PLeeeeaaaase update
KrugPrime Jul 14, 2020 @ 12:54pm 
While my modding knowledge is limited, I'd be more than willing to assist someone in editing the text files among other things with some direction.
I like the idea of giving Denmark more ties to Pomerania since their former King is in charge of Wolgast I believe. Would also be good for some flavor there.
I got some passion for it since I like history and alternate history but I have limited experience otherwise.

Also, while the Imperial Incidents will take some work there are some missions that give ideas
Some considerations for Ideas for someone with more knowledge than myself:
- Shadow Kingdom and Dutch Republic, these can be kept mostly as they are.
- Switzerland would be a good sort of replacement for the Burgundian Inheritance. Possibly looking to align with Germany or Austria to avoid joining the French led HRE. Austria had some claim to Switzerland since the House of Habsburg was from there I believe. The German cities mission in the German tree could be included here

I hope someone else continues your work on this mod (or you find the time and passion to resume playing eu4), because this looks like a blast to play.

Unfortunately it would be a decent sized project updating it for 1.30 if you were going to add imperial incidents. There are a lot of new french tags so it could start off with even more princes though
Comrade Flan  [author] May 31, 2020 @ 7:38am 
Sure thing! Just let me know if you have any questiosn
JAMINMAN!@#$ May 30, 2020 @ 4:19pm 
I might mess around with it after 1.30 if thats ok with you Comrade Flan
Arson Mar 28, 2020 @ 11:09pm 
I would recommend removing France entirely, adding Xaintogne, Paris, and Champagne. Paris would replace France as emperor. Just a thought.
Rexous Mar 26, 2020 @ 12:34pm 
you should put normandy as a part of an imperial prince or france instead of just france in the expel england mission since normandy has a core on it and i like the opportunity to make it as legit as possible

thanks for your attention ;)
Comrade Flan  [author] Jan 11, 2020 @ 3:49am 
So, I have to make an unfortunate announcement: due to private and study reasons I stop updating and adding content to this mod. I barely find time to play this game, let alone modding the game. For this reason I am willing to give this mod away to somebody, who has more time and enthusiasm to continue this mod. You get the full permission to do anything you want other than neglecting it like I did.
If somebody wants to continue this work then please let me know it
thepoweredminers Nov 15, 2019 @ 6:53pm 
maybe you could make a french version of prussia
benmichael63 Oct 15, 2019 @ 10:18am 
you should give germany the options to create a confederation of the rhine as a vassel except it might be called confederation of the marne or something like that also if you should debuff agressive expansion
Comrade Flan  [author] Oct 9, 2019 @ 4:52am 
Alright, I am back to modding! I want to apologize for the very long and silent time since the last update. Due my studies for the exams and the death of my hard disk I was a long time not able to make any update for this mod.
But now I have finally some breathing space. But I lack one thing: creativity for the next update.
Currently the mod is on a point, where it seems rather fine for me, but I know there are more options for content - I just don't know which kind of content is desired.

This is the reason why I know ask you what suggestions for missions or events you have and what historical background they have!
benmichael63 Oct 3, 2019 @ 10:58am 
is the mod still alive
Chief Pat Jul 15, 2019 @ 1:01pm 
marche pas
Comrade Flan  [author] Jun 24, 2019 @ 1:59pm 
This is something which is hard to accomplish. I could try to make them more colonial by giving them an higher priority for exploration / expansion, but in the end I can't really force the AI to go colonial.
I will see what I can make happen for them and I will probably give France some minor buffs, too. I noticed the HRE is a little much for them to handle...
Fluxuous Jun 24, 2019 @ 12:36pm 
could you make Germany more likely to colonize to fill the colonial power Vaccum left by France focusing on the HRE
The Void Boy Jun 16, 2019 @ 11:04am 
could you give Germany Prussian ideas or just any decent ideas that aren't German ideas?German ideas are almost as bad as Generic ideas.
Comrade Flan  [author] Jun 13, 2019 @ 1:59pm 
Well, the entire french HRE got a buff to its devolopment... so a nerf to the hre caused AE is justified
benmichael63 Jun 13, 2019 @ 10:42am 
could you fix agressive expansion i took 2 provinces in the holy roman empire as germany and it cost me 80 agressive expansion to finish the elsass-lorraine mission
==дайте мне 3 дня== Jun 6, 2019 @ 3:46pm 
Great mod
Comrade Flan  [author] Jun 6, 2019 @ 10:09am 
I could make it possible, but I am not an historian and will probably fail to make the french HRE feel authentic for any other time period other than the 1444 start date.
Also it will take a lot of time, which I currently don't have much. That doesn't mean there won't be any extended timeline version, but it won't come any time soon.
Owl Jun 5, 2019 @ 12:52pm 
Could you possibly make this compatable with the extended timeline mod?
Jon Jonson May 25, 2019 @ 3:31am 
Thanks for the good reply
Comrade Flan  [author] May 24, 2019 @ 5:24pm 
This would be possible to make, but there some problems with this:
1) It would ruin the idea of an HRE switch as the normal HRE also never had 7 (or 8 once in history) electors any time. With this mod I want to make a scenario where the HRE is on french land instead of german land, but the government structures should (and are) untouched.
2) Such a massive change would require a change in core elements of the game. While it is possible it could lead to some unwanted side effects.
3) With the upcomoing Europe DLC/patch the HRE system could be reworked, which means a massive change in this scope may not (or will not) be required.

