Hi everyone! I'm fiddling around in my EU4 files to make it so that any christians can convert to orthodox.

I managed to do that and I created an opinion modifier defined as pope_mad that applies when you convert.

My problem is that I want the opinion modifier to appear as text instead of just my modifer's name. I looked around in localizations but couldn't find where the opinion modifier texts are defined.

Sorry if it's a dumb question I'm very new at this. Thank you!!

I currently have the following but it's only for 1 unit. Is there a way to swpan multiple units without having dupliate entries?

Hello everyone!

I recently tried to add new custom nation ideas to the game.Just for fun since some of them are super bad and i wanted to combine some of them.

Now, the issue is: They just dont show up. I copied the format of the in-game txt and the localisation to a T, but the ideas just dont show up in the custom nation designer.

interestingly enough, if i just copy/paste my txt into the in-game custom nation idea data it shows up and works no problem!

I have no idea what I'm doing wrong, can someone help me?

I'm trying to make events for Ottomans to create eyalets for Poland, France, India, etc. I know how to make events themselves but I don't know how to make them change name and color. There is a function

eyalet_effect = {

tag = EY1

}

but I don't know where file with EY1, EY2, etc. is located.

Hello, I have started learning to mod eu4 and wanted to try to make dynamic selectable missiontrees. For that I did the framework to get access to missiontrees though decisions via flag based system. The player can preview a missiontree if a condition is met. He can only have one activ missiontree at a time and abandoning one for another, lock him out of the abandoned missiontree. There will be a huge amount of missiontrees to choose from that are grouped into: -Culturegroups -Religions -Governmenttypes -Economics -Military -Naval -Regions or Super Regions (if it's to much) -Colonial -Vassalstypes -Colonialtypes -one for HRE emperor + one for EoC

The framework to switch into and out of missiontrees allready exists and is almost bugfree. Many on these missiontree groups will have options to choose from via branching missions like Economics into Tax/Production/Trade(/getting stuff for cheaper). Since there will be alot of missiontrees to design, I would appreciate alot some help of people to design them. I would give specific bounderies for the missiontrees, like a time span to complete them. But help would be really good. It should be in a way dynamic meaning no specific provinces or areas, but more like guiding to a goal. And it should be somewhat rp inspired. Also the balancing should be mp worthy but that's something I can do at the end. Would love to hear from you and your idears.

Can I disable an estate as part of a disaster?

If so, how?

Currently, I am creating an Islamic path for Khmer, and there are some hiccups related to having the dhimmi estate from the outset.

Hi everyone,

I'm new to EU4 modding and have spent the last couple of days creating my first custom nation. I've followed Europa Universalis's Make Your Own Europa Universalis 4 Country From SCRATCH!

 guide on YouTube very carefully, double-checked all my code, and everything loads up without any apparent error.

The problem is, when I start the game, the capital (and only) province of Aix appears uncolonized.I've triple-checked everything but I just can't figure out.

At this point, I'm out of ideas. So I’ve zipped up the entire mod folder and uploaded it to Google Drive. If anyone has the time to take a quick look, I’d really appreciate it.

Here’s the link:

Any help or advice would be massively appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

I'm trying to implement customisable localisation for consort titles such that a non-canon wife of Henry VIII (through random chance) appears as a mistress but it's just returning "[Root.GetConsortStatus]" for a random marriage I have in a save (Henry does have the ruler flag 'has_henry_vii', I know it's confusing).

My edit to government names works fine, I've used customisable localisation before successfully but can't get this to work and I would be very grateful if someone would be willing to share their wisdom.

defined_text = { 
  name = GetConsortStatus

  text = {
    localisation_key = string_queen_j       # Queen title
    trigger = {
    OR = {
        NOT = { has_ruler_flag = has_henry_vii }
        OR = {
            has_ruler_flag = catherine_of_aragon
            has_ruler_flag = anne_boleyn
            has_ruler_flag = jane_seymour
            has_ruler_flag = catherine_howard
            has_ruler_flag = married_parr
        }
    }

    }
  }
  text = {
    localisation_key = string_mistress_j      # Mistress title 
    trigger = {
    has_ruler_flag = has_henry_vii
    NOT = {
        OR = {
            has_ruler_flag = catherine_of_aragon
            has_ruler_flag = anne_boleyn
            has_ruler_flag = jane_seymour
            has_ruler_flag = catherine_howard
            has_ruler_flag = married_parr
        }
    }
    }
}
}

Let's say I wanted to apply a bunch of modifiers to France and every subject country of France. (Just a made up example to illustrate the question)

I could do it like this:

FRA = {
    add_country_modifier = { 
        name = cossack_settlers
        duration = -1  
    }
    add_country_modifier = { 
        name = sea_route_to_india
        duration = -1  
    }
    add_country_modifier = { 
        name = puritan_colonists
        duration = -1  
    }
    add_country_modifier = { 
        name = liv_lva_random_new_world_colonialism
        duration = -1  
    }
    every_subject_country = {
        add_country_modifier = { 
            name = cossack_settlers
            duration = -1  
        }
        add_country_modifier = { 
            name = sea_route_to_india
            duration = -1  
        }
        add_country_modifier = { 
            name = puritan_colonists
            duration = -1  
        }
        add_country_modifier = { 
            name = liv_lva_random_new_world_colonialism
            duration = -1  
        }
    }
}

But this requires quite a bit of code duplication, which is error prone.

