Naval Battles:


Cape Rachado

The battle of Cape Rachado was fought between the Dutch and the Portuguese fleets in the year 1606 near Cape Rachado, Malacca. In this setting, the Dutch fleet consists of 11 ships lead by Admiral Cornelis Matelief de Jonge while the Portuguese fleet has 20 ships lead by vice-roy Martim Afonso de Castro. Even though the Dutch lost this battle, it was enough to convince the Sultanate of Johor to support the Dutch in the Dutch-Portuguese War, and eventually end the Portuguese supremacy in the region.

1st Cape Finisterre

The First battle of Cape Finisterre was fought between the British and the French in the year 1747 and was a part of the War of the Austrian Succession. In this setting you’ll find 7 British warships attacking a 15-ship French convoy. The British fleet is commanded by Admiral George Anson while Admiral de la Jonquière is commanding the French fleet. The British victory ensured the promotion of George Anson to Vice Admiral. The French summoned a bigger convoy later, which lost another battle at the Cape Finisterre, leading to the end of French naval operations for the rest of the war.

Battle of San Juan de Ulúa

The battle of San Juan de Ulúa was fought between English privateers and Spanish forces in the year 1568. In this setting the English privateers have 5 ships commanded by John Hawkins and the Spanish forces have 3 ships commanded by Francisco Luján. The privateers were anchored at San Juan de Ulúa for repairs and resupply when a Spanish escort fleet arrived in the port. Because of a treaty between the two nations the privateers were not afraid for their safety. However, the privateers had been plundering for a full year and Luján was aware of this and swiftly attacked the privateer fleet. Swift attack and the capture of the island’s bastion ensured the Spanish victory.

Commander: Conquest of the Americas Mods

https://www.moddb.com/games/commander-conquest-of-the-americas/downloads


Commander Realism mod v1.0
https://www.moddb.com/games/commander-conquest-of-the-americas/downloads/commander-realism-mod-v1-0

realism mod v1.0.
Place all extracted file into the installation folder.

-----------------------------------------------

agibaer's NEW NATIONS mod
https://www.moddb.com/games/commander-conquest-of-the-americas/downloads/agibaer-s-new-nations-mod

Already used to the old nations in CotA? Replace them with 7 new ones!

The New Nations are:
- The Ottoman Empire
- Moscow (representing Russia)
- Scotland
- Poland
- Lithuania
- The Papal States (representing Italy)
- Ming Dynasty (representing China)
- The Hansa (Germany)


Installation:

Simply overwrite your "Data" folder in "Paradox Interactive/Commander/" with the "New Nations" Data folder.
There is also a "Backup" folder in the Zip file, containing all the original files. If you want to play the normal game again, simply overwrite the Data folder with the one in "Backup"!


-----------------------------------------------

agibaer's historical names mod
https://www.moddb.com/mods/agibaers-historical-names/downloads/agibaer-s-historical-names-mod

All names are historical from the late 15th, the 16th and 17th century.

Replaces the namepools.txt in "paradox interactive/commander/data/ai/"

All old names in the file were removed and replaced with historical names from the late 15th, the 16th and 17th century.

All forenames and surnames are the names of actual captains or admirals from the respective country.

All shipnames are from ships that were built by or in service of the respective country.

Exception: Empire: I wasn't able to find enough leader names or ship names, due to the lack of unity in the empire and mising ship registers from the Hansa.
So I took common names and surnames (mostly northern german) or noble family names; for the ships, those who are not historical are all named "Wappen von (coat-of-arms of)", since that name giving was common in Hansa fleet.

Also I included historical pirates up to 1700 and their ships.
I know pirate names don't show up, but in case of a (likely) pirate expansion for CotA I am prepared

-----------------------------------------------

Agibaer's Sweden Mod
https://www.moddb.com/games/commander-conquest-of-the-americas/addons/agibaer-s-sweden-mod

Any swedes out there? Now you can play your nation in CotA!


Changes:

-Most of the graphic files were already in CotA, as Sweden was supposed to be in the game but was later dropped.
So I only had to modify some of the flag files; the naval uniforms are such as the developers had made them.
-I added historical swedish names for commanders and ships (my historical names mod is included).
-Sweden replaces the Empire in the Game!

Install:

-Overwrite your "paradox interactive/commander/data" folder with the one in the mod file.
-There is also a backup included with all the files that have been modified. So if you want to restore the original game, just overwrite the "data" folder with the one in the "backup" dir of the mod.
-You can also use the mod on any existing savegame, all things HRE will be replaced with Sweden.
