Hi everybody!
After years of EU II I decided to change to FTG definitely.
Then I started changing game files and I asked someone about a file that can change provinces file just to save a lot of time.
The link to download it posted much time ago in another thread is out of service.

What exactly do you want to change about provinces? Most files in FtG can be simply edited with an editor like notepad.

I simply looked for a saved file in the past in a modder's HD among people playing FTG now.
 
Magellan automatically generates province.csv and that tool permitted quick conversion to province.txt so it's very useful to map modders. Unfortunately I haven't been able to find it as well.

If I run Magellan on my map now I will get provinces.csv file of EU II, but I already have it.
Province.txt of FTG is easy to understand, but I need too much time to build up from old province.csv.
Anyway it's what I'm doing line after line.
 
Here's first result: Alaska

That looks really cool! :)
One problem I see is that I've heard there's a limit on the amount of provinces you can create with Magellan (2200 or something like that).
 
I'm far from 2020 provinces on my map.
Still I have troubles about the regional limit in few areas of the world.
I have no PTI area on my map and I have an Europe large as in reality.
Now I play FTG in 1600x1200 resolution.

The 2020 includes river, lake and sea provinces not only land provinces.

Oh, are you going for a game until the 1890´s? Because before that e.g. Africa wasn´t fully explored or colonized

My scenario is Ages of Struggles and its age is 1337-1915,
in Africa I considered 18 TAGs at the start + 3 as possible revolters.
Europe has less province and less countries than in usual scenarios.
Anyway I'm open to other non-european TAGs of the past.
 
I have 6 nations in South America on almost all of its provinces:
Amazonas, Chibchas, Chimor, Inca E., Paranà, Tupis.
Feel free to insert a new nation on the map with red lines:

Firstly, that's AMAZING, I'm dying to see what the rest of the world looks like :D

As for my ideas, they are all for the post-colonial period (you pretty much used all the feasible ones for the native americans):

It would also be possible to break up Brazil into its constituent regions:

That image is for administrative divisions of Brazil,
about lines I thought about precolombian nations only.
A choose by you related to big Patagonia area: Araucans or Tehuelches?
 
Those administrative divisions are based on social and economic factors that can affect politics. For example, an unexpected abolition of slavery might trigger a revolt in the northeastern plantation, while a slavocratic government could do the same in the southern states looking to industralize.

Araucanians.
 
For Araucanians I inserted ARK tag in country.txt file, nation similar to Paranà.
I developed shields for it, not for flag:
shield_ARK.bmp
 
Thx very much, I downloaded them.
The 1st flag seems dark in the game, so I'll insert the 2nd one as ARK flag.
