Description:

Many of us have always feel a bit disappointed by the various choices of vanilla in terms of both flavour, lore and balance, so we gathered here a group of people to create a mod that

– Would list the National Ideas in historical order
– Would aim for an internal and external balance
– Would still maintain full compatibility with Vanilla ideas

Russian Translation: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2859743184

Right now Historical National Ideas features around 275 reworked National Ideas all around the world, with both national ideas for
Standard Nations
Colonial Nations
Formables

Formables

Some nations have been granted special national ideas based on the primary culture of the formable and will present a variation

1. Commonwealth [-Lithuania -Poland ]
2. Netherlands [-Dutch -Flemish -Frisian ]
3. Russia [-Muscovy -Novgorod ]
4. Greece [-Greek -Latin ]
5. Jerusalem [-Knights -Latin ]
6. Holy Roman Empire [-Burgundy -Bohemia -Habsburg -Latin ]
7. Germany-Revolutionary
8. Italy [-Crusader -Dynastic -Maritime -Republican -Lombard -Sardinian -Sicilian]
9. Spain [-Andalucian -Aragonese -Basque -Castilian -Catalan -Galician -Leonese -Portuguese ]

10. Maya [-Maypan, -Cocomes]

Colonial Nations

The idea was to create a variation of the Colonial ideas based on the primary culture of the nation forming, in this way the various colonial nation won’t feel similar

1. Colonial-British
2. Colonial-Dutch
3. Colonial-Latin
4. Colonial-Portuguese
5. Colonial-Spanish

Vanilla Compatibility

Remember, this mod does not edit any vanilla file for maximum compatibility.

We can understand how you might not like our design choices, therefore Historical National Ideas has created a Decision/Interface Button *Swap National Ideas* which will grant you the ability to swap between HIE and Vanilla idea groups!

How does it work?

1. Every nation that has Historical Ideas Expanded set will start with HIE ideas [they will be the default]
2. The decision will allow you to swap between Vanilla and HIE ideas up to 2 times per each age
3. In this way you will be able to see what are your vanilla ideas and, if you want to return to HIE ideas, swap back

This decision is allowed 2 times for every tag, so when you change country [for example from Venice to Italy] you will be able to choose for both of them which ideas you want to keep.
