Habsburgs and Hussites [More Brutal Hussite Wars]

This mod, at a glance, has two primary objectives: provide a serious challenge for a Bohemia player, or to dynamically devastate Bohemia to prevent their blobbing. It uses Game Rules to allow the player to tweak the wars to their liking, to the degree they can virtually assure a victory for either side, or leave it balanced.

Bohemian Devastation: Any location occupied during the Hussite Wars by crusading forces will lose 30-40% of its population, take severe prosperity damage, and be granted a damaging modifier for the next 30 years. This effect has a cooldown and cannot be cheesed to depopulate regions.

Massive Catholic Coalition: Every Catholic neighbor of Bohemia will attack them. Hungary and the Teutonic Order have dynamic events to be called into the war, as well.

Vassal Betrayal: All Catholic subjects of Bohemia will break away on the start of the Hussite Wars.

Constant Assault: The Pope will start the next Hussite Crusade as soon as his truce ends.

Bohemian Explosion: Should Bohemia lose the Hussite Wars, all of their land outside of the Bohemia Area will lose their cores and be immediately annexed by their neighbors. They will take a further population hit and their AI will be granted a modifier to heavily reduce their aggression for the next hundred years. Crucially, they retain possession of their gold mines, and therefore are capable of an eventual recovery.

Rise of the Habsburgs: Should Bohemia lose the Hussite Wars, Austria will be granted a massive buff for the next 120 years, which will then decline into a lighter, permanent buff. Their AI aggression will be ramped up, and they are granted free cores on all of their historical land. Any land in the Austria, Upper Austria, Tirol, and Salzburg areas that are held by other nations will be freely annexed (unless its owned by a player). In addition, the lands of Silesia will be consolidated into the hands of one of Bohemia’s former vassals.

Shifting HRE Dominance: Bohemia remains exceptionally powerful in the early game and will conquer and shape the HRE. Their potential destruction and rise of Austria allows for other members of the HRE to grow to prominence in their wake, changing the balance of power immensely as the age transitions from Medieval to Early Modern.

Catholic Champion:

• Default: OFF
• Options: ON, OFF
• Effects: Causes the strongest Catholic nation in Europe to be invited to the Hussite Wars.
• Recommendation: lf you are planning to participate in the Hussite Wars against Bohemia as a player, leave this setting off, or else the Hussites will stand no chance. If you will not be involved in the wars, and wish to see Bohemia lose to allow for anti-blobbing or for a more dynamic HRE, enable this setting.

Bohemia, Buffed or Nerfed:

• Default: Minor penalties
• Options: Minor, Severe, Buff
• Effects: Grants Bohemia either a tiny penalty modifier, severe penalty modifier, or large buff during the duration of the Hussite Wars.
• Recommendation: If you are planning to fight Bohemia in the Hussite Wars, leave as either a small penalty or a buff. If you will not be involved in the wars, and wish to see Bohemia lose to allow for anti-blobbing or for a more dynamic HRE, set this to nerf, and combine it with the Catholic Champion!

Rise of Austria:

• Default: ON
• Options: ON, OFF
• Effects: Grants Austria a huge buff in the aftermath of the Hussite Wars
• Recommendation: Only leave enabled if you are not playing as Austria! It will absolutely trivialize the game if a player is granted this power!!!

Ensured Defeat:

• Default: OFF
• Options: ON, OFF
• Effects: Bohemia will automatically lose the Hussite Wars after five years.
• Recommendation: Only enable in you will not be interfering in the war at all. Do not enable if playing Bohemia.

– Abide by historical accuracy. The real Hussite wars were infinitely more complex than either vanilla EU5 or this mod can handle. This mod’s primary purpose to allow for dynamic rise and fall of power in the HRE
– Balance warfare, make the AI cooperate better in coalition wars
– Nerf Bohemia in the early game
– Prevent external powers from eating the HRE

The vanilla file containing the events for the Hussite Wars is completely overwritten, as there is no other way to alter vanilla events. No other vanilla files are touched. It will be fully compatible with any other mods, including those that alter the Hussite or Catholic faiths or even those that alter the HRE, provided that they do not alter the Hussite War files.

Combine this mod with my other mod, Dynamic Early Conquests to prevent Bohemia from expanding to the point of being unstoppable in the early game. It will also prevent France from eating the Western HRE, so that an overpowered Bohemia is not needed as a counter-balance.
