Belgica & Italia Magnifica - Europa Magnifica Preview

ATTENTION!
Patch 1.16.0 has been rolled out along with the accompanying expansion Khans of the Steppe.
If you wish to keep playing with the mod, please revert to the previous patch (Patch 1.15 Crown) until I update the mod.

Belgica & Italia Magnifica is a preview of my larger work-in-progress project Europa Magnifica, whichs aims to revamp the entire map of Europe and surrounding to a far more granular and historically accurate level. This project also aims to provide a more immersive and historical experience. I decided to release this preview to garner more interest for the mod and perhaps recruit some people who would like to help this project a reality.

For a full list of features and changes see the Discord server.

• Hundreds of new provinces in the Low Countries and Italy
  
• Hundreds of new counties in the Low Countries and Italy
  
• New duchies in the Low Countries and Italy
  
• Split of the Cisalpine and Italian cultures into regional ones
  
• Dozens of new historical families and rulers to play as
  
• Some families have had their family tree expanded
  
• New bookmarks for the Low Countries and Italy
  
• Some new regional innovations and a tradition
  
• Dozens of unique special and historical buildings, many with several stages and some even have unique icons for each stage
  
• Expanded name list for the Dutch culture, with many new given namesa and hundreds new dynasty names (Italian ones may or may not be added before release)
  
• Greatly expanded dynasty name lists for all Italian cultures (Tuscan for example has over 5000 historical dynasty names)
  
• Italian cultures other than Tuscan, Umbrian and Roman now use names in the local language as opposed to modern Italian (Emilian-Romagnol currently still uses Italian names due to an absence of sources)
  
• Unique coats of arms for many new titles and historical dynasties
  
• Flavorization for some titles
  
• A few new decisions and events
  
• Lots of new rivers across the map
  
• A few terrain changes, like adding farmlands, forests and a lake
  
• Dozens of new historical characters which can spawn in the Netherlands and Italy, most of whom (if applicable) will write the historical literature artifact they wrote in real-life. Vanilla historical characters who spawn in Italy also write a historical literature artifact.
  
• Cultural name flavorizations for Italy and the Netherlands (mostly for relevant cultures)
  
• Playable 1066 and 1178 startdates (the 867 startdate is technically playable, but not recommended due to lack of historical rulers currently)
  
• The ability to borrow money in the form of loans (unlocked when the Gran Tavola spawns in 1230)

As this mod modifiers a lot of basegame files, it is incompatible with a lot of mods which also do that. The mod is automatically incompatible with any mod which adds provinces or modifiers the map.

The following mods are known to be compatible without compatches:

• Advanced Character Search
  
• Better Barbershop
  
• Invite Debutantes
  
• Knight Manager
  
• Search and Trade Artifacts
  
• VIET Events

The following mods are integrated into the main mod:

• better camera zoom
  
• Matched Eyebrow and Body Hair Colors (only if using CFP & EPE compatch)

The following mods have compatibility patches:

• Community Flavor Pack & Ethnicities and Portraits Expanded (you MUST use both mods in conjunction with the compatch)
  
• More Holding Graphics
  
• Community Flavor Pack & Ethnicities and Portraits Expanded & More Holding Graphics (also need both of the above compatches)
  
• The Catholic Trinity
  
• Patrum Scuta
  
• Holy Roman Triumph: Coronation Ceremonies
  
• More Interactive Vassals
  
• More Game Rules

I recommend all of these mods to increase immersion, especially the Catholic Trinity, which introduces Papal and Investiture mechanics.

ATTENTION!
This is very important! If using any of the compatches, please use the following load order (omit those not in use).
Not following the load order may result in crashes, errors or bugs.
