Performance map (The days that Rajas Never Rise)

India? What India? I don’t care about Eastern, let’s just focus on Mediaeval world.
And running a month within two seconds on a laptop!

This mod brings back the good old world map border before patch 2.1, which released alongside the Rajas of India expansion.
Highlight:

• 476 provinces removed
• 10000+ characters with titles removed
• Re-arranged holy sites
• Re-arranged de jure kingdoms and empires
• OLD and THICC Sahara desert!

Therefore, you’ll have huge performance improvement.(~121% faster comparing to the vanilla game, it varies depending on the situation.)

Crusade Kings II 3.3.4 [SOHY]
[x] Ironman compatible
[x] Savegame compatible
[x] EU4 converter compatible
Major update 12/31/20: Rework the setup landless title, a savegame might be broken. A new game is recommended.

Un-recommended DLC:

• Rajas of India – Obviously, but I found it’s totally fine to play my mod with RoI dlc, Paradox did nothing essential or important in this hollow dlc…
• Jade Dragon – You can still play with that, however some events might be broken(eastern provinces become invalid)

Mod does not show/work in the launcher…

1. In "%userprofile%DocumentsParadox InteractiveCrusader Kings IImod", delete"legacy_map.zip","legacy_map.mod" and "legacy_map.mod.mod" if any.
2. Start CK2 from Steam(important!), wait the game unpack the mod from Steam and close it(meh…) and launch it again and you should able to enable it.
3. If the stupid CK2 did not copy the mod from Steam and unpack it to right place, you can manually download here[bitsend.jp], extract it to "%userprofile%DocumentsParadox InteractiveCrusader Kings IImod" and say the magic spell "♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥", boom you’re now able to play with it.
4. BTW, roll back the game to 3.2.1 also helping solve these problem either[forum.paradoxplaza.com]…good job Paradox.

Is it stable enough to play for long term?

• I’ve created this mod since patch 2.8 and play with it at least 30+ runs. So I’d say it’s QC Pass.

But I do want it EU4 converter compatible, any chance?

• Copy the save out and load it in a game without the mod enabled. Let the game goes for a few day to spawn removed province and you’ll able to convert your save to EU4 savegame.

Some characters at map border become landless and unplayable, how?

• They held removed, invalid provinces so unplayable from main menu.
  If you want play as them, just start as other one and using console command "~play %character_ID$"

Sometimes Kara-Khitai/Chagatai khaganate/some_kingdoms broken apart on a game start, why?

• The CK2 did not handle landless attribute well if you load a game, resign and start it over again.
  You need quit to desktop and launch CK2 again for a fresh initial setup, and these title will render correctly now.
