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 over 20 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KFP also comes with detailed journal entries and event chains intended to drive some historical content throughout the majority of a Korea campaign in the form of the Sedo Politics period, the Donghak Peasant Rebellion, and the Gwangmu Reforms. Depending on the steps you take to handle the crises and the modernization of Korea, you will be able to receive different bonuses, maluses, and a somewhat unique interst group. Historical kings & regents will come and go for the first half of the game as you bring the chaotic Korean administration under control. Should you fail to appease the peasants, a railroaded Donghak Peasant Rebellion conflict will start, complete with special war support mechanics and historical leaders. Be warned – a Korea not maintaining its military may struggle against the peasants!

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, the following things may cause conflicts:

• Changing the Korean, Japanese, or Chinese states in terms of their shapes and names on the map
• 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

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

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.