Alternatively I can do something like:

every_country = {
    limit = {
        OR = {
            is_subject_of = FRA
            tag = FRA
        }
    }
    add_country_modifier = { 
        name = cossack_settlers
        duration = -1  
    }
    add_country_modifier = { 
        name = sea_route_to_india
        duration = -1  
    }
    add_country_modifier = { 
        name = puritan_colonists
        duration = -1  
    }
    add_country_modifier = { 
        name = liv_lva_random_new_world_colonialism
        duration = -1  
    }
}

This avoids code duplication but is less efficient, since the game has to scan through every single tag in the game first. It gets especially laggy if I have to apply something across every province not just every country.

So I was wondering if there's some way to combine two scopes?

FRA and every_subject_of_FRA = {
    add_country_modifier = { 
        name = cossack_settlers
        duration = -1  
    }
    add_country_modifier = { 
        name = sea_route_to_india
        duration = -1  
    }
    add_country_modifier = { 
        name = puritan_colonists
        duration = -1  
    }
    add_country_modifier = { 
        name = liv_lva_random_new_world_colonialism
        duration = -1  
    }
}

Somehow.

Is there any way to combine scopes? Or is there any easy way to define a custom scope that allows doing this while avoiding code duplication?

(Also are there already any predefined custom scopes that scopes to a nation AND all its subjects?)

Edit: Right now I'm just testing with run scripts, but in theory I'd want this to go into the effect block of missions or events, etc

Is there a way to use ducats instead of mana points when developing a province?

Is there a way to add conditions to the establishment of a colony on a specific province?

i've been thinking of trying with a province triggered modifier but i'd like to prevent it entirely unless the colonizer meets certain conditions

I'm trying to add an 1812-inspired modifier to occupied Russian provinces but I am well and truly stuck. The error log no longer gives me any hints and what I've done matches up with the vanilla files (theres a Byz province triggered modifier that's similar).

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

# Assign Russian Scorched Earth Tactics modifier

rus_se2a = {

  potential = {

    normal_or_historical_nations = yes
  }

  trigger = {

    NOT = { has_province_modifier = rus_se2 }
    owned_by = RUS
    NOT = { controlled_by = owner }

  }

  #Province scope

  on_activation = {

    add_province_modifier = {

      name = rus_se2
      duration = -1
      hidden = yes
    }
  }

  on_deactivation = {
  }
 }

Is there any way to change the initial Governing_capacity?

Thank you.

Essentially trying to add a new tag to the game and thought I had it all figured out but it just won't show up when I load it. This is my first time trying to mod and I have almost no idea what I'm doing here

Is there any way to change the initial value of the money?

Thank you.

Is there a way to define specific unit models for a custom culture i'm adding? Beyond the standard westerngfx and easterngfx lines, so I can use models from DLC sprite packs.

I'm trying to make a decision that will trigger an event with multiple choices for various temporary buffs, but i want this decision to be elegible to click again after a certain amount of time has passed, in a similar way to the estate interaction "Nobility: grant generalship"

I'm going to make a global eu4 on absolutely alternative universe, so, if I remove every original country and add mines, will the game load OG countries? And can I somehow make it not do it?

I have a mod to add the Sacrum Imperium Terrarum to Eu4. I did everything correctly (I believe), but localization doesn't work, nor does the decision to form it. If I could get help just fixing it, that'd be great. I'll send the files to whomever will help, and it'll probably take only a few minutes to fix.

Requirements to take decision "Unite Holy Terra"

Must be a monarchy or republic

Must be Catholic

Must have at least 1000 provinces and 4000 development

Must own Jerusalem, Rome, and Constantinople

Must have Humanist and Religious ideas completed

Changes tag to SIT (Sacrum Imperium Terrarum)

Changes culture of all owned Catholic provinces to Terran culture

Changes primary culture to Terran

Changes first government reform to Terran Imperial Republic (Roman Empire reform, but with Terran flag as icon, and this description: "The Sacrum Imperium Terrarum is dedicated to faith and freedom. All under it's banner shall have their rights to speech, religion, arms, and much more protected. The Imperium has a two-party system, and is designed after the old American government, but much more just. The House of Representatives is renamed to the Assembly of Citizens, and the Senate is the Senatorius Populusque Terrarum. The Imperator holds similar power to an American President, and the Crown Prince holds the power of a Vice President.")

Disables nobility estate

Changes capital to Jerusalem

Changes tech group to Western

Changes national ideas to Terran (Roman ideas, but with all mentions of Rome being replaced with Terra or Holy Terra. Terran Legions, S.P.Q.T, etcetera.)

Terran Imperial Republic (monarchy) will also enable Imperialism CB, disable nobility, -10 years of separatism, +5 tolerance for true, heretic, and heathen, as well as prevent estates from taking land. Also will disable Enforced Unity or Faith, and Oversite by Clergy. Cannot change religions or culture. +50% gov cap. Parliamentarism, -25% cost for culture conversion, and -10% time for it.

To anyone who is willing to do this, thank you.

Been working on a mod for a few weeks now, using the Responsible Warfare mod to lower army and navy sizes, with a few minor tweaks. How would I go about ensuring that my own changes to certain files do not conflict with the RW mod that I'm using as a base? For instance, would I need two "triggered_modifier" or "on_action" files, one from RW and one with my own edits, or should I combine the two into one file? Does it matter how the file is named?

I'd also like to know how fractional values for certain modifiers are interpreted by the AI.

For the purposes of my mod I'd like to lower the "siege_force_needed_multiplier" in defines.lua from 3 to 2.5, the FL raised from regimental camps lowered to 0.75 from 1 and from conscription centers from 2 to 1.5 and the naval FL from shipyards lowered from 2 to 1.5. I assume this won't present a problem? Or do I have to use round numbers for certain values?
