The Dream yet to be Dreamed (English Translation)

Description
This is a full English translation of the mod 未有之梦 The Dream yet to be Dreamed, an alt history set in a Europe torn by religious strife.

This is NOT a standalone version; the base mod must be installed and enabled alongside the translation.
"Chinese Language Mod for 1.37" is not required.

Setting Overview

  • After the death of Alfonso III "the Great" of Asturias, the kingdom was divided among his three sons. The youngest son, Fruela II, eventually inherited his father's legacy from his brothers, reuniting the kingdom and ruling it steadily until his old age. The wave of reconquest that followed forced the Taifa states of the post-Umayyad caliphate to seek help from the Almoravid dynasty, leading to a sweeping invasion across the peninsula. Ultimately, the Christian kingdoms and the Taifa states joined forces to repel the North African invaders. Alfonso "The Brave"'s Knight-Commander, the famous El Cid, landed in Mauritania, establishing a crusader kingdom. However, endless succession disputes provided the Taifa states with a respite, and Iberia remains ununified to this day.

  • Meanwhile, across the Mediterranean, the crusaders' endeavors flourished. Frederick II formed an alliance with the Ayyubid family of Egypt, consolidating and expanding his throne in Jerusalem. After returning to his homeland, the disunited papacy was no match for the emperor. Frederick ultimately won the Pope's support, ensuring the eternal continuity of the Hohenstaufen Empire. Roger of Sicily established the Kingdom of Africa, which took root amidst the ruins of the old Roman province, and the Maghreb pagans all bowed in submission.

  • However, the empire remains in the eye of the storm. A North-South war swept the empire, causing all of Northern Germany to break away. The Lombard League in the south also poses a serious threat to the emperor. The Capetian dynasty of France chose the wrong side in the Albigensian Crusade and was dismembered by the empire, leaving the mess to be managed by the Governor of Anjou in distant England. England itself was turned into a scorched land during the Norman and Viking conquests and continues to struggle in fragmentation, forced to cling to the Lowland cities for support. After the North Sea Empire fell apart, Knut's descendants once again recovered Britain and invaded Sweden and Northern Rus. However, the eastern lands have rejected Christianity and gained independence, making this antiquated behemoth difficult to sustain.

  • In the east, the entire Balkans bear the mark of the "Blind" Dandolo and his crusaders, while Rus and further east showcase the legacy of the highly sinicized Mongol cavalry. Under the rule of the Latin Empire, Greek nobles' rebellions have never ceased. In Luxembourg-ruled Hungary, the Teutonic Order remains vigilant against Cuman invasions, despite the fact that their German compatriots in Pest and the local nobles alike are tired of them.

Version 1.1 – The Iron Century

Recommended Nations (Recently Updated): Brandenburg, France, Bohemia, Brittany, Valencia, Thessaly

Amidst the fields trampled by war and in a cottage destroyed by fire lies an anonymous sonnet:
Pile high the sturdy logs upon the Rhine’s shore! / Raise a pyre for the body’s burning! / Let roaring flames encircle it! / Let fire’s torrents surge to the heavens!
The knight within the inferno, / The golden Valkyrie sings— / The gods’ reign now meets its end, / O twilight’s beloved, till death parts us! / Now I claim my inheritance: / From this world, I reclaim one thing— / The gods’ eternal envy! / Rest now, deities!
...
Since this ring came to me by curse, / Then let the ring be cursed forever! / Once it granted boundless power, / Now its magic brings death to its bearer! / None shall find joy in it, / Its gleam shall never bless the happy! / The zealot who craves power, obsessed with the past, shall be gnawed by envy; / The vengeful, who has nothing but rage, shall be consumed by flame! / This radiance of gods, this gold-lit vanity! / In this darkest hour, / The Nibelung curses his ring!
...
The halls of the old age now crumble, / Valhalla, your dome is reduced to dust! / Surtr’s wheel devours the sky, / Jörmungandr’s fangs reach for the divine flame. / Gungnir! Gungnir! / For this wretched, terrible, twisted fate! / Sing the dirge for this reign of hatred and vanity!

Future Update Plans

Playing as the Anglois bastard heir to the French throne, what a great mod; way more storytelling and narrative than I was expecting

@Sin
The forked path interfaces are translated now.

After digging a little and being confused I found out that to get the celtic path for brittany you need to wait until Gilles dies, and then it'll be decided in the "Courtly Cultural Identity" event, which there is 2 of by the way, one from the initial mission and the other one from the event.

Are there plans to do translations for the forked path events? Currently the text explaining options when you hover over them is translated, but the headings for the paths aren't(i.e. the one in the event chain EDG_flavor_BRI_mission.44), or is that something else entirely, since it seems to be a graphic and not just plain text?

I just updated the translation for several changes since 8/17, so maybe resub and try again now

I'm having the same problem maxim_smenov_4 had. It crashes after clicking single player.

Thank you for the quality translations!

Uploaded a patch that should fix any CTD people were having.

Hi! Thank you very much for the translation, the work is wonderful. After the latest update, my game crashes as soon as I click 'Single Player.' This issue happens both in the Chinese version and with the translation. Has anyone encountered something similar, and if so, how did you fix it? Thanks in advance for your help!

I’m sure there will be content there eventually, but so far the focus has been on Iberia and North Africa and next will be France

You should have the remnant Byzantine states have the decision to restore/revive the Byzantine Empire, I own Constantinople, am a Greek culture, AND have the Komnenos Dynasty on the throne, but I can't seem to be able to form the Byzantine Empire
