The Kingdom of Portugal: Flavor Pack

The Kingdom of Portugal

Should note I’ve designed this as a "Christian" mod, not required, but most of the events, etc have been made to roughly (emphasis on roughly) simulate Christian Portuguese history.

Added a mine in Vila Real; no longer Villa Real, which is a barrio of Buenos Aires; so I would advise against canceling the construction there if you control it from the 866 start date (a workaround to add a holding without touching vanilla files beyond the Form Portugal decision). Along with another mine in the Algarve, and some castle’s throughout Portugal.

Added (hopefully accurately) culturally named titles throughout Iberia, and a couple of changes to Arabic, since I didn’t like the cities and baronies having the same name. Andalusian I took a few liberties with as I couldn’t find a dictionary for Andalusian Arabic or Mozarabic. Some of the Iberian cultures spill over into France, so did French titles as well, and will eventually do most areas aside from eastern titles as I don’t play in those areas often, but who knows.

New COA and some unique artifacts for Portugal as well.

Compatibility

Compatible for people without DLC, so nothing will be omitted, but some things will be altered for those players. The only conflict with other mods would be those that alter the "Form Portugal" decision.

Other Stuff

A rough Portuguese translation will be uploaded as soon as it’s finished.

Doesn’t feel ready yet, but if I wait until it is I’ll never release it, so here is a rough draft of sorts, still needs more polish and more flavor events as it’s a bit one note. And need to finish the title snowball it started. As well as come back and add more stuff throughout the peninsula to balance the changes to Portugal. Need to redo some of the castle and artifact art, I’m no artist so please bear with me.

It has certainly ballooned far beyond what I intended; mostly because changing the titles for just a few things made everything else feel weird, it will become an Iberia flavor pack and likely a general flavor pack as I add to it.

Open to suggestions for titles or corrections, I will defer on most things that I haven’t made a certain way knowing it’s anachronistic, like kingdom heir titles for Portugal. Although I may change when they start using them. The name for the county/duchy of Porto I changed to reflect the different names the region was known as at the time, so again not exactly accurate.

The title is a bit tongue in cheek, but hopefully, I’ll add enough to it to justify the name eventually.

Also, I’ve done the bare minimum of play testing just to make sure there are no errors/everything is working as intended, so balancing what I’ve added based on feedback will be first on the agenda. Do keep in mind I plan on adding equivalent castles etc throughout the region, so not necessarily looking to compare power to neighbors but what the building is doing itself. Tried to not go overboard, but we’ll see how close to the mark I got.
