KSRE - Kovas' States Rework: Expanded

Available for the 1.16+ Update!

Kovas' States Rework: Expanded is a continuation mod of the original KSR which brings back with it many previously removed fan-favorite features, such as state renaming and custom subjects. Players will now be able to restore certain historical borders, bend territory alongside natural barriers like rivers and make use of underlooked landmasses. Among new states that were implemented, a significant amount of vanilla states have also been changed and improved.

Updates are not being released on a fixed schedule. I update the mod whenever I have the time and motivation personally. Pressing updates such as critical bug fixes can be expected more often.

This is a go-to check for mod conflict. KSRE has absolutely no bugs in terms of the Rhineland as it was tested over several years, which means you are running additional mods that affect focus trees.

KSRE is a base map mod, which means that compatiblities should not be initiated by me but rather by the author of the other mod in question. I am, however, fully open to the idea of modders making compatiblity mods for KSRE.

The mod currently only supports English localisation as this is the only language from the game that I know on a C-level basis. However, submods for KSRE translations into various other languages do exist on the Workshop.

This is because KSRE needs to be played on a brand new save. For example, loading vanilla save games with KSRE creates conflict.
