No Ideology

[Von Steiner]

I'm creating a mod and I wanted to have custom names for my custom nations political parties, so I changed PRU_conservative to COH_conservative_2 (I do have COH_conservative_2 in the common folder). Every time I load the game though it says "No Ideology". Here is my common folder:

    trade_policy = free_trade
    religious_policy = pluralism

    war_policy = anti_military
}

I also need to know how to change the population and political opinion of provinces.

If anyone knows how to help please do.

Since it's clear that the party setup is correct and there're no typos there, check the reforms above it. If there's a typo, it can cause the rest of the file below to not be recognised.

To change the population, go to history/pops and edit the country file in question (they're grouped by modern countries, but it doesn't matter for the game at all).

Political opinions I don't know how to do.

Political opinions are generated at the start of the game, you could edit the POP files and add in a modifier with conditions like AND = { country = { TAG = COH } NOT = { year = 1837 } }

So, I've fixed my political party problem, but I still don't know how to fix the population of provinces.

I've fixed that too, thanks guys. If you know how to change Ideologies of my pops though, make sure to tell me.

 

[General WVPM]

You'll have to edit the POP files (.../mod/poptypes/<type>.txt)
Inside each file is coded which ideology they will follow under which conditions.
You probably want a condition like AND = { country = { TAG = COH } NOT = { year = 1837 } }
As this will be true, if the POP lives in your COH country before 1836, ie at the start of the game.
Just copy one of the modifiers which already exist and change the value to what you like (higher = more).
