1.0O "Oyo" - for 1.30 and previous
EU4toVic2, 1.0Oyo
Iron Release
This release, although small, is rather impactful. It deals with ironing out most of outstanding issues and mismaps, as well as introduces several important QoL features and changes.
Iron / QoL Features
Ironman
- Thanx to Rakaly we now have a fully-functional melting support for Ironman games. Huge thank you to Comagoosie!
Fronter
- Fronter has been ironed to no longer demand CK2 export directory (which stopped being relevant in 1.29 as mods from official PDX converter are now exported to eu4 mod directory)
- Fronter now also allows users to use spaces in custom output mod name, which previously didn't work.
- Instead of relying on common-sense directory paths, Fronter will now prevent usage of paths that "don't exist" (notably when OneDrive symlink folders get in the way). Previously this produced a hotbed of confusion for users.
States and territories
Our previous method of assigning states and territories was confusing to many. Most notably, idea of having territories inside Europe was semantically off-putting as players equated territories with colonies. We have now changed how this works:
- If a nation is uncivilized, all provinces owned will be imported as full states.
- If a nation is civilized, those provinces containing their cores will convert as states, as before.
- Those provinces NOT containing their cores will convert as states only if the people in them are themselves civilized.
- Whether people are civilized or not depends on their eu4 tech group and related configuration file (tech_groups.txt) so this is perfectly moddable.
Example - Ottomans: Balkans will convert as states (eastern-tech cultures there are civilized), but Egypt will not, unless Misri (Egyptian culture, muslim group, uncivilized) are an accepted group and thus produce Ottoman cores - and provinces will cores do convert as states.
Mapping Revamp
- As a part of culture revamp, all culture mappings were compressed and duplicates removed, halving the number of mapping and ditching a third that was excess.
- Province mappings were also fixed in several areas where we found mismaps.
Aside for these bullets, a minor fixes to decisions and events are also in, as well as under-the-hood improvements that should be invisible to user.
The windows_development_build supersedes this release and is built whenever a feature is added, dynamically. You can get it here.
