Comment as of February 28th 2011:

Finally Terra Universalis achieves its first objective and is universal with the rework of Mesoamerica and the addition of several tribes to North and South America. As the name implies I intended to make it not an Europa based game but a game based in the entire world, which meant that I had to add lots of stuff outside Europe. First the process of remove all the PTI (when it existed), then the process of rework the whole rest of the world. Einfall was a great help in Asia as Divide et Impera is just brilliant in completeness, and my first steps in Africa followed DeI too. From Dei Gratia I took the new religions and I included SRI as well as Hiring Fair to make it more complete, I had to remove all of these because of update problems or expansion evolution, but I plan to reinclude SRI! I then dwelled into adding zilions of tribes to Africa to fight back the grey blob. In the Americas I felt that if I added tribes everywhere it would sort of render colonisation worthless and I feared that it would end not that well. But the advent of Divine Wind introduced the horde system that surprisingly was THE way to have both tribe states everywhere and colonisation. Finally it's Terra Universalis!

Of course I'll keep improving the mod and add more stuff, I just wanted to remark that finally I feel it fulfill itself in my dream for a full whole world mod (I started working in Terra Universalis even before the Whole World Mod existed).



The main objective of this mod is to remove all the PTI, adding new provinces and countries and add just some small events/decisions by its own - major changes in events and decisions is made by integration of other mods.

				 ####### HOW TO INSTALL (DW madness) ############
For now map modding in Divine Wind seems to not work properly in the mod folder. So here are the steps to work around it:

1) Make a back up copy of the entire Europa Universalis III game folder (recommended but not necessary so you can play vanilla)
2) Drag/copy all the stuff inside Terra Universalis folder to the new copy of the game directory. Let everything be replaced
3) Go to gfx/interface and rename icon_religion.dds and icon_religion_small.dds to something else
4) Go to interface and delete core_modfolder.gfx and domesticpanel_modfolder.gfx
5) Start the game through eu3.exe (and chose default) or eu3game.exe
6) ????
7) Profit

If things aren't right, erase all the files inside the map/cache folder. This should solve everything.

######### IF YOU WANT TO PLAY IN THE MOD FOLDER (HAS GLITCHES) ##############

If you want to play in the mod folder put both the "Terra Universalis" folder and the .mod file in the mod folder.
It works but the terrain map will be glitched (visually only). You'll have to do some things:

1) In mod/Terra Universalis/interface delete core.gfx and domesticpanel.gfx,
then remove the "_modfolder" from core_modfolder.gfx and domesticpanel_modfolder.gfx
2) Copy all the files from the vanilla localisation folder into mod/Terra Universalis/localisation

Then start the game through the launcher and chose Terra Universalis instead of Default.
If things aren't right, erase all the files inside the map/cache folder. This should solve everything.

Africa reworked, non-european tech boosted
Download



HTTT 1.0 version (2009-12-15)
- Dei Gratia, SRI and Hiring Fair taken out (events, modifiers, decisions, etc). If versions for HTTT are made, I'll ask authorization from the authors to include them again. Hiring Fair advisor is not in my list to include, as the new advisor system works. However, due to its simplicity, if people want it again I'll include it again. NOTE: All Dei Gratia religions are used in this version (i.e. includes e.g. teotl, gnostic, etc) as well as SRI countries in Europe (i.e. includes e.g. Cilli, Frankfurt, etc).
- All countries from any religion can declare an holy war against countries of other religion groups
- Imperial City government from SRI was kept, and now can change to other governments
- Updated map from HTTT, but keeping all provinces previously used
- Leon now extends to Badajoz
- Galiza is now part of Leon again
- Now the Force Vassals' Religion decision costs magistrates too
- Now Haixi Jurchens and Jinzhou Jurchens can also form Qing
- Added decisions to convert to different religions, depending on the original religion (possible conversions includes judaism, zoroastrian, sikh, gnostic)
- New countries possible to form: Austria-Hungary, Caliphate, Israel, Jerusalem, Greece, Sardinia-Piedmont, Srivijaya and Yuan
Note that without SRI and DG events the game mechanics is much closer to vanilla

2009-8-31 (7th) version for IN 3.2 - mainly the upgrade of SRI and DG
7th Version for IN
Proudly including:
Sacra Romanum Imperium
Dei GratiaHiring Fair Advisor
-Upgrade to Sacra Romanum Imperium 4.1 as of August 31th 2009
-Upgrade of Dei Gratia as of August 31th 2009
-New colonial revolter: Siberia
-Added a decision to allow the overlord to change its vassals religion to its own (in order to allow it to annex them later)

-Now only Manchu can form Qing
-Majapahit now sees all of its vassals
-Jain and Sikh countries now appear in the historical starts with its religions corrected

2009-5-6 (6th) version
-Inclusion of Sacra Romanum Imperium (many effects - see this mod thread here)
-Inclusion of Dei Gratia (many effects - see this mod thread here)
-Inclusion of Hiring Fair Advisor mod
-New country: Poland-Lithuania. It is possible to form with Poland or Lithuania, but it also exists in the historical starts.
-New colonial revolters: California, Zaire (for now it works as the entire middle africa), South Africa, Madagascar and Australia.
-Alaska and the ex-PTI provinces in north North America get a Canadian core
-Lousiana cores extended
-Portugal is now more powerfull: more provinces, better resources, more manpower and starts with an wharf, an university and a refinery.
-Portugal now has the historical flag of 1399 and teh portuguese uniforms are now white and blue (but lower quality...), and Portugal color is now similar to Sardinia-Piedmont.
-Pacific islands now can get sugar or cotton (now they can be interesting).
-Wetar and Chatham Islands now correctly have a port.
-The UK of Portugal and Brazil is now easier to form (less provinces required)

-New Adjacencies added.

