Although this will not be compatible with this mod if anyone wants to continue playing with Otto's mod for 1.9.x and beyond check out the continuation of the original! https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3516634569

It looks like there might be a gap in the naming for Russian puppet Kunduz

This mod still works on its own, but will only affect country names

@conrad I do not anymore. Sadly, steam erases your local files if the mod is deleted from steam

Dam. If the original mod had not been deleted, then I would not have seen yours

the original mod was removed, do you happen to have a copy of it by chance?

Okey I understand and keeping my fingers crossed for your work!

@Dramfer, thanks for the advice and corrections, it actually made me finally start fully redoing country names into proper names.
With few exceptions, current names are mostly direct translations from Otto's names, which are severely lacking in many ways, some translation also lacking any kind of verification, explaining the errors and strange namings.
This whole do-over will probably take some time and get published bits by bits, but I'm getting tired of discovering more and more country having badly translated names or very strange-sounding ones because I first only tried to do literal translations.
Thanks again and you should see it appear very soon.

Hey, cool mod, but in my opinion, you need to change a few things in the name of the country Poland. When there's anarchy in the country, the name is "Darmowi Polacy," which in my language doesn't mean freedom, but rather "free" as in a product being free of charge. A better name, in my opinion, would be "Wspólnota Wolnych Polan" (Community of Free Polans).

Secondly, when we introduce communist rule leaning more towards dictatorship, the name is "Polska Rzeczypospolita Autonomiczna". A better name might be "Zjednoczona Polska Ludowa" (United People's Poland), which would better match the character of the regime.

Besides that, I really like this mod, which is why I'm suggesting these changes.

@Garry coming, should work fine, I just gotta update a few things but I'm in the middle of exams that'll end after tomorrow
Garry Jun 24, 2024 @ 11:11pm 
update needed?

It was no problem, I try to be somewhat precise when I do something, but you're never far from an error or a misconception.

Thanks for telling me as it made me check it over, it is the best way to notice direct or bystanding errors.

Hm yeah I see your reasoning. To be fair that Weimar was also called "Reich" was a compromise emering out of the specific political situation. Soooo Deutsche Republik is fine I guess.

Thank you :)

The graphic mods used for the screenshot are the following:
OTTO's mod for the colours, obviously.
Map Font - Paradox Victorian for the Vic font names of countries
Enhanced Graphics for shaders and the likes
UI Theme Pack for the UI that currently is set on "French (Dark)"
The overhaul feeling of "Dark age so dark" is caused by setting Dawn of Wonder's Day & Night Cycle to nighttime.

I will be adding this to the description as an off-note to avoid having to write this all over again.

While it is true the the kaiserreich was officially named "Deutsches Reich", it was also the official name for the weimar republic and the national socialist dictatorship, which are differentiated for obvious reasons.
The german localisations, like most, are currently only translations of OTTO's choices, this makes any monarchist germany "Deutsches Kaiserreich", a republican one "Deutsche Republik", a dictatorial one "Freie Deutsches Volksunion", and a fascist one "Deutsche Reich".
I personally don't like the dictatorial one, but the original effort was just to translate OTTO's mod so I kept it that way.

Germany was not called "Deutsches Kaiserreich", just "Deutsches Reich".

Did you use any graphic mods for the screenshots`?

@Trotskek It's what I had first written, someone I talked to sounded quite offended that the name it had read "The Sublime Ottoman State" and not just "Sublime State", so I changed it.
Since I'm not the most well-read about the way countries and cultures view and talk about themselves, especially during this era, and from what I already gathered from searching up countries from different parts of the world, I found it probable enough to do it.

The Ottoman name should be Devlet-i Aliye-i Osmaniye, otherwise it just means "The Great State"
