History VideoGame / Europe1200

* ObviousBeta: The mod is explicitly qualified as an open beta by its developpers, and several factions are still to be added. The world map needs polishing and has some empty spaces (Greece and the African Mediterranean coast in the East of Tunisia have been modeled but there is nothing there).

* TheGump: Considering the number of historical characters present in the mod (some of them can be hired as companions), the player character is an example of this trope.

* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: More than fourty factions with (an unequal number of) lords and about thirty hirable companions. More factions and companions are planned to be added.

* DirtyOldMonk: The prelates serving as lords have the same dialog as the other lords, which can lead to some seemingly OutOfCharacter answers if a female player character tries to flirt with one. TruthInTelevision (but maybe AccidentallyCorrectWriting): although it wasn't so common in the Middle Ages, some prelates did have concubines and children.

''Europe 1200'' is a ''[[VideoGame/MountAndBlade Mount & Blade: Warband]]'' mod (an obsolete version has been developed for the original version of the game), centered on the Europe of the beginning of the [=XIIIth=] century. It features more than forty factions (from the major ones like France, England, Venice, Castile, Holy Roman Empire, etc., to several very minor) and about thirty brand new hirable companions (some of theme are based on historical characters, fictional characters from medieval legends, or fictional characters from modern medieval-themed culture). It takes place in Europe from South of Scandinavia to the Mediterranean coast, and from Portugal to West of Russia (Eastern Roman Empire isn't part of the mod yet, but is intended to be added in a future version of the mod). It also features the British Isles and the coast of North Africa.

* UsefulNotes/MoorishSpain: One of the places appearing in the mod. As it is set in 1200, the Moorish part of Spain is quite reduced.

* QuicksandBox: A world map large as Europe, more than forty factions, several dozens of villages, castles, and towns ''per faction'', and no main quest at all.

** Nicollo Antonio Pollo: Not really an historical character, he is supposed to be a fictional member of the family of Marco Polo.

* DirtyOldMonk: The prelates serving as lords have the same dialog as the other lords, which can lead to some seemingly OutOfCharacter answers if a female player character tries to flirt with one.
** TruthInTelevision (but maybe AccidentallyAccurate). Although it wasn't so common in the Middle Ages, some prelates did have concubines and children.

* {{Expy}}: Roger z Rykach is an obvious expy of [[Franchise/TheWitcher Gerald of Rivia]]: he is a mêlée fighter starting the game with a leather armour and a two-handed sword. He also states that he is Polish (''The Witcher'' is set in a FantasyCounterpartCulture of Poland) and was left for dead (and amnesiac) after a meeting with a mob of angry peasants armed with pitchforks, like Gerald. Another clue is his weapon: he starts the game with a unique sword named "Watcher of the Old Sea Keep". "Old Sea Keep" is the meaning of "Kaer Morhen", the name of the witchers' fortress.

''Europe 1200'' is a ''[[VideoGame/MountAndBlade Mount & Blade: Warband]]'' mod (an obsolete version has been developed for the original version of the game), centered on the Europe of the beginning of the [=XIIIth=] century. It features more than forty factions (from the major ones like France, England, Venita, Castile, Holy Roman Empire, etc., to several very minor) and about thirty brand new hirable companions (some of theme are based on historical characters, fictional characters from medieval legends, or fictional characters from modern medieval-themed culture). It takes place in Europe from South of Scandinavia to the Mediterranean coast, and from Portugal to West of Russia (Eastern Roman Empire isn't part of the mod yet, but is intended to be added in a future version of the mod). It also features the British Isles and the coast of North Africa.

* NeverMessWithGranny: [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eleanor_of_Aquitaine Eleanor of Aquitaine]] is one of the English lords. Historically, she is the mother of the then English king ([[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John,_King_of_England John Lackland]]) and was 78 in 1200 (which was very old in this era). Ingame, she is like others lords, so she leads her troops on the battlefield and fight among them.

