EQUTIES' mod - Maps and improvements

Description
More European provinces

This mod aims to improve the overall European map with more provinces and redrawn borders.

The mod adds more provinces, aswell as a lot of mountain ranges (inspired by CK3). This really enhances the strategic gameplay experience, and brings a fresh new look to a European map that has not been updated in a very long time.

Aside from adding new provinces in the regions below, I did take the time to reshape some other province around Europe to make them match the rivers. It may not be historical accurate, but it looks a lot better in my opinion.

Changes:

- Inflation now hits harder and has a bigger effect on the prices. Be carefull
- Changed the bonusses of old and useless advisors, and incorporating new features.
- Great powers now get a debuff, making it harder to maintain a big empire and snowball.
- Adjustet the difficulty settings. Playing on hard will now buff the AI in more ways.
This is to provide a greater challenge to the human player.
- Added a new terrain type for small urban areas.

Scandinavia:
- 15 land new provinces added.
- 1 new sea zone added.
- Slighty increased development.
- Graphical overhaul with added trees and marsh.
- Stockholm starts with a castle.
- Kola is now in Russian region.
- Skåneland is now a releable nation with custom ideas.
- Added Scanian and Geatish culture.
- Finish and Sami culture is seperate from Scandinavian.

Baltic:
- 8 land new provinces added.
- Gave Marienburg a port and acces to the sea
- Warszawa now starts with a castle for better balance.

Germany:
- Added 7 new provinces.
- Ruppin starts as a vassal of Brandenburg.
- Buffed Brandenburg Gate monument.
- Reduced the gov. cap. penalty for Prussian Monarchy from 50% to 30%
- Reduced some of the bonusses from the Prussian Monarchy for balance.

Lowlands:
- 1 land new province added.
- 1 new sea zone added.
- Moved East Frisia to the North German region.
- Dutch culture group is seperate from German.

Iberia:
- Added a lot of mountain ranges inspired by CK3.
- 4 new provinces added.
- Portugal is green again.
- Other province redrawings to better match rivers.

Bohemia:
- Added a lot of mountain ranges inspired by CK3.
- 2 land new provinces added.
- Morovia starts as a vassel.

Hungary:
- Added 4 new provinces.
- 1 New mountain range added.
- Pest now starts with a castle for balance.
- Slighty increased development.

France:
- Recolored the French vassels to different shades of blue.
- Added 9 new provinces.
- Moved the castle from Chatres to Paris for AI balance.

Balkan:
- 7 land new provinces added.
- 1 new sea zone added.
- Slighty nerfed the Ottomans and gave them red map colour

Italy:
- Added 2 mountain ranges.
- Added 4 provinces.

I would love to add more going forward.
Please leave some feedback and let me know of what changes you think would make the European map better.

I really like your mod, especially improving Scandinavia, you think the Swedish developers would done that, but oh well, anyhoo, my one wonder is if its compatible with any of the "Expanded Family" so many of us love...

@solomon2258 Most missions and events are tied up on states, so if I add or remove states I have to update all missions and all events regarding that. That is way to big of a task, so that is why some states now have a big amount of provinces.

@Spaceracer yes I made them their own culture

I think tou need do something with states that have more than 5 provinces(like Finland, Mazovia, etc) and why you united Balereans Islands?

Did not put Turkish in the same culture group as far eastern Siberians, subbed.

Thank you @Deep. I love to take feedback, but unfortunately I can't always make everyone happy. I am glad you like the other changes, and I hope the overall mod still makes you wanna play with it. If you are really conserned about it, you can always just use the console to give Bohemia those 3 provinces via commands.
