@Mason Did you not see the posts below or the date of the mod?

mod crashes

Sorry folks, I'm not active any longer.

rip

rip update

oh. darn

Unfortunately, Dharma seems to have screwed up things more than it actually fixed them. As I have very little time at the moment, I wouldn't expect an update any time soon.

update when?

Update? Last time I tried using this I got a crash on game start.

@BrantaGoose
This uses the code behind the estates feature to function, which comes with the Cossacks DLC. Once that is added to the base game, Cossacks will no longer be needed.

Is it possible to make a version without Cossacks? If not, why is it needed?

@Arra When a colonial nation becomes free and forms a new country that desyncs the game

Because I want to try this mod because COOOL

What do you mean "DeSync"? like in multiplayer?

Any plans on continuing this mod? Fyi this mod causes some desync when a nation takes this decision in 1.25.1

I haven't noticed any trouble playing on 1.22, just needs a version patch to get rid of the incompatability notification.

@Pants
No.

does this mod prevent other nations from making colonies besides the normal colonizers?

ayyy lmao i noticed your using middle earth RNW
+respect

Pls update

Would it be possible to make other historical nations for countries to choose from? Like have a nation in colonial Colombia choose between Colombia, Venezuela, or Ecuador, or a country in Colonial Mexico choose between Texas, Mexico, and UPCA?

This is a great idea. Well done

whos that postcolonial nation

@s1cko
I'm afraid not, no :(

It is possible to make the background color something else other than white and the flags contain other designs?

@AHWM
It should be, but no promises

Is it compatible with Extended Timeline?

@famaouz
The game mechanic that it uses requires the estates system

Why does it require Cossacks?

@YOY
Yea, sorry about that, I was just finishing it up when you released your mod - this took a long time to get working! And yup, you're correct. It uses the independent estate system to generate a bunch of randomized tags (invisibly), and then lets the player choose from among those.

@GamesCooky
Unfortunately, the only thing the game mechanics let me control is the name. Perhaps if paradox adds more features in the future this will become possible.

Fuck, I thought my mod was the only in it's class, but now this one comes in and outshines it 10x! Ok JK, awesome mod. I suppose it uses the Cossack and Dhimmi randomized nations system?

Holy moly, this mod is a great idea of something i wish already was in the game. When playing as a colonial nation and managing to gain independence, you should have the option to choose name, flag and color for the nation :D

You could actually set that it would actually pick the largest provinces or the capital, so that you could actually name your country and stuff, by changing the name of provinces (I know you have similiar system in this mod)

the icon for this mod is great :D

I hope in the future the names get changed a bit to fit the nation's culture. So "Tesk" would be "Tesque" in French for example.

@Elzephor aw well, good mod regardless!

@Boostcat, ParadoxicalOutcome
I'm afraid specifications of this type aren't possible. This mod only works because paradox has included a function that makes random countries for Independent estates. That algorithm is responsible for choosing the name, color, and national idea set of the new nation, and I can't change how it does any of this. As far as I can tell, the only input it takes is the names of your provinces and areas, so the best I can do is give you some options from those.

@Elzephor
I didnt know that about that interesting fact. Maybe making it so that the country's name has to be from a province below 6-8 letters?

+ParadoxicalOutcome That is pretty much impossible I'd say

Is there a way to make it so we can name the nation ourselves?

Did you know if there is a way to make a decision to rename a nation? That's could be interesting :), but good work :)

@Krebsig
Yup! I mean it when I say its compatible with everything ;)

Does this work with your RNW Improvement mod?

@Boostcat
Short of changing the names of every province and area, no. Consider though that many (if not most) post-colonial countries IRL use adopted native names
Eg Canada, Arizona, Mexico, Chihuahua, Kansas, Ontario, etc

the new colony names make them sound like native empires. Is there any way to fix this?

Glory be upon thou, Elz. Aside from the idea issue, this mod is pretty unique and cool.

Who's that Colonial Nation? It's...

(Sorry.)

@DaddyDerek
I'm exploring that possibility.
@Molson
Yup!

does this work if I use a mod that adds new colonial nations?

This is cool, keep it up bro!
