I've reuploaded the mod, if it isn't fixed you could try to download the mod by using the Github link

I just recently tried this mod again after seeing it was updated, but the launcher says it's missing a descriptor file. I know this can happen from time to time, but how would I go about fixing it?

I've updated the mod with your suggestions.
If there's anything else that's not working as intended please let me know.
I hope you enjoy :)

A couple of events, such as the Porcelain from Meissen, aren't firing as intended. Besides that, could there be a warning in the decision to form the Confederation that your unions with Poland and Lithuania will be lost if you pursue Germanization?

Just updated it for the newest version. Let me know if anything is not working as intended.

just to the newest version so it is shown to be the right one in the launcher idk if anything else needs to be done

Anything specific that needs an update? I incorporated Livonia and the Balten culture when the last DLC launched. T.b.h. I haven't really kept up with EU4 lately.

update for new versions?

very cool

nice mod

I changed the Elbian Confederations unit models so it uses the first Bohemian sprites and then the German sprites as I thought the Bohemian sprites looked a bit too slavic for a Germanized nation.

First of all, thank you for the kind words. Like I have commented before I also think the mission tree is currently a bit bare bones. I just threw something together from existing mission trees and was planning to add more flavorful mission but I have not gotten to it yet. The dismantle HRE missions seem like a good idea. If anyone has any more ideas to spice up the mission tree I will happily take them into account. (If you have suggestions please take the shape of the tree into account.)

On the short term I will look into the unit model change, to be honest I just did not really know how to do it and did not bother learning but I'll do so after posting this.

OH! And one more thing! I would change the unit models to be the Bohemian custom models! I noticed they changed to the default western technology models and was a little disappointed that I lost the cool Bohemian models!

I think it would be interesting to add more flavor to the missions, instead of just claims maybe a subjugate CB or personal union CB on certain german minors to keep things a little fresh. It would also be a good idea to have missions involving the dismantling of the HRE, as that seems very thematic for a nation based on nationalism to want to dismantle the HRE which is essentially designed to curb nationalism and cultural unity. I know it's a lot of work, but I really love this mod and if you're ever working on it again these are just some of my thoughts. Hope this helps!

I looked into it and the government rank changing when forming a new nation as the emperor is a known bug. Source: https://www.reddit.com/r/eu4/comments/ten8ed/why_did_my_government_rank_downgrade_when_i/

Also as a side note, the event removes all non-German PU's so if you really want to keep them you can enforce culture on them and then form the Elbian Confederation. ;)

The losing of the PU's is intentional and also mentioned in the event. The (roleplay) idea is that by forming the Elbian Confederation and Germanizing your court you lose legitimacy in the eyes of the Slavic countries. It is also meant as balance so that you can not have both the PU's and free permanent claims on all of northern Germany.
I do not know why you were stuck as a duchy, that is not intentional. The mod does not change government rank so I do not know why that happened to you. I will look into it.

Just wanna let you know after I formed Elbian as the HRE emperor, I was stuck with duchy government rank even I was still the emperor in the HRE. Can you fix it please? 400 GC is not going to do anything. I had 400/900 GC and 60 percent extra aggressive expansion is just game breaking.
Also, forming Elbian with losing 3 PU (Hungary, Poland, and Lit) is just unreal.
Overall, this mod is fun. Just a bit annoying forming Elbian losing 3 PUs.

I have not been working on the mod recently. If I do get back into it I think I will spend some time on adding a new section to the mission tree focused on the conquest and integration of the Baltic (incorporating the recently added council of Riga event).
I feel like the mission tree is currently a bit too focused on conquest and getting claims. I would like to add a bit more flavour to the mission tree. I was also thinking about a custom disaster based around the religious wars that will reflect the difference between the (likely) more protestant German lands and the catholic Bohemian lands. Other than that I still might add a tag for the south German and north German confederation but I am not really motivated to think of national ideas, forming conditions and mission trees.

What are you currently trying to add to the mod?

I like the idea of more formable sadly i am to lazy and dont have enough knowledge to mod my own formables. What i would suggest is making a mod which adds an extra start date scenario like in Extended Timeline or Land of the Free which adds all nations from Dod and make a collab with the To Victoria: Pop & Dynamic Economy which adds new goods through buildings and a Pop system

Okay thanks for letting me know.
I think I will leave this mod dedicated solely to the Elbian Confederation. In the future I could make a collection of mods that add DoD formables.
I could quickly put a Dual Monarchy mod together that just adds the formable without any new ideas or missions before fleshing anything out further. Let me know if that is something you would be interested in.

I just wanted to tell you that Peratus Balance and Flavor probably an MP mod is it removes india,china and japan plus adds new provinces so i think its an MP mod which just happens to have some DoD formables

A quick search gave me this mod containing the dual monarchy: Peratus Balance and Flavor

can you tell me the mod which adds the Dual Monarchy? Because i smh cant find a mod with it.

Thanks everyone for the positive responses, I am glad that you are enjoying the mod.
Thank you for all the suggestions so far, I will create a discussion thread where you can post your suggestions so I can have all of them in one place.
I think this mod will remain centered around Germany so I might add some more form-able countries from DoD later like the Danubian Confederation and / or the League of Berlin. I feel like that will keep the scope of the mod manageable. Also I believe the Dual Monarchy is already in many other mods and the other European powers in DoD already exist in EU4.
If you have played using the mod please let me know what your experience was like and let me know if something is not balanced right or if bugs occur.

This mod is fantastic. YOu should make more formable nations-mods with the theme of DoD from Vic 2. Really like the way the mission tree flows (not too broken rewards and has a clear path).

Good job!

If you are looking for more missions you should give the "missions extended" mod a look.

do you think you can add missions for other countries or like danmark or england

Just added an event which lets the player choose whether to Germanize the Czechs or leave them be. Thanks for the suggestion Lekoopa20 :)

Another thing i would suggest that make a mission for the german path that makes the czech culture join the german one ( like in manchuria ) or a decision to cultureconvert the Bohemian and Moravian region

you are definitely a mod creator to be looking out for. would love to see some more DoD formables in EU4.

You could make more custom nations and make a start date which has the Divergence of Darkness borders

nah, its not but i have long considert a protestantic union as formable nation, the requirements would be a certain nmber of protestantic provinces and the control of provinces like dresden heidelberg, wittenberg or berlin

You can always suggest it, if it is also from Divergences of Darkness I could consider adding it to this mod.

would it be possible to bring suggestions for more formable nations?

Cool idea and really good realized!

thank you for making this; alt history nations are so rarely added to other games
