Council of Fifty
A mod for Victoria 3 exploring the history of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (Mormons).
Have you ever wanted to see Joseph Smith succeed in his campaign to become President of the United States of America? What if Brigham Young could somehow become the polygamist king of Mexico? Or do you just want to see Mormonism spreading across the world? You can do that and much more with this Mormon mod.
You will have the option of supporting or opposing the fledgling Church. Will you crush the Restoration in its infancy? Or will you work to see that Mormons are influential in domestic, and eventually global, politics? Be careful, Mormons may grow restless and seek to establish their own country.
- New laws governing marriage: Polygamy, Monogamy, and Free Love
- Unique Ideologies and Leader Ideologies, including support and opposition to the new marriage laws
- Two Journal Entries, one exploring the Church under Joseph Smith (East) and another under Brigham Young (West)
- Over thirty Mormon-themed events, even some available to countries without the Mormon Journal Entries
- Mormon Religion and Culture, with unique taboos (Word of Wisdom) that mean that Mormons have an economic impact on your game
- An Adopt Mormonism Decision that allows you to change any country with sufficient Mormon pops to have Mormonism as the official state religion
- Historical and procedurally generated Mormon characters, with names drawn from prominent Mormons of the past and present
- Totally historical Mormon "Secret Weapon"
- Improved rules and a new Diplomatic Play involving Deseret.
- And much more Flavor
This mod is not meant to attack, disparage, or venerate any person living or dead. Although some of the content in this mod describes or references real events, other events are complete fabrication.
The mod author does not take any position on the truth or falsehood of any claims historical or theological made by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints or any other organization.
This mod uses "Mormon" and "Mormonism" as names for the Church because those words are more commonly known and period appropriate than the official long name of the Church and its members. Also, some of the content in this mod applies equally well to other related churches with different names as it covers the time before Brigham Young led the Saints to Utah. The use of "Mormon" is not intended to be pejorative, except in a few cases in the text of events where it is assumed or expected that they player has adopted a position that is against the Church. The goal is to give the player the freedom to roleplay opposition or support for the Church freely.
Most other mods that do not try to change or add Mormonism as a religion, or override the default interest groups, or replace all religions, should be compatible with this mod. This mod mostly provides events, and it implements the consequences of those events using existing, vanilla systems.
Also included is support for Hail Columbia, although the gameplay, especially surrounding Deseret, will be substantially different. In particular, with HC installed it will almost certainly be the case that only the USA, not Mexico, will see Deseret form. This means that with HC, it is no longer possible to have Brigham Young become the ruler of Mexico.
