The sapmi kingdom automatically gets destroyed for some reason don't get the option to do so after the game starts

I don't know if it's just me or something, but when I try to load a save 80% of the time my game just freezes. One time I left it running in the background to see if it would load. 20 minutes later I forgot I even had it running then suddenly heard the sound effect when you start a campaign. So currently unless I never want to reload a save my CK3 is unplayable.

I have a very good computer that can run Warhammer 3 on ultra graphics and ultra unit scale and have even played EU4 and WH3 at the same time no problem.

This is obviously discouraging especially given how fun the last two DLC are.

How is that CK3 version going?
DSECool  [author] Dec 30, 2020 @ 9:30pm 
I don't want to say this mod is abandoned but... right now I'm constantly working and what little free time I have is going toward a CK3 version.

Would you consider making a Grand Celtic Empire consisting of Gaelica and Celtica?

i am sad. why greater sweden. WHY THE HELL! FINLAND IS NOT SWEDEN!
DSECool  [author] Nov 29, 2020 @ 3:23pm 
No. Though some titles will be unavailable to you depending on the dlc in question.
Khenti-kheti Nov 29, 2020 @ 1:43pm 
does this require any major dlcs?

The addon cultures are as follows:

Austro-Hungarian: German/Hungarian hybrid; Hussar Knights (upgraded light/heavy cavalry)

Gaelic: Scot/Irish hybrid; Gaelic Guard (upgraded pike/heavy infantry)

Brythonic: Breton/Welsh hybrid; Brythonic Knights (upgraded heavy cav, and archer cav (Welsh longbowmen on horse, lol)

High Francispanian: Castillian/Francais hybrid; Gallo-Iberian Knights (upgraded heavy/light cav)

Middle Francispanian: Basque/Catalan/Occitan; same retinue (the idea is that Middle Francispanian is a natural evolution due to their proximity to each other, but High Francispanian is essentially a constructed version of Middle Francispanian)

Anglo-Frisian: English/Saxon/Frisian/Dutch; Archer Lords (upgraded archers)

There are other hybrids but they use generic retinues and are thus a bit less interesting (I prefer not to overwrite vanilla files where possible)

Usually I put a disclaimer in my mod descriptions, seems I forgot to, so I'll put it here.

"Anyone and everyone is free to use my mods for their own work. While I would appreciate being given credit, I won't complain if you don't."

Also, I don't know what you mean by adding cultures. Historical or fictional? Because if you wanted to add fictional cultures some of that might be covered in my addon (see bottom of description). I basically hybridized some of the cultures' names and retinues.
Burmins Oct 30, 2020 @ 4:43pm 
Can I use this as a base to make my own mod? This hasn’t been updated in a while, and I want to try adding some kingdoms and cultures.
I’ll give credit and a link to the original mod if you don’t mind me publishing it.

If you don’t want me to leech off your mod, that’s ok. I won’t publish what isn’t mine.
DSECool  [author] Sep 10, 2020 @ 4:26pm 
Nope
Q_74x Sep 10, 2020 @ 10:22am 
Looking for a mod that does that.
Q_74x Sep 10, 2020 @ 10:21am 
Are these empires already formed?
DSECool  [author] Jun 26, 2020 @ 5:37pm 
Be zunist (reformed or unreformed) and have Indo-Aryan or Dravidian culture and own ALL of India
w.girl27 Jun 26, 2020 @ 1:41am 
sorry if this is a dumb question but how do i form zunindia
Laxbro_Inc Jun 6, 2020 @ 4:29pm 
Thanks for the reply!
DSECool  [author] May 28, 2020 @ 9:27pm 
The reason it "takes so much" is due to my desire to break Germania and A-H apart. Without all those specifics releasing Germania will work very poorly. Though I would agree that they are "seemingly unrelated things" they are in fact carefully thought out in order to comply with the ensuing de jure setup. I could just destroy the HRE and make it all A-H which would be very simple; however, then it would be far more German than Hungarian.

