Fewer Provinces Mod
Welcome to the Fewer Provinces Mod!
*Introduction*
With every new expansion, more and more provinces are added to EU4. Almost all mods that overhaul the map also just add more and more provinces to the game.
More detail is awesome, but so is performance. And this constant increase in the number of provinces and countries in the world has made EU4 a lot slower than it was at launch.
That’s where this mod comes in. By significantly reducing the number of provinces and countries in the world, it boosts the game speed significantly.
*Main Features*
– About 75% fewer provinces compared to the unmodded game
– About 60% fewer countries compared to the unmodded game
– The game now runs about 2x faster (On my mid range PC with speed 5, 2 years will now pass ingame per minute real time instead of one year in the unmodded game)
*Compatibility
– This mod should work with most graphical mods, but most likely wont work with mods that alter the map or overhaul other features
– No DLC required
– Not ironman compatible
*Known issues*
– Many mission trees no longer work because they require you to own provinces that are no longer in the game. I do currently not plan on fixing this as it would be too much work
– Many formable nations no longer work as they are missing provinces, I fixed some of the most important ones (Russia, Spain, Great Britain, Italy, Prussia, Germany, Japan)
Changelog:
Update 1:
– Fixed a bug where countries would lose prestige because of uncontested cores in provinces that no longer exist
– Fixed a bug where the Holy Roman Emperor would lose imperial authority because of HRE provinces that no longer exist
– Fixed a bug where Japan was not formable
– Changes to France region, added some puppets back in
