EU Converter, how does it work?

[gimel]

In particular, Mare Nostrum is bound to feature new provinces in, say, British Isles. How will that be handled by the converter? Will the converted games be incompatible (uninhabited provinces in Ireland and elsewhere)? Will the converter just ignore the matter altogether ("EU4 team might have promised you map expansion, we on the other hand have made no such promises...")? Or will it be patched somehow, and soonish, so that we would enjoy the whole depth without much delay?

It will probably be uninhabited like the canary islands, but the converter doesnt work right atm and has been unsupported for quite some time.

Nah, Groogy works on it off and on. It's not his primary function, but it does get worked on a little. It should end up being compatible with the new EU4 DLC at some point relatively shortly after release.

Works as of now, though that Mare Nostrum patch is bound to break it at least temporarily. I converted several games on Cossacks' patches and even played one with a friend for a weekly game that we had going for a month at least. Granted, I know somewhat recently people were saying the converter would just get hung up on them, but I believe the general consensus was don't convert if you have a bunch of rebellions on the map at once.

Does Conclave still screw up almost every nation by giving vassals if their council is even slightly empowered?

It takes up about 4% of his time.

I think it was updated fairly quickly after Cossacks was released. I don't think the map changes will set it back that much.

Also, I'm pretty sure that Groogy has passed on the Converter to one of the new devs.

It is a pain in the ass, but it is possible to mod the converted save file to your liking. I always poke around in it when I convert. Like if I am on a Byzantium run and I own Rome, I always make sure the Byzzies get Western tech over Eastern, as it makes little sense for them not to. At the same time, super-powerful dukes inside a bigger realm get made into vassals if they are not already. But I am slightly masochistic and don't mind spending an hour or two tweaking the conversion. My advice is to ALWAYS check the conversion.

It's nice that the converter is updated for each patch, but I wish they spend more time on the converter regularly, especially when they keep updating both games with new mechanics and map changes.

The converter will be updated, and will "work" if you ignore the already present issues with the converter.
