Less Border-Gore

DISCLAIMER: Africa will never look like that in a Vic 3 game lol

Tired of Britain or the US sniping your colonies? Even though you had 90% of the coast? And America still has slavery?

This mod is for you!!!

The “Less Border-Gore” mod aims to reduce and prevent the amount of border gore created in Victoria 3. It’s not perfect, but it works (for the most part). It’s also not super hard-coded, so the player can create whatever colonies they want! With clean borders! Without having to go to war with the UK because they own a single province in Tanganyika!



Added a decision to Great Britain that will transfer/integrate all of British Raj subjects (Princely States, Pakistani subjects, Burma) into British Raj. It is available once the EIC becomes the Raj. AI will always take these decisions.

Added a decision to the Netherlands that will integrate all of the Dutch East Indies' subjects into the DEI. DEI will remain a dominion. Available at game start. Any additional subjects of the Netherlands/DEI will be integrated into the DEI.

Britain now has an additional decision to integrate vassals/EIC treaty ports in Malaya, unlockable by the same requirements as its Raj decisions.


Added a journal entry with a set of events to allow countries to establish a claim on a colonial territory, so long as they get there first. Upon establishing a colony, a button in the JE will trigger an event, allowing you to lay claim to the state. AI will always take the claims, so that you don’t get weird and ugly split-state colonies!


Windward Coast
Guinea
Volta
Gabon
Eastern New Guinea
Congo
Zaire (whoever owns Bas Congo gets claims on modern-day DR Congo)
Kenya (claim Kenya and get Rift Valley)
Tanganyika Territory (whoever owns Zanzibar gets claims on Tanganyika and Lindi aka modern-day Tanzania)
Kazembe
Zambia
Namibia (establishing a colony on either Hereroland or Namaqualand gives claims to entirety of modern-day Namibia)
Equatoria
Ubangi-Shari
Uganda
Botswana
Zambezi
Micronesia
Solomon Islands
Nauru
Fiji
Vanuatu

Portugal gets all of Angola and Mozambique
Belgium gets the entire Bas-congo state, as well as a boost towards colonial expansion
If Belgium doesn't exist, other colonial nations can claim Zaire
South Africa gets all of Zululand, Vrystaat, Transvaal, and Northern Cape if they are unclaimed
Egypt annexes Darfur

• Added and changed claims on decentralized states, as well as centralized states to encourage the AI to create more realistic borders.
  
• Completing expeditions in Africa gives you a boost to colonial growth speed.
  
• Germany, Belgium, Oregon (Columbia District), and Japan start with colonial affairs. South Africa is a dominion of the UK. Hohenzollern is a Personal Union with Prussia (I thought it was cooler lol).
  
• The DEI and The Raj should be hyper aggressive towards states in their respective regions, in an attempt to make the cleanest colonial empires possible. This can be adjusted in the game rules.
  
• Argentina gets a modifier towards colonial growth so they can create historical borders easier
  
• Colonial European nations should be more inclined to own all of their claims in Africa
  
• Great Britain should try to take as much of Malaya as possible
  
• Great Britain will never attack Australian or Canadian countries
  
• Yemen, Saudi Arabia, and Somalia will try to unify
  
• Maguindanao is gone because its ugly and provides no gameplay
  
• Added AI strategies for the EIC (eats India), DIE (eats Indonesia), and Russia (eats Central Asia) so that these countries should be better at cleaning up their borders
  
• Slight buff to colonization speed, so there are less decentralized nations faster
  
• Journal entry and events for a cleaner Austrian-formed Germany
  
• Confederate States of America only spawns in the historical states
  
• Free States of America only spawns in New England
  
• Vanilla Indochina JE is less buggy
  
• Added a dynamic country to Indochina (French Indochina, British Indochina, etc.)
  
• ADJ Senegal is now called ADJ West Africa
  
• West Africa now encompasses all of Senegal and Niger, minus North Cameroon and Modern Nigeria
  
• ADJ Niger is now called ADJ Nigeria
  
• ADJ Niger encompasses the modern borders of Nigeria
  
• North Cameroon is now within the scope of ADJ Congo
  
• Lourenco Marquis is now within the scope of ADJ Zanj (East Africa)
  
• The Confed. of the Rhine and Prussia will eat the minor German states upon creation (optional)
  
• AI should no longer annex colonial subjects
  
• Parliamentary Republics are led by a Prime Minister (previously Chancellor)
  
• Parliamentary dictatorships are led by a Chancellor (previously Lord-Protector)
  
• Presidential Technocracies are led by a Director (previously Chief Engineer)
