HIP: The Modular Mod for CKII

Historical Immersion Project (HIP) is a collection of mods for Crusader Kings II which are designed to be able to work together in any combination. As the name suggests, all of its modules share a common focus upon historical immersion. It has a single, automatic installer and consists of:

+ EMF: Extended Mechanics & Flavor - Core overhaul
+ SWMH: SomeWhat More Historic - Map and history overhaul
---> SED: English Localisation for SWMH
---> MiniSWMH: High-performance SWMH
+ ARKOpack Armoiries: CoA overhaul
+ ARKOpack Interface: GUI overhaul
+ CPRplus - Extensive portraits overhaul
+ LTM - Graphics overhaul (textures, terrain, 3D shaders, etc.)
+ Shortcuts - Combination of Arumba's Keyboard Shortcuts and Internal Tab Shortcuts for quickly navigating the interface

Use this group to keep track of your HIP friends and new HIP releases.

We also have a burgeoning presence on the CKII Wiki, which should help explain HIP to new and old users alike. Wikis are always a work-in-progress, but this one's under rapid construction, so do also check back later for more in-depth and detailed information:

EMF keeps a comprehensive changelog archive all the way back to its first version, which is really handy since mechanics documentation otherwise isn't exactly widespread:

Finally, HIP has a small but growing standalone web presence:
