As I see, this mod adds many new releasables. It really makes state mod better, so I will propose new historical countries and reasoning behind them:

  • Kingdom of Galicia and Lodameria - it existed as kingdom within Austria and had a parliament. Good for Austrian Playthroughs. Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kingdom_of_Galicia_and_Lodomeria

  • Kingdom of Lombardy-Venetia - it was an Austrian puppet state in north Italy. Would be nice for balkanisation, and for Austrian Playthroughs. Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kingdom_of_Lombardy–Venetia

  • Add cores to all German States (~not HRE~). As, in game there're tags for Wurtemberg, Saxony, Prussia, Hanover, Mecklenburg and Schleswig-Holstein. They should have cores on their repsective land. Same thing with Slovakia, I don't understand why on the game start there're no cores for them.

  • Lastly, Duchy of Courland and Semigallia - if Latgalia exists, why not Courland? It would make Lithuania, Poland or hell, even Imperial Germany playthroughs so much more fun. Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duchy_of_Courland_and_Semigallia

Hi! Most of the current added releasable nations are mostly based on (but not limited to) unique ethnicities. Latgalians, for example, have a distinct language and can be considered a seperate Baltic group, and the same goes for Samogitia.

What you mentioned here are very much imperial constructs/satellites. I could obviously add most of these in the game, but maybe not as releasables, and instead puppet satellites that can be formed via decision (for example, Lombardy-Venetia as satellite of Austria-Hungary).

German lands like Saxony, Prussia, Hannover etc. having cores in their respective territories could create a very messy Europe via post-AI peace deals (for example, Prussia and Germany existing at the same time makes little sense). This is probably why the only way to get these fragmented German countries is by occupying all of Germany first as France.

It is a slippery slope. I will keep in mind your suggestions and will consider them. Thank you for playing the mod!

Oh I understand. Forgot how base game AI works (or how it *doesn't* work). Shame, but nothing can be done I assume.

And making some states only releasable with decision is fair, I guess. It would be more plausible that way, and map after peace deals wouldn't be a disaster.

However, keeping in mind you reasoning I could suggest other releasables:

  • Two Sicilies (Naples) - South Italian culture is different than North Italian, same with the dialect. For example: Sicilian and Neapolitan are widely spoken languages in the area. Source: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kingdom_of_the_Two_Sicilies
    Side note: Adding this country would mean, that South Italian states should be slighty changed.


  • Quebec - Francophone Canadians are a really important part of Canadian Society. And, of course there are many indepedence movements in region. Even the Canadian focus tree mentions them. Source: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quebec

    I think, that's all. Hope it makes more sense, as in the scope of the mod!

These are definitely reasonable. Quebec is already planned to be introduced in the next update, and I will definitely consider the two Sicilies.

A suggestion i have is
1, make west berlin a city for more cold war scenarios.
second, add provinces in indochina for thailand!
the article below shows provinces that can be added for thailands annexations during ww2

Hi! Asia will be reworked later, right now my concern is putting more focus on Europe and the Americas. As for West Berlin, this is already very possible. West Berlin and East Berlin are split into two victory points right after the Yalta Conference (if Soviets agree to the division of Germany into East and West). I will consider your suggestions regarding Thailand and Indochina.
omoso 13 Feb, 2022 @ 12:58pm
