@nimic there are mods for ck2 that allow you shatter the world into individual counties or duchies. Wonder if that would work in these sorts of scenarios? Would be carnage at the start mind you, but you could fit a lot more players.

Possibly, I'll have to look into it later. I think it might not be as easy as EU4 though, where I just used the in-game tool to create all of you. I don't think that exactly exists in any other game, so it would be more involved. People make their own mods all the time in all the games though, so I might try something of the sort later.

There is definitely an EU4 mod for that shattered world thing. Alternately we could just do a random new world, and give everyone a nation in the new world.

CK2 or 3 could also be fun due to the character focus. You could design a little bit of a personality, moreso than in EU4.

Smaller starts means more varied country sizes and development. More interesting imo

CK could be fun too, yeah. It might be a bit harder to visualize, since there's layers of titles.

Lots of different options for EU4 stuff too. I'll try to finish this one before I start planning too hard :lol:
 
I’ve been tempted to start a new FM experiment. Could have a look at a CK one.
 
You can move a save all the way from Eu4, through CK2 to Hoi4. Would be cool to see this end up in ww2, but probably a lot of hassle

No you don't, and here's the proof.

Europe in 1472 (it's quite zoomed out - and wide - but I'll try to keep it consistent and take the screenshot from here every time, that way it's easier to track change for your country. Also, click for a bigger one!)

Why don't I have any stuff
 
Are we getting the national ideas of the countries we replaced or are they random?

Mostly random, check the introduction posts. Then your AI chooses their ideas. Hopefully someone picks exploration eventually.

Ah maybe I worded that wrong. I meant the missions where when you play England you're basically told to get Paris and it's made a lot easier through the benefits than taking say Madrid. I forgot the specific term I'm afraid.

Ah I see. The mission trees are all the same, generic. They do push towards conquest of the culture/region.

Nice! One more thing: Could you possibly post the year with the screenshots? (no need for the ones posted already, but in future).


Thanks for doing this by the way!

As you sip your divine Egyptian brew and ponder upon the Pyramids, spare a thought for this humble Moroccan God from the West. I've been thinking - together, we've got more minarets than all of Christendom's cathedrals, so surely, we can outshine those heathen Catholics?

BFFs?
 
I'm reserving the right to do a Stellaris version, because that has a similar create-countries-easily vibe. Actually, now that I think about I feel like I'm definitely going to do that at some point, hopefully this year. If this one doesn't burn me out.

Also I guess I'll have to check out the state of EU4 > Victoria 3 converters when we're done with this one. It might not be super viable, because last time I checked it was quite basic. The fact that you're all new countries might make it hard to convert, maybe impossible? I might have to make an actual mod to convert into, or something. I might have to learn some better modding on my own to clean it up, but maybe that could be fun anyway.
 
I had a look at CK III this morning and it looks do-able in a similar vein to this one. Could be quite fun too given the different personal mechanics to the game!

Yeah definitely! If you're doing on please reserve me a spot :D

(Also please don't start it right away :lol:)

Anyway, I'm trying out a new graphical mod for EU4, let me know what you guys think. I think it looks a bit nicer, and it makes it a bit easier to see everyone. There's a minor glitch that happens around some coasts when zoomed out, but otherwise seems fine. (Click it)

Definitely wouldn't. This experiment is nice because it means I can test it out in the meantime and see if I have the mental capacity to do it. :lol:

Also I think that looks much cleaner and better!

That makes it 100x easier to see what's going on. Way better.
