Portugal micromod (updated to 1.03)

Sat Dec 22, 2007 4:09 pm

This is just an update of my "corrections", with patch 1.03

This is an attempt to correct a few mistakes referring to Portugal, in the 1808 peninsular campaign.
These changes are "cosmetic",and restricted to a minimum; I tried to keep a certain consistency between what was changed and the rest of the features and it was not my intention to change in the least any aspect of gameplay.

This was done in NCP version 1.03. So, you should first apply this patch.

The changes are:

A. Geography
1- Land regions:
- Zamora is now a spanish region (Zamora was allways a spanish town. This change leads to a small artifactual clipping of the northeast of Portugal. An alternative would be to change the name of the region to Bragança, a portuguese town. But I choose not to do it as this region is served in the game by a major road, and in the beginning of the 19th century there certainly was no major road in the northeast of Portugal)
- Villa Real is now Vila Real
- Douro estuary is now Estuário do Douro
- Oporto is now Porto
- Lower Tago is now Tejo
- Tago estuary is now Estuário do Tejo
- Beira is now Beja
- Lagos is now Faro
- Zafra is now Moura (Zafra is indeed a spanish town, to the southeas of Badajoz)
2 - Sea regions
- Costa do Oporto is now Costa do Minho
- Bahia de Setubal is now Baía de Setubal
- Cabo de Sao Vicente is now Cabo de São Vicente
- Ria Formosa is now Cabo de Santa Maria
- And changed also Cabo Fisterra to Cabo Finisterra, on the nortwest of Spain (being so obvious a mistake)

B. Military
- Garrison Peniche is now Garrison Lisboa
- Cuerpo de Taje is now Cuerpo del Tago (the spanish name for the river Tejo is Tajo, I believe. But I decided to keep Tago, as it is the name that is "hardcoded" on the spanish part of the map).

To apply this mod, simply unzip the files to the respective folders of the NCP folder of your game, over the original ones. As usual, you do this at your own risk, and should backup your original files to be safe. Alternatively you could use JSGME - the mod is arranged to be directly compatible with it. As it is a painless way to install and revert any compatible mod, I urge you to use it.
One of the files is the 1808.scn one; if you do not want to change it, know that the only things modified that depend on it (I think) are the region Zamora, now spanish spanish and the change in the names of Garrison Peniche and Cuerpo de Taje.

I made this mod only to try to correct some "minor" mistakes of NCP, to improve my personal enjoyment of the game. My choices are of course debatable but I believe are reasonable (one choice for instance as to do with accents. For example, Santarem should be spelled Santarém, but as it is also spelt without the accent in the NCP map, I decided to not change it).
Feel free to give suggestions and make your own modifications, which are easy to do.

Finally, I urge other interested players to contribute with their national knowledge to correct the map of their respective countries.

I do not doubt it. And probably there were other garrisons on the other forts of the coast of Cascais, etc. BUT Peniche is 55 Km away from Lisbon. It seems odd to give that name to a garrison that is fixed INSIDE Lisbon...
