[1.9] James’s Korea Flavor Pack

==========

James’s Korea Flavor Pack ((J)KFP) is a mod that aims to add historically-inspired flavor to Korea. It includes dozens of historical characters serving as rulers, commanders, IG leaders, and agitators, complete with DNA. It also includes a host of flags from my old Expanded Flags: Korea mod, dynamic country names and colors, and unique party & interest group names.

KFP comes with detailed journal entries and event chains driving historical content throughout the majority of a Korea campaign. Face the challenge of reining in a Korean administration on fire at the tail end of the Sedo Politics period, appease or crush the Imo Mutiny and Donghak Peasant Rebellion, and modernize the nation with the Gwangmu Reforms agenda. The decisions you make to navigate one of Korea’s most tumultuous historical periods will determine whether the fledgling kingdom remains a small, far-flung dot on a map or whether they achieve their wildest dreams and become a Great Power in Asia, rivaling that of China and Japan.

I am not a historian or native Korean. I am an American-born Korean-American who has a casual interest in Korean history. I do not have very authoritative sources nor do I have the motivation or means to track such things down. The content in this mod is meant to be historically-inspired, but not a 100% historically-accurate depiction of the events and characters in Korea’s history, similar to vanilla Victoria 3 content.

Users of Timber to Steel should use this compatibility patch for improved interoperability.

—–

KFP defines all its content in its own files, so it should be compatible with most mods.

However, any mod doing any of the following things may cause conflicts:

• Changing the Korean states in terms of their shapes and internal names
• Changing the provinces in Korean states
• Removing the vanilla interest groups
• Adding or removing Korean flags
• Changing the starting ruler and/or heir of Korea
• Changing the vanilla logic for the on_heir_born on action

Any mod that does any of the above may require a compatibility patch for both to function correctly.

—–

Additionally, any mod that does any of the following will conflict with KFP, but will not cause KFP to error:

• Changing Japanese flags or dynamic country names

A compatibility patch may be required for these mods to work in harmony with KFP, but any mod that overwrites KFP in these areas may do so without issues.

The positioning of KFP with respect to other mods should not matter, except in the case of certain compatibility patches.
Follow any instructions provided by compatibility patch mods.

If you are having issues with other, unrelated mods, place KFP lower (towards the bottom) in your playset.

This mod does not rely on any DLC features, so you should not need any DLCs.

Certain content from the Sphere of Influence DLC has been overwritten or tweaked to integrate with the mod’s features.
It is still possible to earn the Hermit Kingdom achievement with KFP enabled!

Look at the Sedo Politics journal before you come whining, please, thanks

If you’re a concerned onlooker: the AI is also capable of handling it themselves if you give them like 50 years and a couple of civil wars to do it
