CK2 imported Arabs don't get proper ideas

[Chipchat2]

This has been happening forever and I wish this oversight would be corrected. Currently an Arab country from ck2 that does not have the exact tags of a EU4 country will get generic ideas, and so the Middle East of converted games is blanketed by generics.

I want to emphasize that this is UNIQUE to ARABS. All Berber countries get Berber ideas, and if an Andalusian emir conquers Sweden it will get Grenadan ideas.

That's because the Arab ideas are not triggered by culture but by tags:

arabian_ideas = {
    start = {
        global_manpower_modifier = 0.15
        land_attrition = -0.15
    }
   
    bonus = {
        leader_land_shock = 1
    }
   
    trigger = {
        OR = {
            tag = ADE
            tag = ALH
            tag = SHR
            tag = SYR
            tag = IRQ
            tag = LEB    #Lebanon, Middle East addition
            tag = ARB    #Arabia, Middle East addition
            tag = SHM
        }
    }
    free = yes

Whereas Berber ideas are

berber_ideas = {
    start = {
        enemy_core_creation = 0.5
        may_perform_slave_raid = yes
    }
   
    bonus = {
        global_trade_power = 0.10
    }
   
    trigger = {
        culture_group = maghrebi
    }
    free = yes

Yes, that needs to be changed.

You can fix it yourself in the mod files. Not even that tedious, and also allows you to fix other stuff, like tech groups, colours and whatever.

Converter is a CK2 DLC, so all issues with it go here.

The CKII save file exports into mod to EU4 - documents/paradox interactive/eu4/mod

in there there's a bunch of mods, one of them should be something like France1333converted or similar. When you open it there are different folders, I think you're looking for common/countries. Can't check right now, I don't have any mods like those now.

or rather common/ideas? Not sure, sorry

If you want to mod ideas, take a look at this from Reddit:

https://www.reddit.com/r/paradoxpla...o_you_change_national_ideas_after_converting/

Can be tedious since you have to flip through quite a few files until you find your specific nation, since every tag will begin with a "Z" but doing the actual modding is pretty straightforward if you use that example from Reddit. If you happen to understand anything about programming, basically what you're doing is modifying the trigger for that particular set of ideas to include your nation's tag.

that will only fix one country, not all arab countries.

Never said it was, but if you want to fix an individual nation or two you can certainly use that method. To be completely honest with usually I take the time to at least fix the largest Muslim nation with the generic ideas whenever I convert over to EU4.
