Indian improvement mod (W.I.P.)

[impspy]

One of my favorite countries to play in EU3 is Durrani, but while doing research for my Afghan mod I discovered that the political situation presented in EU3 varied widely from the actual political situation at the time. Persia and the Mughals are huge monoliths that quite easily crush the Durrani and make the historical rise of the empire impossible for the AI. Also, it is impossible to beat the Europeans in a pitched battle when you start from a later date; their tech advantage is far too high.

This mod will not only attempt to fix the map history, but will also try to rebalance the non-Europeans countries (except the native Americans) so that they are not total pushovers until the very end of the game (when they historically became completly out-teched).

The list of changes is very long, but here are some of them:

*Vastly improved tech speeds for non-western groups
*added 21 new tags (with more to follow), representing countries in India, Iran, and the Indian ocean
*province history reworked (still W.I.P.)
*New Triggered Modifiers to represent ascendant and descendant nations
*several new cultures (Pashtun, Uighur, more as needed)
*Hordes removed
*Muslim, Indian, and horde units added and rebalanced (still W.I.P.)
*3 new religions (Coptic, Ibadi and Sikhism) added. (will consider more, if needed)
*Upped the military bonuses given by monarchs

Still to do:

*A decision for certain countries (like Punjab, Durrani, Afsharids, Maratha)granting cores and a temporary modifier allowing them to expand as they did historically
*Rework history in Indochina
*Add events and missions for Central Asian Khanates to simulate a desire for either an Indian, Persian, or Indian empire.
*Add historical events to simulate the end of the Timurid, Safavid, Shaybanid and Mughal empires
*"Spread of" event for Sikhism
*Add large, overarching missions with temporary claims and subjagate cbs to simulate the rise of these empire, with cores and prestige as a reward. (can only be used once)
*Add generic events for empires that reach 180 years (done with a country flag) to represent the decline and fall.

The objective is not to railroad history, but to allow it to happen is certain conditions are met. If you have a high ADM ruler, for instance, you can stave off the effects of the decline.

Also, since I want the mod to be compatible with the V2 converter, I will not do the following:

*Add new provinces
*Add new tech groups
*anything else that would break converter compatibility.

And, of course, what preview would be complete without screenshots :

Question? Comments? Suggestion? (Especially the later, I'm very open to suggestions fro improvement)

This looks like it will be a lot of work, but really needed (vanilla is unbalanced, IMHO). Good luck!

[redgreen99]

Sounds like this has great potential, will check back for updates.

[DanubianCossak]

Can we have a screenie of India in 1399?

Can we have a screenie of India in 1399?

But of course:

[DanubianCossak]

Looking great cant wait to try it

[impspy]

Thanks!I just added a new country for 1399, first post updated.

[DanubianCossak]

Do you have a map of the area or something? I did lots of "digging" for India and could find only bits and pieces, your work seems to be very detailed, which is awesome as India really needs some love.

Not a map, really, but I read the histories of every province in the game, and the few maps I saw lined up pretty well. I chose to represent most of the provinces as single province vassals to a larger country. The missions in the mod won't be about actual conquest until after 1700; before that vassalization will be the way to expand.

Also, would you mind if I used some of your work in Persia and Iraq in the mod?

[DanubianCossak]

Not at all, everything that i made is in free for all mode, so if you can make use of anything, feel free to do it.

If you dont mind telling me, what exactly do you intend to use?

And of course once your mod is out, i might ask for your permission to take some stuff, specially regarding countries in India

Thanks, I intend to use some of your history in eastern India/Burma.

Of course, you are free to use anything in the mod. I want to play a more accurate India in all mods, so no permission needed as long as credit is given.

I've been mulling over how to get the AI countries to behave like I want them to, and I've found a way. Instead of a series of missions, each country will get probably one or two missions. The first will give them temp claims on all the territory they held historically, while the secondary ones will deal with land they claimed/fought for/etc. (for instance, the Sikh Empire will get one mission to conquer their historic empire, and if they complete that, then they'll get a mission to conquer Afghanistan (as they wanted to) then a generic mission to conquer India. This is more of a guideline then a hard and fast rule:


Also, I completely redid the history of southern Arabia, removing the Najd blob, for instance (yes, some names a anachronistic, but it was that or name them after the ever shifting tribes):

So how's the new version coming along?

[impspy]

So how's the new version coming along?

Well, I ran into a small problem with my save game crashing, but I think I've fixed it. Holy week and Easter are always busy for me, so I haven't had as much time as I would like . Right now I'm working on the missions; so far, the results are promising. The AI goes for the provinces the mission calls for almost every time.

I still have to do the following:
*add specific missions for Persia, Khorason, and the Mughals.
*add some generic "empire" missions for Turkestan khanates, based on a country flag set by event (an event will pop up for the ai which will let it choose to conquer either India, like the Mughals did, central Asia, or Persia.
*Add "region" missions, which should help the ai expand in a more reasonable fashion.
*Add events (with an option to decline) to create puppets on uncored Indian provinces (which should better simulate the political situation)

[impspy]

School is a pain this time of year, but I have managed to make some progress on the mod.

First, the Mughal Empire.

