americas mod

[riley02474]

any reason there has not been a mod that adds the Americas ? I assume it would just be too big for the game to handle. I don't think it would be too much of a crazy alt hist mod either given the discovery of the Americans ended off the middle ages could be a nice challenge to rush technology in order to than add the Americas to the map.

There is a mod called After the End which has a post apocalyptic America on a map rotated close to 90 degrees. There is a lot of fun to be had there, but it obviously is a fictional mod.

The issue is creating an America mod of the relevant time period wouldn't be realistic as we don't know enough about America during the time period. Keep in mind the first established well documented contact was in 1493, and they weren't there for the locals history. While South America was more advanced then North America they didn't keep enough data to establish things like borders, leader genealogies, religious practices, and local customs for 600+ years. In other words anyone making the mod would have to fake it, and while faking it they would constantly be thinking "Am I really making America for CK3 players to play" to which the answer is no not really making the work a 'hard sell'.

I think the opposite. It could be that there will be a DLC some day.
Same company, game EU4, DLC named Conquest of Paradise. America.
Well, it isn't that popular (players' opinions here in Steam).

Why am I having this opinion?
There are huge amount of documents about history, yes, but
in this game ONLY ONE thing - like plague -
could change the history of a county or a whole kingdom.

If England would be ruined by plague in late 800s, and
then conquered by Vikings, a lot of dates and happenings included in the game would be useless.
And something else would have to be improvised.

Would it be fun to try to conquer America?
Would it sell as a DLC?
