Ultimate Flavor Afghanistan

Description
IMPORTANT NOTE: This comes bundled with my Ultimate Flavor Persia and India mod, so don't have all three activated at the same time or you will have issues.

This mod reflects the actual situation of Afghanistan in 1836, which did not exist yet. The Durrani empire, which previously held the region, fell apart and split into separate emirates two decades beforehand. Each emirate has their own unique issues that range from succession crises, power hungry viziers, and tyrannical shahs. Can you reunify the region under one of the historical emirates? Only unified, will Afghanistan stand a chance to survive The Great Game between Russia and Great Britain.

New Content Highlights
  • Afghanistan is now made up of 4 states instead of 2. Uzbekia has 3 instead of 1. Kalat and Makran are their own states instead of them sharing 1 split state.
  • Starting resources, state traits, and pops are more accurate.
  • A Historical tag for certain journal entries and events for those that want to follow history.
  • Each emirate starts with the “Unify Afghanistan” AI strategy, which is based off the “Unify Ethiopia” AI strategy that is used for extra aggression between the Ethiopian states. So don't’ be surprised if one of the emirates tries to conquer you within the first year of gameplay.
  • Unique starting journal entries for each emirate in the Afghanistan region. Many historical characters have been added to each as well.
  • Intricate system for Persia and all of Central Asia for The Great Game. As well as alt-history branching paths you can choose to deal with it as Afghanistan.
  • ”Graveyard of Empires” journal entries and random events to help win wars of independence from the Great Powers.
  • New formable of Greater Khorasan.
  • More claims in the region and the states surrounding them.
  • Jizya tax is a law and all Muslim countries start with it (don’t be surprised if the papal states enacts this lol)
  • Afghanistan can have different names depending on which Emirate forms it.
  • And so much more!

Ultimate Flavor Future Content
This is the second of my Ultimate Flavor series of mods. I'm going to be working on the other countries in the Middle-Eastern region as stand alone mods, but with each previous mod bundled with the new one. All this culminating in one giant mod that has flavor for every country in the Middle-East. The next one after this will be Arabia.

Mod Help
I want a flavor mod for every country/region. To do that, I need help. The biggest thing I need are modders. Anyone else who would like to make suggestions for content, do research, or anything else would also be appreciated. Join my discord below if you’re interested or if you just want to follow along with development updates.

Mod Compatibility
Highly doubtful this will work with any overhaul mods as I change A LOT of history files. Anything that changes starting building setup, starting pops, state traits and locations, characters for Persia, religion, Middle-Eastern countries, Central Asian countries, starting states, and AI that involves diplomacy and attitude towards other countries will cause issues with my mod. The important thing is that it works with Anbeeld's Revision of AI.

Questions/Bugs
If you have any questions or find any bugs then please let me know in the comments or my Discord and I'll address them ASAP.

Calling the northern province as Maymana is odd. Why not call it south turkestan/afghan turkestan/Balkh. Also the herat province look weird

This is now updated to 1.5.9 and includes the new India content

@grmaikgr In about 2 week I should have the India flavor mod released which will include all Afghan flavor and will be updated to 1.5

Very encouraging to see an expansion mod with no graphical content out of place! The utilization of vanilla graphics is great to see, hope you won't burn out because of lack of grand popularity. Just wish you'd mute the warlords' colours a bit as they are quite eye stinging and stick out in general comparing to the area around them. :spaceduck:

Appreciate the dedication. Makes the vanilla game a lot more enjoyable and makes playing outside of Europe just as interesting. The quality of the mod honestly makes me think that Paradox could have done a lot more in terms of content. A lot of the nations in the middle east didn't receive the same attention as Europe. I'll be keeping an eye on this series. Much respect.

@Yeller many of the initial ones, yes. That includes the Persia content, so if they take the revive Persian empire journal entry then they'll be a definite threat to the Afghanistan states. Could use some more work on some of the later journal entries, but if the player is the one playing as one of the Afghan states then it's almost always the one that forms Afghanistan and gets to those journal entries anyway.

will AI do the journal entries?

This is amazing thank you!

@BLZBLK No problem. Just glad it's working now and thanks for bringing the issue to my attention.
