Black7Emperor7's Africa Plus (BAP)
The goal of BlackEmperor's Africa Plus (BAP) is to bring additional depth and flavor to playing in Africa in CK3. This mod was originally a project focused on improving West Africa, as such the bulk of my changes so far are for West African culture groups. The glaring exception to this is to the area of Nubian East Africa, which has also received considerable updates.
Featuring:
- Reworked Religion set-up for Africa, with many new faiths and tenets, and heavily revised vanilla African religions.
- Overhauled African culture name lists, adding hundreds of new names, and removing dozens of inappropriate and incorrect names.
- New decisions for African cultures.
- New economic buildings including Bronzeworks, Salt Mines, and expanded placement of Gold Mines in West and Eastern Africa.
- Special buildings in West Africa, like the palace of Al Ghaba in Wagadu, Walls of Loropeni, Sungbo's Eredo.
- Special buildings in East Africa, like the Cathedrals and Monasteries of Nubia, the Fortress of Dongola in Makuria, and rebuildable Kushitic temple ruins, and more.
- New traits with new art, including a Griot trait for West African characters.
- New regional innovations for African cultures, including MAA.
- New innovation artwork for vanilla African innovations.
- Flavor events, with new event illustrations.
- Localisation update for vanilla African religions, ruler and council titles.
- New localisations for many African ruler and council titles.
- De-jure re-work of k_yorubaland, including new character histories, including a new empire title created by decision.
- De-jure rework of Nubia, including a split of nubia into the kingdoms of Makuria and Arwa, and a new empire level title for Nubia.
- A Nubian king may under certain conditions revive Kushitic Paganism in Nubia, and even declare themselves the Child of Amun! A new trait for Kushitic pagan Kings who have revived the faith.
- Traditional Tenets by fhqwhgads is integrated into this mod for their excellent modifications of vanilla tenets and doctrines.
