Scottish Highlands Issue
I'm playing as Ireland (Tyrone 450 AD start) and I can't complete the "Rule Britannia" mission because it requires completion of the "Conquer Scotland" mission, which itself requires completion of the "Conquer the Highlands" mission. With the mod, the Highlands only consists of 3 provinces, yet the mission requires 4 Highland provinces to be controlled. Is there any way for me to get around this, including modifying source files, or will I have to complete my game without the benefits of completing these 3 missions?

I figured it out. For anybody who might have this issue, here's what you can do.


- From the Steam folder, go to steamapps\workshop\content\236850\217416366\map (I'm assuming the numbers will be the same for everyone, but I'm not 100% sure on that)

- Once you're in the "map" folder, find and open the "area" text document

- Find "highlands_area" (it should have a line just below it that says 252 4242 4488)

- Modify that line to include either Dundee or Aberdeen (250 or 251, respectively - while Dundee is more geographically accurate, I find Aberdeen is better aesthetically because of the way the mod expands Dundee from the base game version of the province, Perth, cutting off Aberdeen from the rest of the Lowlands)

- Remove the same number (250 or 251) from the same line under "lowlands_area" just below


Upon restarting the game, the province you moved will be part of the Highlands area, and you'll be able to finish the missions.
