@hello_moto2901
The United East India Company (which I think you’re hinting at) went bankrupt and was relinquished in the late 1700’s. The Dutch state took over its East Indies possessions.

The Nederlandsche Handel-Maatschappy , which is included, is regarded as a sort of successor to the VOC, apparently being nicknamed ‘Kompenie Ketjil’ (small[er]/lesser company, as in, the smaller version of the VOC) in Malay.

But the East Indies were formally simply part of the Netherlands at this point.

you should add dutch east indies as a company

In this new update I’ve added the aforementioned text icons, and characters for Philips.

I previously also improved the non-Latin alphabet localisations, for which I’ve used a mix of DeepL, Google Translate, ChatGPT and Wikipedia. I can’t vouch for their accuracy, as of these scripts I can only read Cyrillic with some proficiency, and only a tiny little bit of Hangul. I have tried to go for Dutch pronunciations, though (Google Translate seems to default a lot to English pronunciations, eg. ‘David’ in Russian Cyrillic becomes ‘Дэйвид’, where according to Dutch pronunciation it’d be ‘Давид’).

I also only just noticed the new prestige goods are supposed to have defined text icons. Eg. in the picture the yellow ‘Heineken Beer’ text is supposed to have the Heineken bottle to the left of it.

I hope I can add this in a gui file which doesn’t have to override the other text icons, for maximal compatibility. Testing it now.

Hmm. I suppose they have. Thanks for telling me.

I’m a bit miffed over the time I spent making that icon, but at least I think mine still looks nicer :p

Hey, fyi Paradox have added the Phillips Chapel radio in the 1.9.6 public beta.

I just noticed I completely forgot Philips (obviously) is a family business as well. I’ll be adding characters for Philips as well.

I’ve made a slight change to the Staatsmijnen in Limburg (State Mines in Limburg) so that they can only be founded, either if you’re playing as the Netherlands and Gelre (South-Eastern Netherlands) isn’t a split state, or you’re playing as the Duchy of Limburg or Belgium and own (part of) Gelre (South-Eastern Netherlands).

This is a (though imperfect) way to ensure the Netherlands can’t found the State Mines in Limburg without actually owning (the modern Dutch part of) Limburg, and to now also allow Belgium and even Limburg itself (if you like playing single split-state subjects) to found it as a company.

The mod has been updated. Check the description for what has changed!

i hope it goes well^^

I don’t know if this mod is even usable at the moment. I’m thinking about redoing it, and have already made an icon for one Dutch prestige good: https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/threads/jozefs-mods-historical-corrections-visual-flavour-now-with-dutch-antilles.1770699/

I’m making an icon for Heineken beer as well, then I’ll at least have two icons ready. I may still add a third (I’m thinking Douwe Egberts maybe - at least some colonial good).

But if I end up finishing this, I’ll redo all the others as well, for which I’ll need to look into the game files as well to find out how it all works/what’ll work well for the Netherlands. I’m also thinking of changing the company logos, to make them more like actual logos like Douwe Egberts has.

possibly add prestige goods?

Should be fixed

Oops. I'll fix it in a bit.

There is a wrong spelling of the background image for company_werkspoor and company_jurgens, it says comp_illu_manufactering_light instead of comp_illu_manufacturing_light , resulting in a big angry pink face instead of a background.

Nevermind, I made an idiotic error selecting the wrong mod for my testing. This mod has full localisation support.

Fixed. I also tried to add non-English localisation, but it doesn't seem to work...

Woops, I was testing something for the update, and left this in. Thanks for the heads-up!

There's a broken extra copy of a company included in the mod. company_nederlandse_petropilo shows up in game without name localization and is exact copy of the vanilla company_nederlandse_petroleum. Other than that, great mod! Adds lots of needed flavour. I do appreciate all the dutch flavour mods you have done. Makes playing them much more fun.