** More generally, a few of the historically-correct heroes look too young (Blondel de Nesle was fourty-five years old in 1200) or too old (Ibn Arabi was thirty-five years old in 1200, but he appears as an old man) compared to how they would actually look.
* BadassBookworm: Some of the hirable heroes are actually famous historical characters from the medieval intellectual world. For example, Hildegard of Bingen was a nun and a mystic, Ibn Arabi was a philosopher (ingame he is the most skilled character in engineering), and the modders plan to add later the mathematician Leonardo Fibonacci, the writer Wolfram von Eschenbach, and some other {{BadassBookworm}}s.

* {{Expy}}: Roger z Rykach is an obvious expy of [[Franchise/TheWitcher Gerald of Rivia]]: he is a mêlée fighter starting the game with a leather armour and a two-handed sword, and his hair sports the same kind of ponytail that Gerald in the first ''Videogame/The Witcher'' videogame. He also states that he is Polish (''The Witcher'' is set in a FantasyCounterpartCulture of Poland) and was left for dead after a meeting with a mob of angry peasants armed with pitchforks, like Gerald. Another clue is his weapon: he starts the game with a unique sword named "Watcher of the Old Sea Keep". "Old Sea Keep" is the meaning of Kaer Morhen, the name of the witchers fortress.

* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: Forty-four factions with (an unequal number of) lords and twenty-seven hirable companions. More factions and companions are currently planned to be added.

* ObviousBeta: The mod is explicitly qualified as an open beta by its developpers. Among its issues, the game itself has some stability issues, the "Save As" menu crashes the game, the factions are far from being balanced, the world map needs polishing and has some empty spaces (Greece and the African Mediterranean coast in the East of Tunisia have been modeled but there is nothing there).
* QuicksandBox: A world map large as Europe, more than forty factions, and several dozens of villages, castles and towns.

* YoungFutureFamousPeople: One of the heroes is a young Francis of Assisi.

* MoorishSpain: One of the places appearing in the mod. As it is set in 1200, the Moorish part of Spain is quite reduced.

** The actual William Tell is a legendary character (or historically controversed, at best) who is involved in the fictionalized account of event from the [=XIVth=] century.
** Roger Godberd birthdate is not known, the actual man died in 1276, making hardly possible for him to be adult in 1200.

** More generally, a few of the historically-correct heroes looks too young (Blondel de Nesle was fourty-five years old in 1200) or too old (Ibn Arabi was thirty-five years old in 1200, but he appears as an old man) compared to how they would actually look.

** Some factions have bishops or archbishop as lords and commanders. It means that there is sometimes an army led on the battlefield by a prelate. It is TruthInTelevision.

** The lords occasionally give a quest in which the player has to slaughter several dozens of revolted peasans.

* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: Forty-four factions with (an inequal number of) lords and twenty-seven hirable companions. More factons and companions are planned to be added.

* ObviousBeta: The mod is explicitly qualified as an open beta by its developpers. Among its issues, the game itself has some stability issues, the "Save As" menu crashes the game, the factions are far from being balanced, the worldmap needs polishing work and has some empty spaces (Greece and the African Mediterranean coast in the East of Tunisia have been modelised but there is nothing there).
* QuicksandBox: A worldmap huge as Europe, more than forty factions, and several dozens of villages / castles / towns.
* {{Pirate}}: There are now bandits on the sea. Note that they are the same units than the land bandits, technically they are only land bandits travelling on the sea.
* PublicDomainCharacter: Some of the heroes are characters taken from medieval folklore, legends, and litterature:

Its worldmap represents Europe (from South of Scandinavia to Mediterranean coast, and from Portugal to Poland, and the British Isles) and coast of the medieval equivalents of Morocco, Algeria, and Tunisia.

* HistoricalHeroUpgrade / BadassBookworm / BadassPreacher: Some of the heroes based on historical characters are a badass version of famous people who actually were monks / nuns, trouvères / troubadours, or philosophers.
