Description:
An Gorta Mór

for Victoria 3 1.13.*

Disease and death in every quarter – the once hardy population worn away to emaciated skeletons – fever, dropsy, diarrhea, and famine rioting in every filthy hovel, and sweeping away whole families…seventy-five tenants ejected here, and a whole village in the last stage of destitution there…dead bodies of children flung into holes hastily scratched in the earth without shroud or coffin…every field becoming a grave, and the land a wilderness.

An Gorta Mór expands the vanilla Hungry Forties JE with the addition of the deadly Great Hunger that historically killed and displaced millions of Irish people.

  • If the Hungry Forties hasn’t started yet, extra Disease Outbreaks will spawn in 1843, 1845, and 1846 to nudge it along.
  • Once the Hungry Forties start, Ireland and the Scottish Highlands will suffer a catastrophic blight that destroys Subsistence Output.
  • Great Britain recieves a short Irish Famine Journal Entry with a few events and options for responding to the crisis.

A few changes have also been made to the Corn Laws JE:

  • Great Britain now begins the game with Mercantilism
  • Corn Laws JE can now complete by passing Protectionism and lowering grain prices sufficiently
  • Corn Laws JE will now invalidate if grain prices drop to baseline even without changing trade laws
