[COUNTRY] Western European minorities and revolters

**Evil Weasel** · 10-09-2010 20:01

FEATURES:
*Isle of Man and the Channel Islands start 1836 campaign as UK satellites.
*Wales, Brittany, Cornwall, Occitania, Corsica, Galicia, Asturias, Léon, Basqueland, Iceland, Greenland, Malta, Madeiras,
Saarland, Rhineland, Ontario, Trinidad, Puerto Rico and Jamaica may declare independence.
*Celtic Union tag added.
*Western European cultures drastically overhauled, a dozen new cultures added and primary/accepted cultures edited.
*Over 50 unique real-life political parties for new countries.
*Full flag set for every new country.

Upon release of the game I was surprised to see the lack of revolter options in France and the British Isles, compared to say, the Austrian Empire. Plus, why on earth are the Ionian Islands crown dependencies but not the Isle of Man, a CD since the 18th century? Hence, the French/British revolter mod. Feel free to give any polite and constructive suggestions if there's something in this mod that is broken. Also, feel free to use these country files in any larger country mods, just notify me first please.

Version 2.5 available as attachment below

Installation: Country mods are currently not working with Paradox's broken mod-system. Hence, you MUST use the Generic Mod Enabler or copy the files directly into the VicII directory. I suggest the first method. If you have a previous version of the mod (such as v1.0 o v1.1 etc) you will need to 1. remove the old mod with the Mod Enabler and 2. delete the old files in your mod folder. If you don't do this the flags files for newly-added countries in the new patches *might* be glitched.

Note that this is a work in progress. None of the currently available countries are 100% finished.

MOD COMBINATIONS:

These country and flag files will also be available in the [[New Nations]] mod. However the edited cultures will not be included in New Nations until possibly a later date, hence until then this thread will most likely still include updates as a semi-independent sub-mod.

The [[VIC mod]] also includes this mod (usually a slightly older version), with cultures included.

So great to see a wales
there is a New Nations Mod project working towards the same thing as this, many hands making light work and two people doing the same thing at the same time being halved results and stuff. So you know.
http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/...d.php?t=490034

Amazing work anyway! cool flags too!!

**Evil Weasel** · 10-09-2010 22:01

Ah thank's for the head's up, I didn't know that one existed. I'll try and talk to whoever's in charge over there.

**Londinium** · 11-09-2010 00:02

Living in Devon I'd raise the point that it'd be better to split the 'Plymouth' province into 'Devon' and 'Cornwall'. Devon isn't really like Cornwall in this period or in modern day for that matter. It's a lot more anglicised and doesn't share the Cornish language (which interestingly is pretty much dead in the Vicky period). So having Devon revolting as part of Cornwall is rather strange and ahistorical.

**Evil Weasel** · 11-09-2010 00:05

Knew someone was going to bring that up, that's actually annoying me a bit too. Fact is I don't know how to mod provinces and that brings up a whole new can of worms. I'll keep that in mind but for now I'm leaving it as-is until I get higher priority stuff done.

(Note that culture is not based on language in VickyII)

Indeed, just thought I'd bring it up as a bit of trivia for those reading the thread who may not know much about Cornish history. Might I suggest possibly adding a French Basque revolter aswell if you're thinking of doing another version. The area around Biarritz could be a French Basque nation with a union tag with Spanish Basques (not sure if they're in the game as I havn't played Spain).

**Evil Weasel** · 11-09-2010 00:24

D'oh yeah I should make a basque country- there isn't one in the game at all. Can't believe I didn't think of that.

Currently I'm thinking for alpha 1.1:

Occitania revolter (finished except for loc. files and flag glitches)
One or two basque revolters
Country-specific general names

**MrTaxman** · 11-09-2010 03:47

How about Granada in Spain? Or Normandy in France?

**Beskar** · 11-09-2010 16:47

An idea might be to add "Manx" as the primarily culture of the Isle of Man and name the state "Mann", opposed to it being attached to North West.

**Evil Weasel** · 11-09-2010 22:12

Well this is the UK/France revolter mod so, I dunno about Grenada. Maybe in the distant future.

Again, and province/state realignments will come later. I'm just focusing on country files right now but I will definetly consider making IOM and Channel Islands their own states.

VERSION 1.1 NOW AVAILABLE
For information check the first and second posts.

**migsjalv** · 11-09-2010 23:10

The Gwen ha Du, Brittany's flag, is actually semi-historical. It was "adopted" in 1923, and even today some complain that it is in reality Rennes's flag.

Normandy as a revolter would be really disturbing and unrealistic IMHO. Contrarily to Brittany, Normandy was fully French-speaking at that time and there has never been any real political and cultural movement for independency. It would be as relevant as Northumbria as a revolter.

**Evil Weasel** · 12-09-2010 00:03

Well "Normandy" has now been added...as Jersey & Guernsey, which will be partly of Old Norman culture in beta 2.0.

**Alexspeed** · 12-09-2010 01:37

Well i actually didnt wanted to request anything, but now youre allready in spain...

so i might humbly ask if you would mod in the Kingdom of León in some way.

I know it dosent fit really well in the timeline, but i remember i had so much fun playing it in Crusader Kings (i think it was there, or EU2?) so if i had the chance to play it in V2 i would

I just like the flags of it

**Evil Weasel** · 12-09-2010 02:06

Well the Kingdom of Leon is pretty much a no-go for this mod (I'm thinking realism). However that region (Galacia/Asturias) might just be distinct enough to make the cut as a 19th century revolter.

However, this is a France/Great Britain revolter mod so unfortunately that's kind of low priority. I'll keep it in mind though.

**Alexspeed** · 12-09-2010 02:09

Thank you anyway, i might have to mod it myself then if i ever get finished with my map mods (that can take a while...)

**Evil Weasel** · 12-09-2010 03:01

Just a preview of beta 2.0, which will include unique cultures as well as a bonus assimilation/immigration tweak:

**Hardstuff** · 12-09-2010 03:06

No mention of Leinster?

**Evil Weasel** · 12-09-2010 05:39

Leinster? Gabh mo leisgeul for my forgetfullness, I will consider that too.

**Evil Weasel** · 13-09-2010 20:35

OK, version 2.0 is up with two new countries and completly overhauled western European cultures.

I really need to rename the title of this mod to Western European Minority Mod or something, it's gotten a little bigger than I expected.
