Will this mod be updated? When I tried running it just before some visual bugs were there and decisions that I could do nothing with. I was not sure if there were going to be more so I just decided to disable it. I really like the additions though, would be interested in using this if there were plans to update it. Thanks.

@Patrus - PB That looks pretty nice. Although one thing I've always hated about EU4 is provinces where the river and border don't quite meet. I know it isn't always that way in real life, but it's nicer to look at :P

Oh forgot to mention, i've added a small test mod that is dependant on this that fixes some of the balkan borders, its been in the work for months/years and still need a whole lot of work, but should help with creating much more historically accurate borders.

Ah very sorry for the late fix to the georgian formable, give me a shout if there are any problems.
Petrus - PB  [author] 17 Nov, 2022 @ 7:24am 
Yea thanks, i know there to be some odd behaviours at the moment, so if you see anything particularly crazy, just let me know. I will hopefully be updating more of the near east very soon.

At the moment, im still planning some major graphical map changes in eastern europe as EU4 has somehow massively distorted it from the original projection, leading to odd quirks.

@Petrus - PB - Wow, I really didn't expect this mod to be updated, much love!

Hello everyone.

Chocolate has been updated again once more.

Im sorry i left everyone waiting so long. But the mod should be functional in 1.34 now and the features of 1.34 should be playable.
biggie_boss 14 Feb, 2022 @ 12:00pm 
Any plans for an update? This was one of my favorite mods.

@Petrus - PB - Do you plan on releasing a new version when the DLC hits?
Petrus - PB  [author] 3 Sep, 2021 @ 9:53am 
I will definitely have a look at what can be done, be it a small bunch of missions or even a more unified attempt to allow balkan nations to unify the region.

On a sidenote, i've been a bit busy with other stuff, but have been able to set up a beta for people to try out new changes:

These primarily at the moment are related to coastlines.
biggie_boss 30 Aug, 2021 @ 7:40am 
Yeah that, or restoration of Tvrtko's borders. He also crowned himself king of Serbia, so potentially something to do with that. Their big defining marks in the time period were brokering trade deals with Ragusa (ultimately they wanted to subjugate them) and resistance to Ottoman expansion and Hungarian claims. The Kotromanic dynasty was also mixed with Serbian, Hungarian and Croatian nobility, so I suppose they could have eventually gone on to claim those lands had they expanded.
Petrus - PB  [author] 28 Aug, 2021 @ 8:02pm 
I could definitely look into seeing options for Bosnia.

A big problem in the balkans is the lack of their historical longevity in this period and they wouldn't again emerge as independant states until the ottoman decline.

This makes elements of it tough to come up with as you cannot easily follow their historical path through this period.

So if you have good ideas of how to set it up, you can join the discord and type some ideas out, because if i had to think of it now, i would potentially work with the bosnian church, perhaps ottoman vassalage or ottoman resistance, something along those lines?
biggie_boss 28 Aug, 2021 @ 6:42pm 
I'd love you if you added a mission tree for Bosnia
Petrus - PB  [author] 21 Aug, 2021 @ 8:58am 
Mhh, the flag is definitely worth it I believe.
The country color is tough, will need some testing to find a nice color.
Athien 21 Aug, 2021 @ 7:53am 
your flag will look better in banner flag mod

Not entirely sold on it, any suggestions with regards to this?
Athien 21 Aug, 2021 @ 6:38am 
yeah
Petrus - PB  [author] 21 Aug, 2021 @ 6:27am 
This one you mean?
Athien 21 Aug, 2021 @ 5:54am 
just for the flag blue doesnt fit with the original venetian flag
Petrus - PB  [author] 21 Aug, 2021 @ 5:30am 
The Franco-Spanish border will most likely be updated, we are currently working on reworking most of europe's coastlines.

Any relevence for an Orange Venice? I could definitely do it, but dont know the historical context of it.
Athien 21 Aug, 2021 @ 4:10am 
can you pls adjust the franco spanish border and also if you can make venices colour to orange pls do it

Hey guys, i wanna keep you updated.

