How to play as Northumbria?

[unmerged(766737)]

Hey,

Was just wondering if it is possible to play as Northumbria? If so, how?

Thanks

You can't start as them. You'd have to either start as England and release them as a vassal or start as someone else, fight England, win, and force them to release Northumbria. That way Northumbria wouldn't start as a vassal, but it would be harder.

In either case, once Northumbria is released you can reload as them.

If English Minors are your thing, York and Lancaster exist in the game too. They can revolt away from English provinces owned by a non-english country. This most frequently happens when Scotland forms Great Britain then gets overrun by rebels.

I had a pretty fun game as York once!

You may cancel the vassalization after release as England, though. The AI would get a month or so to spend money and agents, but it would make an easier start than under vassalage.

That's not as easy to set up, though.

Yeah, that's true. I forgot about that.

or you could do some simple modifications yourself. Find the id of whatever province you want it to have and i believe it will say something like {province_id 1021 =ENG} (i really am to lazy to check but it will be something similar) and change 'ENG' to 'NOL' for Northumbria.

At later date they are availiable, during the war of roses scenario i think.

How do you do that? It sounds surprisingly easy.

Not that I could find. The province history of Northumberland (didn't check others though) gives the historical changes=later game starts as
English: 1399-1707
Occupied by Scotland: December 1610 and 1644-1646

It does have some pretty nasty revolt risks during several time periods - at worst a +8 modifier!

Most of the game is in text files (even the save games, despite the .eu3 extension).
