Just Spices
Just Spices expands the amount of spice system by splitting the broad vanilla spice categories into a larger number. I think trading stuff is fun, so why not have more stuff to trade?
- 7 new RGOs: Vanilla, Cinnamon, Nutmeg, Cardamom, Turmeric, Ginger and Star Anise.
- 2 Advances.
- 5 new buildings, including Coffeehouses, Chocolate Houses and Taverns.
- 51 new Dynamic Historical Events involving spices for Portugal, Spain, Great Britain, The Low Countries and France.
- 18 new random events for the random event pool.
- Adds plantations for Chili, Cocoa and Vanilla.
- Adds a new type of colonial building: the Colonial Estate. Available from techs in Age of Reformation, this building is a slave-free way to get locals to farm colonial goods through persuading them to focus on cash crops. It is less profitable than plantations, costs many more workers to operate and can’t be build in locations with plantations, but is available for most colonial trade goods: Cardamom, Chili, Cinnamon, Cloves, Cocoa, Coffee, Cotton, Ginger, Nutmeg, Pepper, Saffron, Star Anise, Sugar, Tea, Tobacco, Turmeric and Vanilla.
Just Spices does not overwrite any vanilla files.
All spices except for vanilla have full integration with the Columbian Exchange. But, due to the limited overwrites rule, the goods won’t show up in the overview window of the situation. This is a very minor visual issue only.
Note: Vanilla can’t be spread in the Columbian Exchange. This isn’t a bug, but a deliberate decision due to historical reasons.
This mod changes the checksum and is intended to be used with a fresh save. Trade Goods may require a few months in-game to balance out due to the limited vanilla changes.
Just Trade Goods is a series of modular mods that aims to expand the Europa Universalis 5 trade goods system as much as it can by pulling apart the vanilla abstractions, while at the same time overwriting as few vanilla files as possible in the process. You can add as many or as few of them as you want, in any combination, to your game.
