Focused Map - Legacy of Persia and Roads to Power Extended

Description

What:
Reduces the playable area to the Eastern Mediterranean and the Middle East. The intent is to focus on the features of the Legacy of Persia and Roads to Power DLCs.

This version extends the map all the way East. Restoring the Eastern half of Turan (Tarim Basin) and encompassing the whole of India, Tibet, and up into Mongolia. This was done for people who like to play in the East.


Why:
Lag reduction. I'd like to play without the bloat of tens of thousands of characters in far flung realms with which I'll never interact. The smaller map mods in the workshop are still too broad or went a little too narrow for tastes, so I made my own.


Notable Changes:
  • Most regions have been made impassable. The titles and characters from those regions have been removed.
  • Only characters within playable bounds will appear in bookmarks.
  • The 'Unite Africa' decision only requires the playable regions.
  • The 'Secure the Mediterranean' decision no longer requires Mallorca.
  • The Seljuk and Mongol invasion work normally without needing changes.


Known Bugs and Incompatibilities:
  • Not compatible with anything that changes 00_landed_titles.txt, provinces.png, and possibly title histories.


Known Compatibilities:


Other Map Reduction Mods


No Longer Updating:
I'm very sorry to anyone who enjoys my mods, but I'll no longer be updating them.

It's been a long time since I last touched CK3, and I haven't check in on my mods regularly. With a play time of 1000+ hours, I've had my fill of the game.

It took me a long time to fix my mods when RoP came out and I had to practically rebuild them all from scratch. The next big update will will definitely break my map mods again, CTD kind of break.

I'm not at all keen on going through the laborious process of trouble-shooting and fixing these mods again. It's too much work for no reward. Once I get reports that these mods are no longer playable, I will unlist them.

Surprisingly, these maps appear to remain functional without additional work. Updated for 1.16.0.

Paradox came out with a dev blog detailing the next big update shortly after my previous post. I think the changes to steppes and the new nomad government will definitely break this mod. CTD kind of break.

I see a new modder, sateuia440, is making these kinds of map mods for the current version of the game. He calls them "Mapsclusive" and has a bunch already. I'll put a link to them in my map mods' descriptions. I'm sure their will be new modders to take up the mantle of making smaller maps after the nomad update.

I can also see that few of my mods have lost all their preview pictures for some reason. Now it's all like "Missing Image: rh_1.jpg" or similar. I think this is more likely a Steam issue. We'll see if it fixes itself, but I'm not keen on reinstalling just to recreate some pictures either.

Hey, jaimulani98. I'm not sure what could be causing the issues you're seeing. It's still messed up without Historical Invasions?

I'm very sorry to you and to anyone who enjoys my mods, but I'll no longer be updating them. It's been a few months since I last touched CK3. With a play time of 1051 hours, I've had my fill of the game and I no longer have it installed.

It took me a long time to fix this mod when RoP came out, it completely broke my mods and I had to practically rebuilt them all from scratch. I've accepted that the game will eventually render these mods unplayable. I'm not at all keen on reinstalling the game just to go through the process of trouble-shooting and fixing these mods again. It's too much work for no reward.

could you please update your maps to current version, I really enjoy focusing on certain regions and playing, these mods are a gam changer but sadly the characters are outdated in the sense that after the lastest update they look weird compared to the actual game. For instance, Ghurid looks very different and characters in India have weird homogenic faces. I am not using any other mods but historical invasions.

I've done a few of these now and my process has changed from his.

I do #2 before #1.
#3 and #4 aren't necessary, I don't do them.

I use paint .net and notepad++.

1. The most important part is provinces.png in map_data. You need to paint the baronies you wish to remove in color of the impassible terrain. Make sure you don't mess up the color format when you save changes, it's important. I recommend trying to remove some small part first to see if it works and you're doing everything correctly. I use GIMP, but most of graphics editors should do.

2. Removing titles from 00_landed_titles in common/landed_titles. I use Visual Code, but Notepad will do just fine too.

3. Remove the affected holy sites in common/religion/religions. I also remove them from common/religions/holy_sites, but I'm not sure if that's really necessary. I don't know if you can have a religion with no holy sites, so in cases where I have to remove all of them I add one still existing just in case.

4. common/scripted_triggers. Just copy from my mod. Needed so it doesn't crash with T&T.

5. Removing affected historical characters, because they have a tendency to show up in game as wandering characters and fill the courts. That's history/characters and history/titles (that one may not be necessary).

6. Removing affected bookmarks.

That's the rough outline. Feel free to ask if you have further questions.

Mmm. I'd rather not. I'm a shy guy and that level of 1-on-1 with a stranger makes me nervous.

I'll repost Starmender's short guide here, that's what got me started.

Could I add you on discord? I'm curious about the process on how to make modifications like this
