Ultimate Flavor Persia

Description
IMPORTANT NOTE 1: Officially updated to 1.8.

IMPORTANT NOTE 2: This comes bundled with my Ultimate Flavor Afghanistan and India mod, so don't have all three activated at the same time or you will have issues.

Have you ever wanted to follow the turbulent history of Iran, create the Defenders of The Crescent alliance to stand against the Great Powers, or even divert back to the ancient ways of Persia to revive a third glorious Persian empire?

This behemoth of a flavor mod lets you choose one of these three paths upon game start with tons of new content split between the three of them. Plenty of historical AND alt history content with meaningful and impactful choices. A “Historical Route” tag helps you follow Iran’s history for those wanting to railroad themselves or just learn some history. Over 100 new journal entries and events, but no need to feel overwhelmed as they don't hit you all at once thanks to the branching paths and a paced progression for each. It feels a lot like a focus tree, but is more interactive thanks to journal entries and decisions.

History highlights
  • All historical content besides Amir Kabir’s reforms can be experienced in any starting path you choose
  • Amir Kabir’s reforms. Extra alt history path if you can keep Amir Kabir alive
  • The Great Game
  • The tobacco protests
  • The constitutional revolution
  • The rise of the Pahlavi dynasty
  • Mohammed Mossadeq nationalizing the oil industry
  • And so much more

Defenders of the Crescent highlights
  • Create a unique Defenders of the Crescent diplomatic pact to form alliances
  • Build up your fellow Defenders of the Crescent with new modifiers
  • Create unrest to force cultural seccessions in Ottoman, Russian, and Egyptian territory
  • Help your allies become democracies and recognized

Revive the Persian Empire highlights
  • Reinstate Zoroastrianism as the state religion
  • Rebuild the court at Persepolis
  • Become the Shah-En-Shah
  • Reestablish ancient kingdoms like Babylon, Phoenicia, and Israel

Additional Content
  • Starting resources, buildings, and state traits are more accurate for Persia (shoutout to Saint Dave for providing this research)
  • Unincorporated states to represent starting decentralization of parts of Iran with accompanying journal entry and modifier
  • Zoroastrian pops in Persia and India
  • Ottoman’s have a claim on Khuzestan, so be wary of them
  • Character conditions for ill, severely ill, deathly ill, and exiled
  • Start out as a kingdom, you gotta earn the empire tier
  • Persians start with a tobacco obsession
  • Jizya tax is a law and all Muslim countries start with it (don’t be surprised if the papal states enacts this lol)
  • Under the right laws or path, Persia’s name can change to Iran or even The Islamic Republic of Iran
  • Khanates have a nomads modifier for a huge boost to conscripts
  • More random names for Persian culture
  • Events for all countries discovering Egalitarianism and Human Rights
  • Increased the maximum that negative health detriments can affect a character

Ultimate Flavor Future Content
This is the first of my Ultimate Flavor series of mods. Don’t expect my other ones to be as big as this cuz it was WAY too much work, but still expect tons of new content. I'm going to be working on other countries in the region as stand alone mods until I have one for every country in the Middle-East and then I'll put them into one big flavor mod. Then it'll be onto the next region of the world with likely places being South Asia, China, South America, or North Africa.

Mod Help
I want a flavor mod for every country/region. To do that, I need help. The biggest thing I need are modders. Anyone else who would like to make suggestions for content, do research, or anything else would also be appreciated. Join my discord below if you’re interested or if you just want to follow along with development updates.

Mod Compatibility
Highly doubtful this will work with any overhaul mods as I change a lot of history files. Anything that changes starting building setup, starting pops, state traits and locations, characters for Persia, religion, Middle-Eastern countries, and starting states will cause issues with my mod.

Questions/Bugs
If you have any questions or find any bugs then please let me know in the comments or my Discord and I'll address them ASAP.

Hi, I have a quick bug report and a tested solution.

The journal entry "supportive shah" currently doesn't work with census suffrage, and it's because the file references "law_census_suffrage" when the vanilla law is "law_census_voting"

Changing that one line lets the journal entry work with census suffrage.

Great mod by the way.

I have noticed something weird.
The Bab who is the main agitator for Babism religion is Shi'ite.
Hope you check that out

@Hadi I didn't remove the 1.8 India content. I removed a lot of my own British Raj content instead for now so I could put the mod up (Still have all my East India Content). A lot of my Raj content conflicted with DLC India content and it was a lot to figure out what meshed and what didn't. I might go back and implement properly when I have time.

I have to say that the quality of the mod improved alot now. You removed all of the stupid game breaking vanilla overwriting files, good job.

@Prince_of_Persia did you remove the 1.8 India content?
Prince_of_Persia  [author] Feb 10 @ 10:30am 
It's now updated to 1.8 everyone

Hey everyone, I finally have time to work on this again after wildfires and other writing projects have died down. This will be my main priority this week. Not gonna stop till I'm done.

@Mr Nirwan
After you finished all of amir kabir's reforms, you should start buliding darolfonoon (which takes time and amir kabir will retire probably, so I suggest starting it a bit earlier)
Mr Nirwan Jan 26 @ 12:15pm 
The Reform Persia entry is empty - I have done all the tasks that were available. Yet, it shows me that only 5 out of 6 are done and progress is therefore only 83.3%. The condition „Complete all Amir Kabir reforms“ is unfulfilled. Any idea what‘s wrong? Are some of the reform appearances timed?
