I don't really get the exporter...

[Akka le Vil]

Okay, so after a lot of hitches and hurdles I finished my Roman Empire playthrough, and I want to continue it in EU4 (and after that, either Vic2 or Stellaris, depending on how much I've conquered the world by then). So I export the file.
And I really don't get the results. I don't know if it's about BUGS per se, that seems to be okay (though i'm overwhelmed about the countless features since the last time I played, which was with the release version...). But it's more about the, well, weird results...

I have "local autonomy" all over the place, without a lot of meaning behind the distribution (my direct demesne has 75 % in Athens, 0 % in Constantinople, 25 % in Rome ; I have some ancient vassals demesne with low autonomy, other with high, well it's a mess).
I have Mediolanum, which at 11 base tax and 32 development, while Constantinople lags behind with 9 bt and 23 dev, despite the latter having more holdings (6 vs 5) and having both about the same number of improvement built (in fact, probably a bit more in Constantinople).
I also have no idea why there is a castle or an estate in such or such province, so I don't know if it's fitting, but I'll give it the benefit of the doubt.

So basically... how does this converter work ? I've looked on the Net, but it's really flimsy and makes only extremely general statements.

The development of the provinces is static. It is exactly the same as that of eu IV's 1444 start.

I have no clue about the local autonomy stuff.

Your (5 at most) largest vassals in ck2 will carry on to EU IV as standard vassals unless you have maximum crown authority (don't know how it works with conclave)

How does the Converter work? It's all very simple.

It doesn't.

The fact the it exists and there's still support for it is a miracle in itself. Please, in 10-20 years op's situation will be largely normalized and he will be able to enjoy 360 years of pure blobbing

Your standards are lower than mine. I consider giving any realms that don't completely strip the council of its power vassals in EU a deal breaker. Tech groups are set to be fixed though.

Okay, I was surprised, but it actually is the case. In fact I don't particularly mind this, so that's okay.
Thanks.

Err... It's a miracle that a non-free DLC works ?

I disabled Conclave, so it seems nobody has vassals (which actually is a bit overdone in the other way, but that's not a big deal).

As for the tech groups, they seem all over the place (though that was rather expected considering the big difference between CK2 and EU4 ; I might have to fix it all by hand to get a more "regular" feeling).

For now I admit I'm pretty lost in all the new stuff (half of the interface is talking about things I don't have any f-ing idea about, like castles and estates and power projection and development and...).
I just wanted to continue my game from CK2 to Stellaris, but all this new things means I'll have to basically relearn the game from scratch, and I'm not that hot about it.

I don't suppose there is some version of the converter which allows you to play on the old vanilla 1.0 version of EU4 ? :-/

oh, i forgot that it was paid. i got mine on a bundle, thought it was for free. you're right then

With local autonomy I have no clue, though the dev is not dynamic in any way and just uses the values for the regular 1444 start.

Also to my knowledge, with Conclave it's your council laws that serve the same purpose as the old crown authority laws. A fully empowered council is the same thing as having minimum crown authority, and likewise having an unempowered council is the same as absolute crown authority.

And on a side note, tech groups are assigned by comparing technology against a world average. This typically leads places like India and Byzantium having Western tech (since they normally have high tech levels in CK2) and then the Pagan World being Muslim.

Actually, even a slightly empowered council counts as having the lowest level of Crown Authority.
