Expanded China Mechanics [Pre-1.18]

This mod is not currently being updated or supported by me, and is very out of date for the current version of the game. If others would like to use the assets or base their own revamp with content from this mod, they are welcome to do so if they give credit. Many of the mechanics and concepts used in the mod have been made redundant by later expansions, and are quite frankly more historically accurate.



This mod is intended to increase the amount of flavor and depth to playing as Ming or any Chinese Minor in EUIV. Have you ever played as a Chinese state and wanted more flavor or options? Have you overthrown the Ming and kicked out the Manchu, but are frustrated that you can't proclaim your own dynasty? This mod may help you out!

FEATURES
– TWO alternate-history bookmarks: "Era of 10,000 Princes" and "Romance of The Five Dynasties." These will not affect play at later start dates!
– TWO new historical bookmarks: "The Imjin War (23 May 1592)" and “The Fall of the Ming” (1 Apr 1644).
– A decision for any Chinese culture to have their tag become the culture group union
– A revised system for the Ming collapse that uses the Disaster Mechanics: Ming can survive, but it won't be the same and can't reclaim the Mandate unless it does some serious legwork. Ming can also reform into a better government type if it survives to ADM 20.
– New government form: Chinese State, which uses a new Faction system with unique events
– Form a Dynasty: A state that dominates a region of China can switch to a new tag that befits a claimant to the Mandate of heaven. Several old tags (Shun, Xi, Zhou, Ming, and Changsheng) and one new one (Zhen) can be formed by a Chinese state based on their general region. Changsheng is the dynastic tag for the minority cultures in the Yunnan and Guangxi regions, and Zhen is a reference to Wiz's Azerbaijan mega-LP/AAR.
– New culture tags to replace the gap left by the old ones getting kicked up to dynastic status: Guangxi, Gansu, Wuhan, and Bo.
– New Foreign Dynasties: the Mongols can reform the Yuan Khanate and the Japanese, Koreans and Tibetans can establish the Ben, Li, and Cang dynasties.
– New Colonial Nations: Chinese colonies in Australia and North America can change their cultures and may form new nations if independent.
– A new Liaodong culture and Liao tag.
– New idea groups for Chinese Minorities, South Chinese, Xibei Chinese and Liao Chinese.
– A special triggered modifier for Chinese states that encourages conquest until there's only one dynasty left.
– Special missions to conquer regions of China that will help speed up conquest a bit.
– Hidden Fun Stuff, which is toggleable on and off.