This is the progress of what Chairman Meow (JP) and I have been doing.
Sebastian 14 Aug, 2021 @ 5:30am 
youre welcome. Its a cool mod so happy to help :)
Petrus - PB  [author] 6 Aug, 2021 @ 3:12pm 
Coming up soon is an update to the coastline and rivers of most of europe + the plans to redraw the entire south of europe as apperently its all missaligned, you can check out the work in Discord.
Petrus - PB  [author] 6 Aug, 2021 @ 3:11pm 
Have fun playing :p
Petrus - PB  [author] 6 Aug, 2021 @ 3:11pm 
The crash should hopefully be resolved now. Thanks for helping me track it down.
Petrus - PB  [author] 1 Aug, 2021 @ 4:35pm 
mhh, wonder if its something to do with that.
Sebastian 1 Aug, 2021 @ 5:03am 
Graag gedaan ;), yea lol. Magdeburg is the leader of a union with Hildesheim.
Petrus - PB  [author] 31 Jul, 2021 @ 2:44pm 
I assume Magdeburg has a union with another bishop correct?
Petrus - PB  [author] 31 Jul, 2021 @ 2:30pm 
Thank you very much. That helps a lot in fixing it.
Sebastian 31 Jul, 2021 @ 1:16pm 
Sebastian 31 Jul, 2021 @ 1:15pm 
I found the cause of (one of my) crash(es): when the province of Magdeburg is converted to protestantism by a centre the game crashes. Its fine up to 99.9% but at 100% its boom over.
George Soros Gaming 30 Jul, 2021 @ 6:25pm 
That sounds like an excellent idea as well. If you do decide to give prots the schools of thought mechanic, I'd be more than happy to help with it.
Petrus - PB  [author] 30 Jul, 2021 @ 1:58am 
Interesting, can you show a screenshot of your situation in Europe perhaps, thats the best idea i have for where a cause might be and if i can overlay your screenshot with my test games, perhaps i can see a common problem?
Sebastian 30 Jul, 2021 @ 1:32am 
Yea for me it was also around that time. Once I think around 1485, but later I managed to make it till 1495.
Petrus - PB  [author] 30 Jul, 2021 @ 12:55am 
Maybe, the current idea is actually to rename protestantism to Lutheranism, as its pretty much that, given the state churches etc.

Further, the biggest reason why I gave it to reformed first, was because it was the more boring protestant faith for now.
George Soros Gaming 29 Jul, 2021 @ 5:57pm 
Using the schools of thought mechanic for the reformed faith is brilliant, do you have any plans to use it for mainstream Protestantism as well?
Petrus - PB  [author] 29 Jul, 2021 @ 12:32pm 
Hi thanks for that, i believe it's not shown in the error log as ive mostly cleared that out. I will continue looking for the problem, but i stumbled upon it myself around the year 1480.
todonnell81 29 Jul, 2021 @ 5:40am 
thanks! you have a patreon or anything?
Sebastian 29 Jul, 2021 @ 3:50am 
Ive posted the error log from my ctd in the discussions tab. It occurs without me doing anything. I load the game, hit unpause and a few seconds later it crashes.
Petrus - PB  [author] 29 Jul, 2021 @ 1:51am 
Hi, i had a similar idea to colonial regions but probably less extreme :p
I will definitely see if I can make it compatible with it.
todonnell81 28 Jul, 2021 @ 5:02pm 
rather than create your own new colonial regions, you ought just make this compatible with "un nouveau monde" here: https://sp.zhabite.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2341439284
saves yourself the time and it's a great mod. i don't think it conflicts much either. thanks
Petrus - PB  [author] 28 Jul, 2021 @ 3:15pm 
ive noticed one as well and im trouble shooting to find the crash.
Sebastian 28 Jul, 2021 @ 11:50am 
Hey I got a crash. Could I somehow send you the crash report? Its a great mod with a great game im having so im hoping I can continue if its fixable.
todonnell81 27 Jul, 2021 @ 6:05am 
i was curious because it doesn't appear to do anything to c. regions, yet causes conflict with a mod that adds colonial regions I want to use in conjunction with this. it just reverts back to vanilla c. regions. oh well i guess
Petrus - PB  [author] 26 Jul, 2021 @ 11:10pm 
There are plans to do so, for now we are experimenting with a Colonial South Africa Region and a Transvaal Trade Company
todonnell81 26 Jul, 2021 @ 8:10pm 
does this mod do anything to alter colonial regions?
Petrus - PB  [author] 13 Jul, 2021 @ 10:05am 
Added it to discussion instead. Hopefully that works.
