World History Institutions
Alternative historiography mod. This mod replaces the vanilla eurocentric institutions with a new set that aims to tell a narrative based in world history.
EU4 is a fantastic, but very eurocentric game (it’s even in the name!), with many of its mechanics either explicitly or implicitly having an understanding of history in which the rise of Europe is inevitable. This mod presents an alternative more appropriate world history reading.
The second goal is to make it for fun to play outside of Europe with the Institution mechanic. I despise the vanilla mechanic of developing an institution. You will always be ahead in institutions compared to your neighbors. This has been removed. Instead different institutions will spread from different regions on the map. Nations will only be able to embrace them once it reaches them.
The World History Institutions:
– Pax Mongolica, 1235 (present Eurasia, North- and East Africa at start)
– Tributary System, 1405 (present at start in Ming and will spread to tributaries and states visited by Zheng He)
– Columbian Exchange, 1492 (similar to Colonialism but with spread much faster)
– Farang Guns, 1550 (will appear in East Asia, European and Ottomans get for free)
– Global Trade, 1600 (will appear in biggest trade node, has various ways of spreading)
– Manufactories, 1650 (most likely to first appear in India, to represent Indian dominance in textile manufacturing)
– Empiricism, 1700 (for now a renamed but largely unchanged Enlightenment, will subject to more change in the future)
– Industrial Revolution, 1750 (unchanged from vanilla, but much bigger tech penalties)
This mod is not designed to be compatible with other mods.
