I've just made available the first public beta of a little mod I've been working on for a while. You can download it at http://fulcrum.homeip.net/EU2/AlunsReformationMod.zip
Any comments and suggestions welcome. I'm sure you can provide lots of corrections to the research I didn't do.
(Well, I did some, but hardly sufficient.) I've included the ReadMe.txt below, which should hopefully tell you what you need to now about the mod.
EDIT: New download address.
EDIT: The link now points to version 0.3 Beta, the changes from earlier versions are described in separate posts below.
EDIT: New download address again.
EDIT: Oops, seems I forgot to change address last time it changed... Anyway, I finally got around to getting a dyndns one, so there shouldn't be any need to update it all the time any more.
EDIT: The link now points 0.4 Beta, see separate post below. And just to avoid having to edit this post every time, let me just state that the link should always point to the latest version, whichever that is.
Alun's Reformation Mod - Version 0.1 Beta
Short description:
This is a mod for Paradox's 1419 and 1492 scenarios that aims at having the reformation happen more realistically, ie not all in a day, and not quite so predictably.
Requirements:
You need at least version 1.07 of EU2 in order to use this mod. According to the EU2 readme, before then province-targetted events didn't work properly when triggered by other events. And that's pretty much what this mod is all about...
Installation:
This mod uses moddir, so if you're familiar with that you already know what to do.
1. Unzip the archive and put the resulting directory somewhere suitable, eg in your EU2 directory.
2. Create a shortcut to your EU2.exe, put it on the desktop and rename it to something suitable.
3. Right-click the shortcut, select properties, and then shortcut.
4. At the end of the target line add a space and then the path to the Reformation directory, then press OK.
5. As usual with moddir scenarios, you _must_ start EU2 with the right shortcut, or the scenario wont work.
Scenario overview:
In this mod the conversion of the provines isn't strictly predetermined, but probabilistic. Each province has a preset conversion probability which determines how likely it is that that province actually converts. In addition to that each province has a period range during which the conversion might happen. Example: by default the province of Anglia has an 85% probability of converting to protestant in the 1547-1552 period.
Actually, each province has two conversion probabilities, one each for the protestant and the reformed conversions. Typically these probabilities are independent, but there may be exceptions.
As a result, all that the reformation and Jean Calvin events themselves do is to allow state religion change, not any actual province conversions. For that reason I've greatly reduced the time in which they may happen, since now they represent only the appearance of the ideas, not the actual introduction of them.
There's also some more global probabilities that affects the conversion probabilities, and thus the likely total number of provinces converted. With about 10% probability each you may get a "small" or "large" version of the protestant reformation, and likewise for the reformed reformation. The protestant and reformed versions are independent, so you could get eg "small" protestant and "large" reformed in a game (it's just unlikely).
Depending on if you get the small, normal, or large version, different conversion probabilities apply. These are separated into three columns in the data below. If you prefer, this global variation can be turned off (in the options menu when you start the game), in which case you always get the numbers of the middle column.
Specifics:
Without exception, a province has to be either catholic or reformed in order for protestant conversion to happen in the reformation.
With one exception, a province has to be either catholic or protestant in order for reformed conversion to happen in the reformation. This exception is England and Wales, where the province has to be protestant (not catholic). I figured this made more sense for the puritans that the reformed represents in England.
The phrase "in the reformation" above refers to the events added by this mod. Paradox historical and random events and missionaries work just like before.
I also did a couple of bugfix changes: I've made the Kexholm province orthodox, and the two Greenland provinces catholic.
Included below are the comment sections of the event files, stating all the conversion probabilities. I didn't have all that much historical data to base this on, so to be honest most of it is interpolations, extrapolations, and plain guesses on my part.