2009-2-22 (5th) version - Dramatical change from previous version in map
-East Asia mostly based on Divide et Impera's - adition of lots of new provinces and countries
-Inclusion of accurate and diverse Sri Lanka and East African Coast (Swahili city states). Ceylon and Swahili are now a nation that can be formed.
-Undid Portugal and France modifiers of previous versions - these countries start with different sliders instead, France more decentralized and serfom, Portugal more free trade and free subjects
-All non-latin unit type groups will get equivalent "napoleonic lancers" and "napoleonic square" at land technology 63. But until then you are stuck to your crappy units. So westernize and run for land tech 63!
-You can now westernize if you have a muslim or better tech neighbor. But you can't obviously get to latin with a muslim neighbor - all you can get is its tech group. Which, of course, is very good if you're indian or worse

-Inclusion of Leon as a vassal and lesser partner in a personal union with Castille (1399-1516). Castille flag changed to reflect this reality.
-New unifying nation, the United Kingdom of Portugal, Brazil and Algarve (reduced name to UK of Portugal and Brazil because of size reasons). It exists in the history of the game from 1815 and beyond (this mod allows to go up to the year 9999 but keeps the history as in 1821).
-Portugal (or the UK of Portugal and Brazil) is always allied with England/Great Britain in the time span of the game.

Changes in the 2nd version
-The UK of Portugal and Brazil is now formed through decision and not event.

Thanks:

Einfall must be considered an author of this mod too as he allowed me to base Terra Universalis East Asia in Divide et Impera's (BTW a mod that you must try). To him I send my biggest thanks.

Many thanks to Helius, dharper and Azonalanthius for allowing me to use their great mods within my humbler mod. Thanks to Haftetavenscrap for allowing me to use his flag of California and South Africa of the WWM. Thanks for many people who contributed for this mod with anything, their names are in this thread.

I would like to thank the guys of Positions Editor and Scenario Editor because these tools are very helpful, and of course, to the ones that created mod tutorials. My mod is free to be used the way you want, that includes be part of other mods - in case the part in question is originally part of other mods it's better to ask the original author.

If you have any doubt feel free to ask. Please I want feedback and suggestions!!

Known problems:
- It's surely slower than vanilla.

If you find another problems, please tell me. With the inclusion of another mods something strange/crash may happen. Please let me know if you find any. They surely exist...

[t0m]

This all looks very familiar but that is a lot of provinces! Well done.

[Camara]

Lol yes I know, the Whole World Mod kicks my small mod . I'm thinking in releasing this mod only as a map one, as my other changes are ridiculous...

[The Patrician]

Have you thought of joining the WWM? Hafte could probably do with a hand making the maps.

[Camara]

I can, but everything I did he already did too...

[aenariel]

Not exactly. A whole lot of those small islands are missing, although I must say I could've done it in the past (as I did contribute with a lot of new islands to WWM) but didn't for the simple fact most of those islands were historically insignificant and/or unsuitable for colonization.

If you have accurate history files to accompany all those new provinces, it'd be kick-ass if you could contribute with them to WWM. But that's up to you.

PS: bom trabalho!

[Camara]

The history files do not have any relevant information (just the basic), but I can research the history of these islands to make a proper history file. Just say what ones do you want.

PS: Obrigado.

[The Patrician]

A lot of those Pacific Islands had what should be playable nations in the 19th century, in particular Tonga which carved out a little empire of its own during this period so they would be good additions.

[Haftetavenscrap]

I'm sorry if I stole your thunder, but I'm always in need of helpers and contributors to WWM if that's what you'd like to do...

Never say everything's been done, because if I've learned anything in my time modding this game, it's that nothing is ever done.

[Camara]

Actualization. I want feedback, suggestions and corrections!

[Camara]

Second version released. I will not put the first version to download because the second is just a minor polishing of the first.

EDIT: 3rd version released as bug fixing.

[Camara]

4th version with important fixes released. I'm sorry for these errors, but it seems 3.1 changed some small things I though weren't changed.

[KomodoWaran]

I just wanted to say how much I enjoy your mod. Great job!

In fact I prefer it very much to the Whole World Mod because yours enables me to just play IN minus the PTI, without adding a score of additional countries and rule changes that I don't care about.

So, keep up the good work.

I'm not questioning your preferences, but I have to mention that there is a version of WWM called WWM Basic which does exactly what you describe: it provides the map and leaves the rest of the map unchanged. I just thought I'd mention it because your not the only person who's unknowingly said this.

[KomodoWaran]

Oh yeah, I forgot:

Kola Peninsula (2039) and Kam (2040) need to be added in "tradegoods.txt".

Maybe like this:

D'oh!

[Camara]

Thanks, I'll correct it in the next update!

[Haftetavenscrap]

Instead of adding new provinces to the event individually, it's probably a better idea to simply add those provinces to a region. That way, any event that applies to that region will apply to that province as well and it will save you trouble in the long run if you want to change things around.

[Camara]

Yes, I did that to the other provinces, however I forgot to add these somewhere.

[Camara]

The universe of the Portuguese Empire is coming soon....
