Updates in Independent Europe v 0.5:
- Added THIS file to the scenario
- Edited the randomevents.txt file and added a bunch of events (a few are borrowed from the EEP). There are now 318 random events.
- Added and moved all CoTs. There are now eight CoTs spread around europe.
- Relocated the national unit sprites:

- Changed cultures in former CoT nations to closest culture
- Changed all un-owned provinces to pagan religion and scandinavian culture (heathens).
- Added UNKNOWN STRING WANTED-nation (SPR-tag) to replace Vologda (PAP-tag), which caused problems. (If a nation was at war with Vologda, all catholics had CB on the nation and if Vologda was annexed, all catholics had CB on the one owning Rome)
- The PAP-tag is now a country on Tahiti (In the south pacific). They are currently Emperor of the HRE until monarchs and voting is corrected there.
- Changed the colors on the maps in-game (such as CoT color, nation color and religion color (colorscales.csv by: LordBarkingDog))