Also, it isn't actually as hard as it may seem. For instance, there must be a holder of the German Kingdom that isn't you. You can create the title and give it away to a vassal. It is essentially rinse and repeat with most of the requirements. Read the decision's description rather than the unreadable wall of text that is the tooltip.

Yet another note: I actually tried doing A-H the other day and apparently Paradox messed with the duchies and counties in Austria and Carinthia, so I'll need to fix and update it when I get some time.
Laxbro_Inc May 28, 2020 @ 3:48pm 
Really cool mod and a great concept of super-massive empires, but why in the world does it take so much to form Austria-Hungary? It just seems like a ton of seemingly unrelated things outside the player's control need to be true to get the decision. Any way it can be simplified so that the player just needs to be independent and hold the necessary kingdom titles?
StarPower Apr 17, 2020 @ 12:49am 
mybe like a royal guard mod?
StarPower Apr 17, 2020 @ 12:48am 
well can you try and do some kind of chinese based empire mod, i play chinese imperial alot and tend to go on a rampaging campaign conquering all the nomadic empires near me and destroying them
DSECool  [author] Apr 16, 2020 @ 6:29pm 
Otherwise no Chinese based features.
DSECool  [author] Apr 16, 2020 @ 6:25pm 
I've considered and partially worked on adding "Daqin" (Great Qin, Chinese name for Roman Empire) and "Daqinese" culture; however, I'm not really sure where I should take it. I feel like it's the sort of thing deserving of being its own mod. I've done enough with it to release it as an update or separate mod, but it feels pretty bare bones.
StarPower Apr 16, 2020 @ 6:09pm 
is any chinese empire involved in this?
DSECool  [author] Apr 11, 2020 @ 2:01am 
Look under decisions. Using Yugoslavia as an example, choosing any South Slavic culture should cause "Form Yugoslavia" to appear. You can also use the search function to find different titles, though all titles are titular by default they became de jure upon upon creation.
SpazzMonkey10 Apr 10, 2020 @ 9:27pm 
Hi, I just downloaded the mod, how will I know if it is up and running in my ck2 game? For example, if I click on the de jure tab, will it show be de jure Yugoslavia for example?
WeirdT Mar 20, 2020 @ 2:56pm 
@DSECool any poibility to Add Industan (Muslim India)
DSECool  [author] Mar 14, 2020 @ 4:11pm 
Ah yeah I've run into that inconvenience many a time myself while testing out the mod. Unfortunately Paradox doesn't have any code that allows you to require only the top holdings. It would be way better if they did. I know it's a pain in the ass, especially when your vassals give land to H.O.s and it's best to play non-ironman, so that you can use console commands.
w.girl27 Mar 14, 2020 @ 3:41pm 
i found out the problem it happend with my confederation run as well it counts any land given to a holy order as not being under your controll so if you gave any land to a non vassalied holy order you have to get it back to create the new grand empire but other than this i love this mod already had the vikings create the united northern empire in my game waring with francespania
DSECool  [author] Mar 7, 2020 @ 6:36pm 
Your culture must be berber, egyptian,west, central, or east african. If that is not the problem then you probably don't own Socotra. I know it's dumb but Paradox considers Socotra to be part of Africa and from a coding stand point it's much easier for me to use Africa as a requirement rather than each individual kingdom/empire.
w.girl27 Mar 7, 2020 @ 6:06pm 
hey how do i form africa i controll all of it but still cant form it what do i need in all? i have magreb mali kanem abyssiania and egypt and nubia ifriqyu but the option is still unclickable?
Elidurden123 Jan 14, 2020 @ 11:28pm 
I am glad this mod was revived but some of the empire formation events are missing text and there is no real point of the form palestine option as all it does is change the name.
DSECool  [author] Dec 22, 2019 @ 12:16pm 
Fixed a typo, should work now
Fred Dec 22, 2019 @ 3:46am 
Doesn't work for me, no decisions and can't find it in titular/province finder. And i can't force it with commands
Szalona Magnificencja Sep 27, 2019 @ 9:04am 
Hej, Can You add Direct Link?
DSECool  [author] Aug 25, 2019 @ 2:43pm 
Actually it only bullshits if you're non-christian; otherwise, the flags are fine.
DSECool  [author] Aug 25, 2019 @ 2:35pm 
Yes, but it just kind of bullshits what the flags are if I recall correctly.
Iffer2x3 Aug 25, 2019 @ 9:13am 
does this work with patrum scuta?
pta0707 Jul 13, 2019 @ 11:45pm 
Good mod
DSECool  [author] Jul 5, 2019 @ 12:20am 
The update is finally here read the bottom part for patch notes.
GodwinMarcelle Jun 12, 2019 @ 7:24pm 
Gauliberia sounds cooler!
DSECool  [author] Jun 12, 2019 @ 8:51am 
Will update hopefully be next Tuesday, all that's left is to learn how to do bloodlines.

