The Netherlands mod

[Van Diemen]

The Netherlands mod 1.0

I have made this mod to make Victoria (revolutions) more realistic and fun for the Dutch player. I have tried to do this by adding some event and changing some files from the orginal game.

If you have any more questions please ask them here or send a PM.There may be further improvements in future.
I have tested it with the latest Victoria revolutions patch and there aren't any problems. I didn't test this package with VIP, but you could add the events yourself manually (by copy and paste them into the right files), note that in that case there will be some double events (one version of my mod and another version of VIP) like Haarlemmermeerpolder. So this mod is not made to go with VIP without changing some things yourself.

The current version is 1.1, see post below to download the most recent version!

If users want to try out this mod and want to be sure they can easily go back to the pre-mod settings I advise to use the following tool: Jonesoft Generic mod enabler. This powerfull tool (but very easy in use) can be used for every file and makes a back-up of the old files! I am using it for most games and it really works quite well. So no more making back-ups yourself or doing a complete install thanks to this tool.

Change log v 1.0:

- Improved the Belgian revolution events by adding some events and adjusting the old ones
- Added a new series of events called: 'The South African Conflict' (ahistorical)
- Added a new 'flavour' event called: 'Drooglegging Haarlemmermeerpolder' (historical)
- Added a new random event called: 'Nobelprize awarded'
- Added two new pictures for the new events
- Altered the Dutch starting technologies for Grand Campaign (GC), the Dutch now have Stock exchange from the start (the Dutch were the first to have stocks and bonds)
- The Dutch now have slaves from the start (for now only the Dutch West Indies)
- Added an event to free the slaves in 1863 (historical)
- Southern Netherlands is now (except Middelburg) catholic, the adjustment has only been made for the GC so far
- The Dutch start GC with a national province setting on all the Belgian provinces
- The Belgians now start with national province setting in GC on Middelburg, Breda, Eindhoven and Maastricht and their own provinces

I really hope you will like the extra events that I have made. Please note that I have tried to make most events as historical as I could. Not all events are historical, but those should spice things up a bit.

Play and enjoy
