JE: Great Powers will Disintegrate
Have you ever wondered why only the Qing Empire can disintegrate in the game? Historically, Austria and the Ottoman Empire also disintegrated. Why are they doing so well in the game?
Therefore, this mod adds a disintegration JE for the great powers in the vanilla game – Spain, the United Kingdom, France, the United States (including the Confederate States of America), the Ottoman Empire, Russia, Prussia, Austria, and Germany (including North Germany, South Germany, and Greater Germany).
Precautions Before Use
- The JE is set for AI (which will reduce the game difficulty to some extent), although players can also enable it in the game rules. Therefore, there is no event provided for players to choose to switch tags after disintegration (like the Qing Empire).
- Due to code limitations, it is not possible to automatically release tags accurately, so the state of each released country is set manually by me. Considering that AI does not expand indiscriminately, the JE will only release the states that were vanillaly possessed at the start of the game. For example, if Austria have eaten some states in Russia, that states would still belong to Austria when disintegration happend.
- The countries generated by disintegration and the allocated state are primarily based on practicality, followed by historical considerations (referencing post-World War I and modern maps). For example, there is no need to subdivide the vast Siberian state, and some insignificant small state plots are merged.
- The description of the JE is just for flavor, to make it look less ugly, and has no actual significance.
- No new tags are crated, to avoid conflicts with other mods. Disintegrated countries are all vanilla ones.
- After disintegration, all vassals will be released, but the power bloc will be retained.
- Need to start new game, BUT you can unsubscribe this mod through mid save.
JE Introduction
- The JE progress bar is 5 for some countries, 6 or 7 for others, and 10 for Russia ( Because the progress bar are so high for Russia at the origin time ). When the progress bar reaches 100%, the country will trigger disintegration. The methods to advance or retreat (each time by 1 point) the progress bar are mostly one-time, see the game JE introduction for details. The only repeatable triggers are victories or defeats in war; continuously forcing them to surrender more than 7 times will definitely lead to disintegration (at least 35 years).
BUT It is difficult to break them apart in actual games because of their progress bar can be negative, they need to be defeated more times in the later stages. - Different countries will have additional factors affecting the progress bar based on the vanilla JE and historical scenarios, such as the United Kingdom completing the Opium War JE which will retreat the progress bar by 1 point, losing the East India Company will increase it by 1 point. However, I have not played all the above countries, so there will definitely be omissions in this regard.
Compatibility
It’s just a JE, so there should be no compatibility issues. If some mods slightly modify the state, such as VTM, then the effect after disintegration will be somewhat different.