Also for anyone reading this which would better to rename Francispania to Gauliberia or to keep as is?
GodwinMarcelle May 26, 2019 @ 8:33pm 
Any updates to speak of? I really love the idea of this mod :)
DSECool  [author] Apr 4, 2019 @ 2:38pm 
Won't be ready for a while, but I can give you a bit of a status report:

---Added generic events for founding of kingdom/empire.
eg. John has united the peoples of England and Frisia and formed Anglo-Frisia

--Grand Russian Empire restructured to contain Russia, Volga-Ural, & Pontic Steppe

--Greater Tartaria restructured to contain Tartaria, Tibet, & Turan

--African empire added requires controlling all of Africa

--Sacred Kingdom (formerly known as Crusader States) no longer formable by Catholics as they
have access to the Outremer

--Added decision to move Estonia to the Wendish Empire (yay for clean borders)

--Currently working on a series of events for the founding of the Confederation which will involve the founder writing a constitution (or not) that establishes the laws of the land with each choice pleasing, displeasing, or merely satisfying your vassals.
GodwinMarcelle Apr 4, 2019 @ 5:24am 
I don't mean to be impatient, but any ETA on this? It's pretty cool, and I'd love to see it come out again :)
Bad Horse Jan 13, 2019 @ 12:10pm 
Disregard my last post, fixed the problem.
DSECool  [author] Dec 23, 2018 @ 12:52am 
I'll probably add that in the future; however, you should know that a proper Holy Fury update is quite far away for me. I'm planning a large update that will add events, bloodlines, etc. to make the mod much more in line with what I've always wanted it to be.

If I do add your idea, it'll probably come with something like "Blood of the New Alexander" bloodline.

So yeah for anyone reading the comments section, the mod isn't dead I just work long-ass hours and don't have much time to update the mod. New ideas are still welcome.
Lord deabus Dec 22, 2018 @ 5:07am 
hey man, i was a tengri horselord who invaded persia and created a massive empire from the edge of india all the way to italy in a few generations but now my empire keeps splitting coz i own persian empire and the byzantine empire and would like a merged empire of the two, since its similar to alexanders empire you could name it similar to that? maybe the great hellanic empire or new hellanic empire? thx
Kennywnorth Oct 22, 2018 @ 6:32pm 
thanks man.
DSECool  [author] Oct 20, 2018 @ 12:34am 
I added a trait called "Grand Ruler". CK2 works weird when it comes to traits. I think the game gives traits an unseen numerical value that changes based on the total number of traits, and so adding more traits to an already existing game causes wonkiness. I've come across similar problems before with mods other than my own. I would suggest deleting my trait file (it should only have grand_ruler) or you can use the console to manually change your own traits, though I am not sure whether the bug has affected other characters as well.
