Description:
INTRODUCTION

This is a hardcore alternative history mod aiming to change up the setting of Europa Universalis. New starting date, events, nations, ideas, and mechanics is some of the many things that have been changed. Furthermore, this mod is active and will continuously be updated and changed. Changes will occur… and no, it is not perfect nor to everyone’s taste! Thank you for being understanding!

WHAT HAS CHANGED?

Overall
This is a mod aiming to change up the overall feel of the game by slowing down the pace of the expansion and looking inwards. There are a lot of differences from normal “vanilla” Eu4. Don’t expect it to be exactly the same; and yes, there will be a learning curve.
The idea is to make gameplay harder and, as previously mentioned, slowing down expansion. Creating a feeling that you are a part of the world around you not the main character.
You will not always become the strongest nation; you will not always succeed with your plans. This is a mod that is meant to be a challenge, a mod that is trying to immerse you into the feeling of a (alternative) historical realism; you will not be able to conquer all of Europe in 300 years.

Hardcore
This mod might not be enjoyable if you are looking to simply play a casual round of Europa Universalis, or maybe. Everything is, more or less, harder and the world might not always be fair.
One of many examples of how the mod is harder is the “new” separatism mechanic. No longer will newly conquered lands immediately be useful, integration takes time. Their recourses, income and manpower, will take decades until fully utilized.
Furthermore the AI is strong and will sometimes challenge you, and yes just like in regular Europa Universalis the AI will have certain advantages that a human player does not.
It might take some time to get used to this mod even though much still seems to be the same.

Current Focus
Currently the focus has been on the European Continent and North Africa. Meaning that regions outside the previously mentioned areas have not gain much, if any, specialised or custom content for now. With this said, nations outside are still affected by almost all aspects of the changes this mod implements, just not country specific changes. Once again, with this said, there are exceptions even here.
The goal is that, initially, every European country, more or less, will receive its own content.