I will however note this idea for the future. This could be an interesting concept for an European Union "HRE" for another mod though.
Jon Jonson May 24, 2019 @ 11:55am 
Could you make a democratic hre mod? Which means that every nation in the hre is an elector
Comrade Flan  [author] May 10, 2019 @ 2:13pm 
I have added this suggestion to my to-do list. As soon as I have more time for modding again I will add it.
Rexous May 10, 2019 @ 1:08pm 
Could you change it so that when you unify the empire it changes into a more french flag instead of a german eagle one?
Rexous May 10, 2019 @ 12:39pm 
This is all i ever wanted.
Comrade Flan  [author] May 5, 2019 @ 6:05am 
Mainly balancing reasons. Also it makes the swap between France and the HRE smoother as in normal EU4 France isn't united either and has to get Burgundy, Britanny and Provence down before it can call itself united.
Atlas May 5, 2019 @ 4:26am 
So, why are Bavaria, Austria and Saxony still independent? Is there some specific reason for this?
𝅳𝅳𝅳𝅳𝅳𝅳𝅳𝅳 May 4, 2019 @ 2:59pm 
Can you make Germany have Saxon culture, it just doesn't really make sense for them to be Prussian, if you still want them to be Prussian maybe make it a part of the mission to conquer Prussia gives them Prussian culture and the reform. Other than that I love the mod.
LeonAragonis Apr 30, 2019 @ 9:29pm 
BRILLIANT!
herpaderp Apr 29, 2019 @ 11:55pm 
Great work on the mod! My only suggestions would be to change France into a new tag (Paris, for example) and leave France as a formable nation, like Germany in Vanilla. Also, a Formable Occitania for a Protestant Toulouse to serve as the Prussia analog would be amazing.
Comrade Flan  [author] Apr 28, 2019 @ 10:37pm 
They currently have "only" normal German Ideas. I thought to give them Prussian Ideas, but their starting development doesn't allow for a strong ideas without allowing the AI to steamroll everything around them.
DerRitter Apr 28, 2019 @ 5:27pm 
What ideas will this united Germany have?
DerRitter Apr 28, 2019 @ 5:25pm 
interesting
Anthony Penisini Apr 28, 2019 @ 11:28am 
seriously fucking awesome mod. great mission trees, I look forward to the future development of this mod.
Lukekho Apr 28, 2019 @ 6:17am 
Split France in 2 to make it balanced as all stuff shall be
Wojciech Jaruzelski Apr 27, 2019 @ 11:04am 
Oh boi, currently it's one of my favourite mods. Hope Elector-coutnries will get a new mission trees!

Comrade Flan  [author] Apr 26, 2019 @ 2:38pm 
Open EU4, select the mod, deselect it afterwards. Then restart EU4 and select it again. That's how I get the game working if it doesn't want to load any mod. Make sure you wait a little after you've selected the mod again for the game to load the mod.

If it doesn't work then unsubscripe my mod, delete any files with the "french_hre" and resub the mod again. I hope I could help
1% Milk Apr 26, 2019 @ 2:14pm 
it dont work. selected, but no work
Rastro Apr 26, 2019 @ 11:21am 
It would probably be a good stand-in, making it a Daimyo sorta government. Maybe make it its own government form so that it doesn't have that name, though.
Comrade Flan  [author] Apr 26, 2019 @ 10:08am 
@Rastro
Ahh, ok, that's something different. Well, ingame you have pratically only ONE HRE. If I want to add a new HRE it would basically either require a lot of UI coding, event coding and I think it would even require stuff to code, which are not accessible for modders. And then it isn't guaranteed if it won't conflict with the normal base game HRE.

I could however see a workaround in form of tributaries / daimyo mechanics possible where your subjects wage wars against each others, but it doesn't come the idea of your own HRE not even close.
Comrade Flan  [author] Apr 26, 2019 @ 10:08am 
@Bear
I didn't include Prussia / Teutonic Order, because they are not part of the HRE in the base game. Austria is not part of Germany because it was in EU4 timeframe one of the most important nations in Europe and such it deserves in the mod its own place.
Switzerland isn't part of Germany either because... well, to be honest: I thought they make a good neutral border between Austrian's core land the french HRE. And it looked strange if they were part of Germany...
Rastro Apr 26, 2019 @ 9:34am 
@Derptator
Yeah that’s kinda what I meant.
Also meant that you could effectively found an equivalent, instead of it already existing.

So like let’s say Russia is huge, typical. But it’s unstable. It could release its vassals and dead countries with cores in Russia as a “Holy Russian Empire”, with the player losing cores to dead countries which become princes, vassals becoming princes/electors, etc.
Bear Apr 26, 2019 @ 7:46am 
but why aren't austria, Swizerland or Prussia part of the united Germany?
Ghostkillers20 Apr 25, 2019 @ 10:10pm 
XD

Derptator Apr 25, 2019 @ 3:25pm 
I think he means like if you were china, you could make a chinese version of the HRE too
Warchief Redbull Apr 25, 2019 @ 3:16pm 
What if you wanted to make a United Germany mod.

But God Said: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1719379641

Thanks man, you saved me a lot of time here lmao. Great gameplay.

That is a genius idea! :D