In vanilla, the decision is very overpowered. For just a few cored provinces in India you are given the ability to escape your horrible tech group and government, while still retaining all of your outside holdings.

I've changed the decision so that is gives the following benifits/drawback:

-Inherit Delhi
-Adds cores on the more or less historical extent of the Sultanate of Delhi for most of its history
-+1 Base tax and manpower in a random Indian province
-+2 centralization
-500 ducats
-5 prestige
-Empire government
-40 legitimacy
-Agra becomes capital
-Primary culture change to Kanauji
-Unit Type change to India
-15 regiment army in Agra
-any owned province not in Afghanistan, Indochina, or India has its cores removed and is ceded to the Timurids

The requirments, like the Hindustan nation (more on that in a minute) have been changed. Instead of having to control and core a bunch of provinces, you (or Delhi, if it exists) can control any province in India and have it count towards your total required.

Delhi is important, and you need to either wipe them out or PU/vassalize them, which allows you to easily annex them. To help, hordes less then 30 provinces in size will get a mission to PU Delhi if they border them. Since the decision annexes Delhi, if Delhi controls a minumum of 4 province in the "Delhi" region or 8 provinces in India you can fire the decision while they are under PU or vassalage and inherit them. Also, only countries with less than 30 provinces (ie, not already an empire in their own right) can take the decision, to prevent large empires from suddenly imploding just because India was added as a province.

Now becoming the Mughals is a chioce. You do get cores and an easier Muslim tech decision, but you will lose any hold on Central Asia and Altaic culture, plus your unit type goes down to Indian (but don't worry, all non-western units have been rebalanced and won't be as horrible as vanilla).

Before:


After+Cores:


Now, Hindustan has also been changed.

First, it has access to the easy Muslim tech group decision that the Mughals get to compensate for the fact that forming Hindustan wipes out the other Indian minors.

Second, it no longer requires cores, but instead to control 45 provinces in India.

Third, it is only available to Muslims. Hindu, Sikh, and Eastern religion countries will instead be able to create Bharat, which is a native name for the subcontinent; however, except for the color and flag the country is identical.

Lastly, Hindustan (and Bharat) are the cultural union for the "Hindustani" culture group, the largest one in India.

hindusthani = {
	union = HIN
	avadhi = {
		primary = GDW
	}
	kanauji = {
		primary = MLW
	}	
	marathi = {
		primary = MAR
	}
	oriya = {
		primary = ORI
	}
	bihari = {
		primary = AHM
	}
	gujarati = {
		primary = GUJ
	}
	dynasty_names = {
		"Hussein Shahi"	"Bhonsle" "Bhat" "Muzaffarid" "Samma" "Arghun" "Kalhora" "Talpura" 
		"Imad Shahi" "Faruqi" "Rathore" "Singh" "Awadh" "Ghuri" "Khilji" "Qadirid" "Shaja'atid" "Holkar" "Bundela" Malla Shah Kotteid "Konnapu Bandara" "Kandy Nayakar" Gampolan Najafi Ilyas Ganesha Suri Karrani Gangas Suryavamsi Bhoi Chalukya Garjat
	}
}

Decision:


Cores:


Finally, it is possible for both the Mughals and the Maratha Empire to become the cultural union for the Hindustani group without changing tags. The Maratha desicion is identical to the Hindustan/Bharat decision, only requiring 45 provinces (out of 88); the Mughal one requires 60.

More updates soon.

By the way, should I switch Hindustan's color and flag to Bharat and find a new color/flag for Hindustan, or does anyone have any suggestions for a flag and/or color for Bharat?

Wow, well done on getting variable claims to work. It took us at D&T months to figure out!

• Vastly improved tech speeds for non-western groups...

I have played around with this a lot, and I have found that drastically higher tech speeds for the non-Europeans doesn't work well. They should be far behind the Europeans in naval technology, in the ability to trade in far-away places, in productivity, and in advances in government. The trouble is that land battles are very sensitive to differences in land technology, so that, as you say, the Europeans have an ahistoric overwhelming advantage.

The reason for this is found in the land table (\common\technology\land.txt). Advancing technology gives three advantages which multiply each other: the quality of the unit types you can use increases, the multipliers for how much damage your units do (such as infantry_shock etc.) increase, and the divisor for how many casualties your units take (military_tactics) increases. So if you want to have more historic land battles, reduce the advantages that high land tech gives to infantry_shock, military_tactics, land_morale, etc., and make the Western Arms Trade modifier more powerful. I've managed to lose battles to natives (NAT), as an advanced European power, in the late 1700's with this kind of change - which is historically accurate.

Two other changes I like to make to the vanilla India setup are to move the CoT in Kutch to Baroda (or somewhere else in Gujarat) and to make Nepal an Indian tech group country instead of a Chinese tech group one.

Thanks! I used your code as inspiration.

Could you upload a copy of your land tech file so that I can examine it, please? The only reason I gave them such high tech rates was to help them militarily, but if its possible to do that without giving them ahistoric bonuses I'm all for it.

Added.

I'll have an update later today. I've been playing Trin Tragula excellent Oriental mod and have implemented some ideas from it.
