Tbh you can make a compatibility patch for just Ante Bellum

and I have no problem to do it just remember the people to subscribe to both mods... cause yeah... they usually forget xD

Regarding TGE, this mod is compatible with TGE, yes yes!

Currently for personal use I have a version of this mod modified to be compatible with Ante Bellum specifically. I was wondering if it would be alright to release it for public use? I ask because it is standalone (still requires base Ante Bellum to Run) and I don't think I'd be able to release a version that is just a compatibility patch that requires this mod to run.

Secondly I'm wondering if I could then incorporate that into a larger mod that also functions to serves to provide compatibility with other mods such as the Idea variation and trade goods expanded.

Well... actually no, at least not from this mod.

We do not edit the triggers for the Ages, they are all vanillas...

So unless you have a mod that spawns Enlightenment earlier, then yeah it's jsut randomness...

but pretty bad one xD

Might be a bug and this is the only mod that has to do with ages... I'm doing a Byzantium playthrough and it's the Age of Revolutions in 1564.

That's fair, thanks for answering!

Well, it's more than that...

From my understanding of AB it is a completely alt-history mod that thoughtfully changes the state of EU4's timeline and setup...
I'm not implying anything about the quality of the mod, I don't judge that


So none of the Age abilities would "translate" to something...

@Melvasul
I didn't realise it would be such an undertaking--I just figured it would be as simple as swapping around a few tags considering the shift is largely akin to a mix of the CK start date and loose OTL 1444 happenings.
I asked because this mod is great, and it's a tad sad I can't use it there.
If it's too much effort or non-viable feel free to ignore my request and move on; thanks for the mod so far.

@Averious
how can we even do a compatch with an alt-history mod? D:
And for what in particular?


@FlamingRedAlpha
can you come to discord and show the modlist etc so I can do a bit deeper debug?

crash when clicking on the age splendor thingy. i am using all your expanded mods and just that and on the most updated version and it crashes

An Ante Bellum compatch would be great

Well, tbh, to them it's basically useless considering their maintenance cap already, so it's more for every other country

> Free Maintenance on Explorers and Conquistadors

LET'S MAKE SPAIN AND PORTUGAL EVEN MORE OP!! WHY?!

I know players can take it, but everyone else is screwed.

Ah you are that guy, noted!

Yep, sadly :/

the better font mod is making it crash, i guess there's a problem when displaying the age and splendor tab

i'm on the support discord solving this, i'll keep you updated

Hi Zoremo.
We would need a bit more information about this.

We have tested it using
1. Ages and Splendor Expanded
2. Ages and Splendor Expanded - Extended Timeline Compatch
3. Extended Timeline

and found that it all worked as usual.

compatibility patch with ET seems to be broken, crashes when clicking on the ages menu

could you make compataible patch with Common Universalis 6.0 English?

That is interesting... do you know if they have picked they "Retain Age Ability"? Cause I also made that mechanic [with also custom-gui for players] a bit to dump excessive splendor :T

As well as other "invest Splendor" options

Okay, that makes sense. However, I noticed from mid to late games usually major nations (AI) around 1650+ onwards tend to have maximum splendors and complete all objectives for those ages. I think at least 1 additional age somewhere between Age of Absolutism and Age of Revolutions still could fit inside.

We thought about adding an Age of Renaissance and Age of Enlightenment in the past...

Long story short, we found that it would make the ages overall too short and in some cases you might not even unlock your first/second Age Reward because the next age would arrive too soon :/

Another problem would be that it would make some ages a bit too empty by "moving" age rewards/objectives from Age 0 to Age 1 and viceversa :/

Any plans to create more ages on top of that?

I don't know what ToT is...
for Extended Timeline you will need the Compatch listed above (:

Fixed and pushed the update for both ASE and the Compatch ^^

I have issues with this and the ET and 1.37, compatch doesn't help.

Once I chose an ability to retain, whenever I click on the Age, I get an additional GUI overlay on top of the Ages GUI, and it only shows ??s on first page an abilities on the second and third. The Close button doesn't work.

I've actually never tested it... but I don't see how it wouldn't (:

Does it work with save games that started without it?

I don't think since he wrote days before the patch xD

But anyway, updated to 1.37 and did some GUI fixes/changes :D

I think maybe he's talking about 1.37.

The current version is up to date... what do you even want? :T

The last update was in January, so please a new version. Thank you

This mod is compatible with any 1.36.X as also stated in the message below.

pls update thx

Hi, I think the problem might be with Steam not having downloaded the latest update of the mod.
The mod is up to date with any 1.36.X patch :D

Hey, it says the mod is outdated in the launcher? Could you fix that please?

Given the new dlc, maybe add a new age ability for the byzantines in the reformation era? Something like "Byzantine Resurgence"

Ah rip, thanks for the response regardless

You are correct Xeno, it has been removed since its development was no longer supported.

Your 1356 compatch link doesn't open anymore

Ages Reformed has incorporated most of ASE plus added its own additions ^^

Is it compatible with Ages Reformed?

From testing: Europa Expanded does not edit the Ages from the game, therefore you will receive this mod

Unless you have other mods enabled that might change the file :T

It also started normal, then about 20 years into the campaign reverted to vanilla age abiliities (minus the new UI)

I'm getting this issue running this mod with Europa Expanded where it retains the new UI for the ages but has the old splendor abilities and half the boxes are blank. Where should Ages Expanded be in the mod order?

Best way to figure it out is trying one mod at time :/

Sorry I've just been trying to figure out what did. It wasn't Europa Veritatis either...

Absolutely not :D
We only edit the vanilla Ages file, and add our stuff :D

Did this mod change the Byzantine unit sprites?

Uhm... yeah, that as well :D
Although I do not usually play after 1600, so I don't know exact how much it will affect it :D

@Melvasul I see! It only affects the cap. In other words, it increases the chance of me getting a revolution since my absolutism cap will be so high.
