Realms of Exether

Realms of Exether is a total conversion mod aiming to bring a D&D inspired fantasy world to Victoria 3. This includes myriad custom races such as elves, dwarves, dragons, naga and gnolls with unique racial mechanics. The ability to pursue magical-steampunk technology or the arcane arts and a plethora of new mechanics.

This is still an early build to set the foundation for future content, and updates will be done every two weeks for the steam workshop. Our development build on GitLab linked throughout this description tends to have multiple daily updates, but it is unstable.

Join our Discord[discord.gg] to follow updates, as well as to receive faster responses and better support for issues encountered.

If an update broke your save, subscribe to the previous version through Paradox Mods[mods.paradoxplaza.com] or download it from our GitLab[gitlab.com]

Extended flavor and mechanics:

• List coming soon!

• Unique flavor for every playable country across the map in the form of events, journals, and decisions
• Plenty of generic events that can happen to any country
• Larger mechanics between countries
• Rebalanced and reworked economy, goods, tech, and AI
• International organizations
• Expansions to most everything already in the mod at this time

The mod is currently updated every two weeks and patch notes can be found on our discord.[discord.gg] Due to the early nature of this mod it is highly likely that each update will be incompatible with prior save games. It is highly recommended to unsubscribe and resubscribe to the mod on the steam workshop each time an update occurs.

Q: What countries should I play as first? What content has been added?
A: During country selection each nation will have a Custom Content banner when selecting it. This will provide an overview of available story content, custom interest groups and if they have a path to a major formable.

Q: Why did my save break?
A: Most of our major updates will change something or the other about the map, and this unfortunately breaks saves. If you would like to continue playing on an older save, download the previous mod version from our GitHub or Paradox Mods.

Q: Is this mod compatible with [x]?
A: No. This is a very wide-reaching total conversion mod that touches on most files in the game. Chances of any mod working with it are slim, barring smaller graphical mods.

Q: Can I help with the mod?
A: Yes! We are always looking for new members on our team. Every single new developer add a lot to our efforts, and even if you don’t know how to code, we are always welcoming new artists, lore writers and others. Please reach out!

Q: Can I base my mod on this or use [x] feature?
A: We could not have created this mod without help from other mods, and wish to pass this sentinent forward. You can use mechanics from our mod to develop your own, and you may even join our discord to get some help with figuring our code out.
