I don't know if you'll keep tweaking this mode, but King Felipe VI of Spain is Bourbon in the mode, but his real name seems to be de Bourbon, the dynasty is already in the mod, but for some reason you made a generic for King J. Carlos and Felipe instead of just adding them to the De Bourbon that already exists in the base game

DenReal: "Empire of Rus" has Ukrainian coat of arms in vanilla CK2, which actually makes sense as Kyiv was the political center of Orthodox Eastern Slavic ("Rus") people before Mongol invasions, and Moscow didn't matter back then.

I didn't change CoAs (other than adding a few new ones - USA, Canada, Brazil, and Belarus) as that's a lot of work, and most of the CoAs are reasonable. If anyone wants to submit a bunch of new CoAs (128x128 tga files), I could update the mod.

As mod covers over 200 years of possible start dates, I did some title renaming (like Empire of Russia to Soviet Union then back) depending on start date, instead of making each a completely separate title. Making Soviet Union a separate thing would mean nothing is de jure for it, and it would just fall apart right away, breaking gameplay. As player you can rename your title in-game if something makes more sense for alt history you're telling.

Does it answer your questions?

Why does ruzzia have ukrainian coat of arms, and why does soviet union is called "empire of the rus". makes no sense

Sergeant Non Sweat: I don't think so, both mods update too much.

It should be compatible with most mods that don't change the map or history files.
HumbleLaw Jan 30, 2024 @ 5:03am 
Is this compatible with CK2+?

gwennetts: It could be funny to rename some diseases to more modern names. I don't plan to update the mod, but if I ever do, I might do that.
gwennetts Dec 26, 2023 @ 6:30am 
sorry i'm worried i may have annoyed you extremely. But could you add covid lol?
gwennetts Nov 18, 2023 @ 6:36am 
I know but it would be better if it was at least a merchant republic, but i predict that would be very hard to code if not impossible. And (likely because of my many mods or i messed it up somehow) the troops didn't spawn. When i'm ready to do this mod again i might try to do this again

gwennetts: The mod uses unedited map (except for Suez Canal). US troops can show up by events.
gwennetts Nov 14, 2023 @ 4:33am 
Maybe you could just put like america near the UK? and maybe you could make it a merchant republic? merchant republics would be great for oversea countries.
gwennetts Nov 13, 2023 @ 5:28pm 
Makes sense. Sure wish there was a game like crusader kings that was set in the modern era.

thegoofygoblin: Zero chance, Umbra sphere replaces the whole map, so it would need full mod rewrite.

gwennetts: CK2 merchant republics are just even more different from modern countries than CK2 feudals. They're all about coastal trading, so you can't have inland one, and nothing really makes much sense. I created some vassal merchant republics for people who want to give it a go, but I don't think it would be a good default experience.
thegoofygoblin Oct 31, 2023 @ 3:01pm 
Whats the chance that this works for umbra sphere?
gwennetts Oct 30, 2023 @ 2:38pm 
It needs more merchant republics. like, america needs to be one. but i guess that ruins the no DLC needed.
Radon Sep 19, 2023 @ 7:51am 
this looks too good for no dlc needed

Hello. I was wondering if I could incorporate your files into my mod? I would like to extend the history to 2020 but for a umbra.

Lord Sauron: This is an intentional workaround for limitations of CK2.
Otherwise you'll get guaranteed game over as Queen Victoria, and she should definitely be one of recommended playable characters. And if I made her marriage matrilineal, then the whole British line following her would be her dynasty.

In theory, this could be solved with some custom events based on start date. If anyone wants to give it a go, let me know.
Lord Sauron May 17, 2023 @ 6:04am 
There s a mistake in the house ruling the UK in 1815 untill 1917. It is not Windsor but Saxe-Coburg and Gotha'', which is the same as King Leopold I of belgium in 1831. side branches ruled portugal and bulgaria in the time covered by the mod

Хaш Букетс: At any start date from devolution (1999), Scotland and Wales has historical regional rulers. Northern Ireland doesn't have any. Scotland should be a good start.

Does the United Kingdom contain its respective countries?

yuno: I didn't do borders less than a full county as it's too difficult to see on a map, and gameplay is better this way that with scattered baronies. Pope holding the whole county of Rome is the most notable such situation.

Britain should only have Gibraltar in their demesne, it doesnt make sense to also have Tarifa and Algeciras as a part of the empire.

Thankyou, nice easter egg

Jean Lannes: You can turn off Sunset Invasion, either by disabling DLC, or in game rules when starting a new game.

If you have an existing campaign, each invader only does it a small number of times.

UnbrokenPL: This means the mod did not install correctly, or you use mismatched version. Verify game, uninstall mod, reinstall etc. It's not a mod-specific issue.

It's crashing after "loading graphics"...

minecraftlasagne: Paradox launcher is terrible, so you might need to do the usual stuff like restarting everything, unsubscribing and resubscribing etc. Nothing modders can do about it.

treasureseeker358: Rulers of countries are all historic when known.
For non-rulers, very few other characters are historic, they're just randomly generated.

this good GRAFIC mod but there are or there aren't many historic characters.
