Anyone playing with a good mod on DW 5.2?

[Scipio Manbini]

I should have somewhere around 1500 hours put into this game on and off of Steam and its time to play with some mods.

Im looking for an overhaul mod, something to really flesh out or mix up the game (no weird sci-fi/fantasy or non earth settings though).

I already gave a few a shot on my own and I cant seem to get the damn things to run or cant find the right files.

So I figured I would ask here to see if anyone is running a good mod for this in 2020. Im not on Windows 10 so it shouldnt be a big deal to find a good one that works.

Something like MEIOU or Magna Mundi (Im aware MM is actually a cluster F) if not MEIOU itself.

I just couldnt find the right versions and there isnt a whole lot of solid info on which ones are good and which ones work with DW 5.2.

Almost all forum posts are earlier than 2015 and seem to be at least 2 version updates ago if not pre DW.

Any input would be appreciated!

Its hard to even figure out which ones are worth playing much less finding working versions of the mod.

For DW, i just play MEIOU, other mod are dead at this time. No one work on mod for this game.

A mod I found to be better than MEIOU is Magna Mundi DW Nede Edition last updated in 2018 or 2019 and still being worked on found here " https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/threads/magna-mundi-dw-nede-edition-dw-5-2.797405/ "

MEIOU is good so far, I started as Serbia and already beat the tar out of everyone around me while building up to Empire rank by 1420...not sure where to jump next without turning it into map painter.

The map is much better and I love that every country can flex on you a bit instead of being a steamroll, getting picked on by Hungary every 5 years from 1356 to 1410 was a bit aggravating but made it all the more satisfying when I finally broke them.

Except one really odd thing...core take 300(!) years to set in or to go away. Thats way too damn long, Im only 70 years in so perhaps there are events or decisions that can speed this along.

If not, it seems like Ive already reached the limit of my expansion basically securing the balkans and a bit of the Aegean coast.


I already tried that version of Magna Mundi but it causes the game to CTD within a few minutes.

Thanks both of you for answering.

I am on Windows 7.

C>Program Files(x86)>Steam>Steamapps>Common>EU3

Inside the EU3 folder there are two applications, one will start the launcher and the other will simply start the game up.

My only recent experience was with MEIOU, though I did have Magna Mundi DW installed at some point and I also needed the launcher to apply it.

Using MEIOU required me to copy the entire EU3 folder from this path onto my desktop and then place the mod files inside to get the mod to work.

You will of course want to follow the specific instructions of each mod as to where it should be installed, but it will likely be inside the mod folder on this same path.


I figured out how coring works in MEIOU, it certainly doesnt take 300 years.

From what I can tell its something roughly along the lines of "hold province for 20 years without rebels taking it over, province gets 'gaining control' modifier, hold province 20 more years without rebels taking it over, province is cored"

Its possibly 25 years which would bring it in line with Vanilla, just with extra conditions.

Rebels not taking it over is simply an intuitive guess, I couldnt find much information on the mod.
