Omni-directional Rivers
This mod completely removes the difference in proximity reduction from the direction of the river. They are both now set to 30.
It doesn’t make sense that the direction of the river has any effect on the proximity because for communication between the location and the capital, messengers will need to travel in both directions. I have chosen to keep the number at 30 because larger waterways were used like railways are now, so much trade flowed through them and there were really important, so I feel it makes sense for them to be kept comparable to the modern roads and not simple paved roads. Ideally I’d also add something to upgrade the rivers to proper canals and lower basic rivers to 20 or 25 but right now as this is my first EU5 mod this will do.
This means capitals should be placed at the sources of rivers which just isn’t historically supported with many being at the end of a river, so this change should also benefit a lot of the ai nations who don’t change their historic capitals.
There are other mods that do similar things but none of them set both up and down stream to 30, either picking a lower shared number or bringing the two numbers closer.
This mod shouldn’t have any unless they also change the proximity from rivers.
