Empire Mod

[Mikeboy]

1701-1936

So what is Empire mod? It is a mod for Victoria 2 which gives you an extra 135 years of gameplay from 1701 to 1936. This new timeline gives you two new eras to playthrough, the 18th century enlightenment and the Napoleonic era. Your overall strategy will be to become the number 1 ranked nation in the world and stay that way for as long as possible although you will certainly be able to play to your own goals if you so choose, especially if playing as a minor nation like Sumatra, Anhalt or the a North American Tribe. The government types available in Vicky 2 has been expanded to give a wider variety of flavour to politics. With government types ranging from Noble Republics to Enlightened Absolutism and Imperial Autocracies. There are new events covering the enlightenment period, a revolutionary and empire system, and a new dynamic tech tree which allows technologies to progress naturally rather than be constrained by historical year. POP promotion has changed so no more rich farmers suddenly becoming aristocrats. Farmers can move to craftsmen but only when there are modern type factories available for them to work in (so about after 1750), artisans will stay artisans until the industrial era arrives (they might be so poor they are now forced to take work in the new factories) or rich enough so as to promote to capitalists. Soldiers promote to officers and officer to aristocrats and so you get the idea. In otherwords POPs are now subject to a rigid social hierarchy or ladder that they might climb (or fall down) depending on how well are doing economically. There are plenty of new nations fit this new era such as Shan, the mighty Bourbon Empire, the Holy Roman Empire and the Confederation of the Rhine.

Let the age of Empire begin!

I've been waiting for this mod for ages. Can't wait for the download to end.

EDIT: I'm assuming this is for 1.3?

[Guerrillero]

You made my day.

Yes, sorry I should have included that.

Sweet, sweet beta...

You might want to list takedown as the former mod leader, he did start this and should deserve a bit more recognition.

Here's a small preview of some of the next version. I've added some flavour for France that gives it the ability to build the historic First French Empire!

Forming the Confederation of the Rhine is already in 1.3.0, to do so simply sphere, or control the core states. You can vassalise Spain (Crown the King of Spain) via two ways; one is the historic way of militarily destroying them, the other is by having them in your sphere. Both require you to have the Revolutionary Empire government type and a massive 1000 prestige. To form Italy you must conquer or have in-sphere the historic Napoleonic Kingdom of Italy, be a Revolutionary Empire and have 800 prestige. The decision will add Italy as your vassal and all Italian states in your sphere will join the new Italy. However Italian countireds not in your sphere, your own Italian provinces or Italian provinces controlled by a non-Italian culture country won't be included (In the example picture I had S-P, Lombardia, Venice and Mantua in my sphere).

I did this through cheating, in reality it's a lot harder and in large part up to chance; France needs to have a Revolution Risk of 99 between 1780 and 1799 to undergo a revolution and become a republic, then it's up to chance if you'll have a Head of Government that'll declare the French Empire (A Revolutionary Empire, the govtype you need to vassalise Spain and Italy). So even if you set out to build the historic French Empire it is by no means guaranteed you'll achieve it, and the chance of the AI doing so is miniscule.

But enough monkeys on typewriters.....

Game freezes while loading events

[Mikeboy]

Quickfix for that is under the download link, copy and paste it into the events folder.

Where exactly is the Revolution risk indicator? I can't find it. I really want to know what my revolution risk is

If I remember correctly, it replaces plurality.

[Prussianpower]

Installed and added the event quickfix, crashes for me while loading.

[robb1993]

Crashes for me while loading, crashes in the "compressed data" part after loading the textures for the quads and such...

Was I supposed to install all the files over a clean copy of vanilla? Or place it in the mod folder? there are no visible instructions.. which'd be nice..

[Eichenthal]

game freezes upon loading history...
any idea to why; how to fix this?
thanks

[Aurelius4444]

Well, I have a problem with this mod. The localisation is messed up, for example Englend has "Flanders" over it on map. And second, much worse problem is it CTD after loading up some nation.
Thanks
