Apologies, I didn't get a notification. I like the focus on performance and the formables you have (maybe add some more?). The only thing you can maybe offer, your call (its your sweat after all), is maybe modern generic missions? And to really fluff em up, without going as crazy as EE, maybe generic ones based on regions?

Outside of that amazing work man!

It would be nice to see an immersive version, with some events but with a medieval spin.
JamesPro26  [author] Dec 5, 2024 @ 12:39am 
@MrMountie. Maybe. Is there anything in particular you would like to see?
MrMountie Dec 4, 2024 @ 12:08pm 
Any future plans for this mod?

Good mod, the other version with all the provinces is better but it sadly got removed.
Xx_FlashBlaster_xX May 31, 2023 @ 1:11pm 
Hey why did you remove the vanillia MDS scenario?
Shotty Man May 18, 2023 @ 5:37pm 
Would be cool if there was a mod that changed the starting map to modern borders without actually changing the map, tho that's probably not possible with EU4s default map

UPDATE 2.5.2.
Welcome to the patch of Religious Extremism.

New Starting Nation:
-ISIS
JamesPro26  [author] Sep 30, 2022 @ 3:15am 
This mod witnessed a great number of updates over the past few days. As you can see mod was posted on 18th of September and up until today (30th September) it has been updated 25 times. New nations, decisions, flags, new Africa, trade nodes, this mod has nothing in common to what it started and i like that a lot.

At this state i consider it to be playable and to me is also enjoyable. I am not done with the updates as new ideas will be coming to my mind. For the following days i do not think i will be updating.

Please comment any ideas that you would like to be implemented (maybe new nations). Halolong for instance wants Djibouti. As long as those ideas do not break the original idea of the mod (Better Performance with fewer provinces, 1444 start) , i will do the best to implement them.

Also comment any bugs you encounter. I am sure some that i have not discover still exist.

- James out!
JamesPro26  [author] Sep 30, 2022 @ 2:58am 
UPDATE 2.5

11 NEW NATIONS:

- South Korea
- North Korea
- Taiwan (Allied to and Guaranteed by the US)
- Tajikistan
- Uzbekisan
- Krygyzstan (These three should make Asia gameplay more in-depth)
- Kosovo
- Bolivia
- Uruguay
- Jordan
- Turkey (It used to be Ottomans renamed and recoloured. Now it is a new nation. This allows for the formation of Rum or the Ottoman Empire).

MORE MODERN FLAGS
-Countries such as all of the above 11 as well as Kazakhstan, Bangladesh, China. Turkmenistan have their correct flags.

DECISIONS
You can now Form the Ottoman Empire as Turkey.
You can now Form Korea as North or South Korea.

Minor Updates will follow in order to correct discovered bugs or to further enhance gameplay :)

@Halolong I am in the process of creating many new nations. I'll see if it's possible for Djibouti to exist in this few provinces map.
