Empire under the Sun – A Colonial Mod

I will no longer continue to develop this mod, but will hopefully fix bugs and keep it updated to the newest version. If you would like to take over development ofthis Mod, feel free to do so! And if you need help, contact me 🙂

Empire under the Sun allows you to release colonial nations (mostly in Africa) that have the owner’s culture and religion and are ruled by governors.

• More than 100 Colonial Nations for all of Africa, the Caribeans, Indochina, Arabia, Indonesia and some other regions that get your primary culture and religion and will be ruled by governors (wait one day after releasing them). You need at least the capital state of each colonial nation.
• A game rule to decide whether the AI should release Colonial Nations if they own all the states needed (Experimental)
• Unique flags for each colonial nation as subjects and independent. Each Colonial Nation has a unique flag as a subject of Great Britain, Italy, France, the Netherlands and Germany as well.
• A new AI strategy for colonial nations that will hopefully let them focus way more on expanding mines, plantations and oil rigs.
• If the Overlord of the British East India Company or the Dutch East Indies changes, their name will change to the adjective of the new overlord.
• As Great Britain you can get a Colonial Conference on which you can gain better relations to your subjects.
• The real Jack the Ripper will appear in an event chain in London.
• Two book events.
• If you use Lettuce_Boy’s Mod ( https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3007278304 ) you will be able to convert your subjects to Dominions and Puppets.

Always save your game before releasing colonial nations. Sometimes it can happen that instead of becoming a subject, the nations will become independent. If you release a big nation as a subject, try to destroy some of the barracks as this will lower their prestige and allow you to be their overlord.

If you have ideas or feedback I would be happy to hear it!

I would like to thank all the amazing people in the Victoria 3 Mod Co-op that answered many of my questions.
Another huge thanks goes to all the sources for the coat of arms. I found some on open clipart, pixabay and Wikipedia.

Yes, feel free to use everything you want (but make sure to give credit where it is needed, for example for some of the coat of arms .dds files). It would be nice to mention my name, but you don’t have to.

Cabinet of Wonders adds a lot of flavor to multiple countries, especially Switzerland.

Better Civil War Flag replaces the revolutionary flags with better looking flags.
