Help is always wanted, and anyone desiring to lend their support is more than welcome to by contacting me using the project’s Discord Page.[discord.gg]
Q: Why is this older than the main version of AEP?
A: This is due to the developer version being previously used for the now outdated Asia Expansion Mod prior to it’s change to AEP.

Q: "Does this alter any core mechanics or add new ones to base CK3?"
A: Currently no, although there are plans on adding new government types, struggle mechanics, events and decisions in future releases of the mod.
Q: "How can I join the team?"
A: Help is always welcome here on the project, and if you’re interested please consider reaching out to us over on Discord[discord.gg].
Q: "Are you collaborating or planning on collaborating with any other modders on the Workshop?"
A: Some yes, while we prefer to use our own in-house assets we’re open to collaborating and making use of assets created by other modders provided their content aligns with the project’s goals.
Q: "Why am I seeing faceless characters that haunt my dreams and keep me awake at night?"
A: The missing face bug has been present in vanilla CK3 since the release of the 1.7 update, and isn’t the fault of the Asia Expansion Project. Find out more here[forum.paradoxplaza.com].
Q: Why are my characters bald and/or naked:
A: Typically, it’s due to a mod conflict or incorrect load order. However, it could also be related to corrupted or missing game files in the Paradox root directory, which would require invalidating. So please rule out these possibilities before reporting a bug on the Discord.
Q: How can I help support the mod’s development?
A: You can support the project by spreading the word on social media, or backing the project over on Ko-fi – every little bit helps.
