UI/events/" + sBaseName + ".atlas").exists()) {
    // Load the Atlas and create the Animation
    this.modAtlas = new TextureAtlas(Gdx.files.internal("UI/events/" + sBaseName + ".atlas"));
    Array<AtlasRegion> regions = this.modAtlas.findRegions(sBaseName);
    this.modAnimation = new Animation(0.15f, regions, Animation.PlayMode.LOOP);
    this.isAnimatedEvent = true;
}

The Rendering (The Draw Method):
We use stateTime (delta time) to calculate which frame to show:

In the draw() method, instead of drawing the static Image object, you use the stateTime (delta time) to get the current frame from your Animation and draw it using the SpriteBatch.

// Inside the draw() method
if (this.isAnimatedEvent && this.modAnimation != null) {
    this.stateTime += Gdx.graphics.getDeltaTime();
    TextureRegion currentFrame = this.modAnimation.getKeyFrame(this.stateTime, true);
    
    // Draw the current frame
    oSB.draw(currentFrame, x, y, width, height);
    
    // Force the game to keep rendering (otherwise it pauses on static screens)
    CFG.setRender_3(true);
}

📂 How to make your own Animations

You don't need to be a coder to use this once the code is in the game. You just need:

1. A SpriteSheet: A PNG containing all frames of your animation.
2. An .atlas file: This maps the frames. You can generate this using GDX Texture Packer (Use the Legacy settings/version, this is crucial!).
3. Place both in UI/events/.

I am attaching an example (SoldierRunning.atlas and SoldierRunning.png) so you can test it yourselves.

 

🌟 The Future

Imagine the possibilities:

• Events with soldiers actually marching.
• Nuclear explosions that animate.
• Flags waving in the event wind.
• News tickers scrolling.

The engine was always capable of this; we just had to write the lines to let it speak!

Although I used it for events, it's more than that and can be used in any other contexts or images!

I am not releasing my file, not because I wanna lock knowledge, it's because I think it's simple to people to do, and because my code is full of nonsense (like superevents, etc)
I will send a .gif file showing the use of it (what I achieved!)

The map I will be using is the Blue marble map and it will be around 10481 in Width, and 4041 in Height. It will only include Africa-Asia, And europe. Sadly, not alot of the north. This will be my biggest creation yet. And filling it out will be a pain. I just hope people will enjoy this mod.

Now for whats currently in the works.

This Is an image of Siciliy including Phoenician Colonies On the coast of africa

And this is an image of the greek colony, Kyrenaike (Cyrenaica)

This is an image of Kemetian Egypt (Barely finished) Aswell as The kingdom of the Philistines and a bit of colonies in cyprus.

I have also added a new ideology for phoenician colonies.

And that's the current progress. I've come to finish it once more.

I'm taking any advice or any requests if they seem helpful. Feel free to leave in some feedback.

This is my first mod i have been privately working on for a month or two, its planned to add a new highly detailed map of former western roman empire territories

Some countries have placeholder flags, colors, leaders, etc. I just needed to get the scenarios done for now
(Also, not planning to make too many changes to the code itself, its supposed to just be an expansive map)

Also, i dont actually know how to make this mod accessible for others, so if someone could let me know thanks

screenshots:
271 AD - Crisis of the Third Century

1000 AD

1836 AD - Victorian Era

July 12th 1943 - Allied Invasion of Italy

2022 AD - Modern Day

Provinces Map (1/31/2022)

Screenshots have been slightly altered so they all line up

If there are any errors with the scenarios feel free to correct them

im also very new to modding this game in general so yeah
the first release could be any time from 1 week to 2 months from now depending on how long i take

Anyone wondering about my old post: I decided to scale this map in particular back immensely because I feel that if it were to actually be a full globe map it could cause extreme lag even on powerful devices, so I have decided to make a seperate map which will be larger for the full globe, and keep this current map as a map for former territories of the western roman empire/roman empire. It is also a good test bed for future projects of mine, and to improve on my modding in general.
