Description:

A total overhaul for EU4, this mod seeks to represent the modern United States in a very fractured state.

Provinces are the individual counties (or equivalents) within states where possible; and whose development, cultures, religions, tree cover, etc are based on real-world data. The guiding philosophy for this mod was to make it as accurate of a depiction of the modern US as possible, while retaining vanilla mechanics and balance.

There are two possible game modes to choose from. In the first, the US is subdivided into 624 smaller nations, with provinces/counties with very low populations being uncolonized at game start. In the second, the world map is broken up into the 50 states as they exist today, plus DC.

To give a sense of how this mod plays, forming the USA is around the same level of effort as a vanilla world conquest, forming large regional tags like Dixieland or Great Plains are around the same effort level as forming the Roman Empire in vanilla, and forming large states like Texas or New York and smaller regional tags like New England are around the same level of effort as forming vanilla Germany, Italy, or Persia.

=====================

"With EU5 now out, what is the future of this mod?"

The current plan, as of today, is to continue adding additional content and managing bugfixes for A House Divided on EU4 for at least the next several months. We have two regional expansions planned: One for the Southeast/Appalachia, and one for The Midwest/Rockies.

We are watching the reception of EU5 and plan to switch over when the majority of the playerbase has moved over. Once we made this decision, we will continue to support bugfixes on EU4’s A House Divided while there is continued interest, and begin developing a new mod on EU5.

In the meantime, please continue to report bugs or make additional suggestions for EU4’s version of A House Divided!
