Greek Fire

Description
A small mod that gives Byzantium the benefits of Greek fire as a modifier at the start of the game. During the game if you manage to live long enough you will be able to develop a more advanced form of Greek Fire, historical accuracy may vary. This will give you extra benefits related to having more potent Greek Fire at your disposal.

I have tried to make this fairly balanced, keep in mind historically Greek Fire was extremely unbalanced, but playing as byzantium isn't easy. Even with the help of greek fire starting a game as Byzantium is still very hard. The mod is savegame compatible though so if you have a campaign in progress you can still use the mod.

Since this is my first mod any feedback is welcome as well as any bugs/ balance issues.

Enjoy!

Can confirm crashing as described below, a number of African provinces just crash the game for me with this mod enabled :(
Sad...

While I did say that this still works, I have discovered something shocking: There are a ton of provinces in Africa and the Americas where merely clicking on them caused my game to CTD. I only have three mods: This mod, Overpowered Byzantium and OP Flagship. After testing by disabling just this mod, I found that THIS was the mod that's been causing it!

I don't know why or how, but this is the culprit. Oh, and I very nearly lost my ongoing game as Byzantium, as after I disabled this mod, it wiped my save folder. I was only able to recover it through clicking the Continue Game Button.

I also would like to inform you of the presence of another bug with this mod, a Good Bad Bug, as TVTropes would call it. There's not one, but two instances of the Greek Fire modifier. Similarly, there's two instances of the Improve Greek Fire decision.

To my knowledge, it still works. A cross-compatibility update between this mod and Overpowered Byzantium would be appreciated. As one of the features of that mod is a Greek Fire customization option for the Flagship. Have it so that this mod potentially beefs that up?

It doesn't work with the 1356 mod, it crashes upon launching a game.

It should still work even though the launcher may alert you that its outdated

Can you please update this mod?

@Mazutaki Perfect, the mod was so simple that it probably would have worked on almost any version unless there was a large revamp to Byzantium or the modifier system but having it be compatible with other mods is a huge help.

I made a version of the mod compatible with every other mod there is and version independant, meaning you only have to change the version number for future updates in the .mod file. Add me and I can send it to you if you want.

@Mazutaki Sure, if you want to make it more compatible that would be great. I haven't even tested this on the current versions of EU4 though lol
