Timber to Steel – Naval Expansion Mod
Timber to Steel is a mod focused on the naval aspect of Victoria 3. Although it can’t fundamentally change the mechanics of the game, it adds new buildings, production methods, goods, events and other additions, to give a fuller naval experience.
The mod has been updated to 1.5.10, and should be working now.
- New Unit Types: The mod adds several unit types, such as Screw Frigates, Pre-Dreadnoughts and Fleet Carriers, to smooth out the tech tree and provide a more uniform progression.
- New Research System: Modern ship types such as dreadnoughts are now researched through a journal entry, with additional requirements.
- New Unit attributes such as armor, penetration, and torpedoes, which can trigger certain battle conditions.
- Navy Professionalism: Each country has a level of Navy Professionalism, that can be increased or lowered through events or decisions. It impacts a navy’s combat performance and might trigger additional events.
- Buying and Selling of Ships: Countries that don’t have access to advanced ship technology might instead choose to purchase the capability from another power, for a cost.
- Naval Treaties: Late in the game, Great Powers might call a disarmament conference and agree to downsize their navies.
And more: New events, journal entries, characters, etc.
Future content will hopefully include integrating Voice of the People content, a way to exercise gunboat diplomacy, orders to blockade enemies at war, and more events and flavor for existing features.
