And much more!####################################################
Map Setup:
The Atlas Novum Map is originally based on the Typus Projection and incorporates many elements from our partners at the Beyond Typus Mod. Moreover, we have multiple starts
- 11/11 – "Standard"
- 11/12 – "Expanded" – additional nations
- 11/13 – "Masochist" – maximum amount of nations for maximum pain and PC temp
- 11/14 – "Plus Ultra" – Consolidated nations, which helps to mitigate performance issues, improve MPs

Known Issues:
This is a very large mod. EU4’s optimization has improved, but is still not ideal. This has been known to kill older computers that run on potatoes. This comes down to the # of tags in your game, which you may use the multiple starts and in-game options to modify.
The first few years of the game will almost always be a crawl. It is all of the AIs signing treaties and alliances and rivaling. Once you get a few years into the game the speed ought to pick up considerably.
You MUST compress your saves.
It is HIGHLY recommended you play with an SSD, and NOT a HDD.
- Advancing the start date past 11/15/1444 will sometimes crash your game. Many of the later starts are not properly supported.
- Some mission trees are not fully implemented and they might be impossible to complete. We are working on this right now.
- This is all *hot code* and subject to savegame destruction as we fix things, and add new content for you to enjoy. Run into a bug or have a cool idea? Please let us know.
