@caracus could you make an updated version pls
Caracus  [author] Feb 17, 2023 @ 11:55am 
@Der Kaiser yeah
RawafidhDestroyer Feb 17, 2023 @ 10:48am 
is it outdated?
L0rdzie Jun 8, 2020 @ 1:00pm 
Thx :)
Caracus  [author] Jun 3, 2020 @ 10:20am 
Well it is currently outdated but the Greater German Confederation has most of them plus some new ones working for the 1.9.2 patch. As long as my cores are static and not done via decision integration I wont make an update here since I would have to reassign them manually every time.
L0rdzie Jun 3, 2020 @ 8:38am 
Great idea btw, I really appriciate this mod! :)
L0rdzie Jun 3, 2020 @ 8:37am 
Is this mod still working in the newest version of HOI4 (1.9.2)?

Caracus  [author] Jun 25, 2019 @ 8:06am

Zwerchfell Jun 25, 2019 @ 8:04am 
1.7 compatible?
RoyalObamacare Jun 11, 2019 @ 3:48am 
Will you update it soon?
Caracus  [author] Apr 18, 2019 @ 10:56am 
A mod of this kind cant be iron man compatible @Phaszma :/
RoyalObamacare Apr 18, 2019 @ 9:23am 
what about the achievements?
Lord Maxatron Mar 19, 2019 @ 8:02am 
Thank you sooooo much :D
Caracus  [author] Mar 18, 2019 @ 4:01pm 
@Lord Maxatron hadnt enough time left to start to start a game so I just added the Suez Canal and Kaiser Wilhelms-Land. I also renamed the bordering state to Bismarck Archipel(ago). Did my best recreation I could with the given provinces :)
Lord Maxatron Mar 18, 2019 @ 12:01pm 
Yeah i would indeed like the old German colony. And about the Suez I would just like to have control of the canal without owning half of Egypt. Thanks for considering the idea and have a nice week.
Caracus  [author] Mar 18, 2019 @ 11:06am 
@Sturmkamp I will definetly keep those state suggestions in mind, however decisions and events are currently not in scope for this mod. Gotta do some research for those points ;)
@Lord Maxatron you mean like for the old german colonies there? Whats the deal with the Suez?^^

Anyhow im currently working on the Greater German Confederation mod and my freetime is limited for the next few weeks. So im not promising anything atm :)
Lord Maxatron Mar 18, 2019 @ 8:41am 
May I add another suggestion. I know those two states that i am about to ask for aren't very connected to Germany or France. But would you mind making a state for the Suez canal and northern Papua New Guinea? Thank you.
Sturmkamp Mar 17, 2019 @ 4:55pm 
You could add extra states like the City of Danzig, Pressburg, Pilsen or Hultschin. Also it would be nice to have some decisions e.g. to pressure Denmark and Belgium for territory after a German victory over France, splitting events/ decisions for Belgium and Switzerland if the three neighbor states are in the same faction or have good diplomatic relationships.
My last suggestion is to create an event like the Jalta conference for the axis to spilt Russia along the Ural between Germany and Japan if they defeat Russia together - with cores for puppets or just conquering.
proboscis ape Mar 16, 2019 @ 7:18am 
Very good mod, do more !
Lord Maxatron Mar 15, 2019 @ 1:05pm 
Thank you so much! And once again keep up the good work.
Caracus  [author] Mar 15, 2019 @ 11:22am 
@Lord Maxatron Schleswig should be there now :D I also added the former part of Luxemburg aswell( I added the province left to eupen to it aswell in order to remove extra states or weird parts) Also i made a small 2 province state at Sedan so that you can draw the new border at the river Maas or Meuse in english after a war with France :). I added a new picture above showing the new possible borders.
Caracus  [author] Mar 15, 2019 @ 9:33am 
I just checked and it seems like I forgot to copy it into the mod folder. I was thinking about adding a new state that contains the provinces Luxemburg lost 1839. I will give Kaiserreich a quick look and see what they did. It also crossed my mind expanding on that area to make a new state that has the river as a border ( new state that includes sedan for example) but that would and could result in some border gore well see :D
Lord Maxatron Mar 15, 2019 @ 7:38am 
Thanks for the update. But i have noticed that you didn't add north Schleswig is this a mistake or
intentional? Also can you make another state in Belgium to look like more in kaiserreich aka Endsieg(Western Belgium). Thanks and keep up the good work.
Caracus  [author] Mar 14, 2019 @ 1:05pm 
Updated to 1.6.1
Caracus  [author] Mar 9, 2019 @ 9:11am 
After 1.6.1 , I gotta remake almost every state :((
Lord Maxatron Mar 9, 2019 @ 4:26am 
When is the update?
Caracus  [author] Aug 24, 2018 @ 1:54pm 
Yeah ofc if you think about it its the right thing to change the numbers but if you dont have that in mind you wont do it. I didnt think about it either^^
The Kaiser Aug 20, 2018 @ 2:00pm 
I have tried for hours trying to do so with ‘Better States’ and failed. Don’t they have to be in a numerical order or something complex of that sort? Because if otherwise it is as easy as simply choosing a state tag then shame on all of those modders whom believe it a good idea to use the very next id numbers beyond vanilla’s...I mean there must be a reason otherwise you’d think most would attempt using a further numerical id (i.e.”999”) in order to maximize their mod’s compatibility.
Caracus  [author] Aug 20, 2018 @ 12:21pm 
I dont really see why that shouldnt be possible, if you manually edit the numbers and assign them again to their strategic regions and supply areas (and maybe validate the buildings, not sure if you need that) and change the localization it should work just fine... just keep in mind that that wont work for states that went through changes in both mods :)
The Kaiser Aug 20, 2018 @ 12:16pm 
My only issue with these kinds of mods is the state id’s, which invalidate almost any other mod which adds states of its own, no matter where in the world it is located. Is there a way to simply alter these state id’s to be (for example) to 900 and over? That way it would allow for a great deal of compatibility, as all of these national overhaul or releasable nation mods consistently use the same 743, 744, 745 (etc.) id’s which massively conflict with everything else...
Caracus  [author] Aug 17, 2018 @ 9:41am 
Alright added that small province to the moselland. I also added Nanzig (Nancy) as a small state since it was requested due to Kaiserreich and stuff, altough it has no core here ;)
Caracus  [author] Aug 17, 2018 @ 9:03am 
Oh you mean that one, i always wondered why they would do such a thing xD
Serbian 347 Aug 17, 2018 @ 8:34am 
go to the rhine look at the soulthern demiliterized zone and then you will find one province in hesse that is on the other side of the rhine
Caracus  [author] Aug 17, 2018 @ 1:10am 
@scott_morgan83 what do you mean, do you have a link or sth?
Serbian 347 Aug 16, 2018 @ 3:46pm 
can you mend hesse and mosseland and corect the border to the rhine
SharpMood Aug 15, 2018 @ 10:54am 
i love that like kr
Sam Bass Otel-Ran Aug 14, 2018 @ 8:08pm 
Would be nice a state in the state next to alsalce-lorrain and separation of the river in the rhine states (like in kaiserreich)
Elvir Aug 14, 2018 @ 1:29pm 
nice
