0.5.1 Elyseia - for EU4[1.37] and Vic3[1.7]

EU4 to Vic3 Converter

0.5.1 - Elyseia

This is a mid-version release triggered by adding support for Third Odyssey: Back to the Motherland. Aside for that, we're prepping for a while a whole new Economic system that effectively simulates what vic3 does. This should help with placing a workable existing world economy with less shortages on game start.

Hotfixes

• Thankfully, none.

Coldfixes

• We're now exporting all altered cultures, fixing some rare issues with defaulting to vanilla cultural traits.
• Fix to ensure shogun doesn't survive forced unification of Japan.
• Various corrections and fixes for Decentralized World submod we use for wastelands.
• Fix for iffy portugese trait mappings.
• Fix for losing dominions if overlord is unrecognized.

Enhancements

• Third Odyssey: Back to the Motherland support.
• Option to tweak if Power Blocks are formed and which.
• Enhancements to Europa Expanded mod support - subject types, tags, etc.
• Better fluctuation of colony map colors to differentiate them from overlord once they get free but don't form something.
• Transfer of Liberty Desire is now 1:1 from EU4.
• Huge prep for an economy rework, in effect simulating the Vic3 economic engine to a high degree of fidelity.

Shuffles

• Additions to culture mappings.
• Corrections and fixes to province mappings, tag mappings, law mappings, etc.

0.5 Erzurum - for EU4[1.37] and Vic3[1.7]

EU4 to Vic3 Converter

0.5 - Erzurum

After a ton of work, we managed to get the converter compatible with the massive 1.7 Vic3 update. This cost us quite a bit of custom scripting, but on the upside, games run error-free and seem quite stable. We now have Power Blocs coming from EU4! They mostly involve EU4 GP nations and their vassals - which also dictates the flavor of the bloc like Monarchies into Empires or Theocracies into Religious Leagues - but we'll expand on this in future so even smaller entities (OPMs in trade leagues) can be imported.

Hotfixes

• Thankfully, none.

Coldfixes

• Ensured republics get access to democracy law or else risk being yeeted back to monarchy.
• Compatibility patch for new ImpToCK2 culture groups so these map in a non-broken fashion.
• A fix for buggy Vic3 parsing of names containing ' character when running in debug mode.

Enhancements

• Support for Vic3 v1.7
• Support for EU4 1.37
• Ability to dynamically swap culture group traits when EU4 swaps culture groups on the fly (russian->russian_new etc).
• A stupidly insanely huge name list update by @Iohannes. Some cultures now have RL-sized banks of names available.

Shuffles

• Various cultural and religion mappings ironed out.
• Various country tag mappings and expansions.

0.4 Durres - for EU4[1.36-1.37] and Vic3[1.6]

EU4 to Vic3 Converter

0.4 - Durres

This release features a host of small fixes, general corrections, mapping expansions and finally support for Vic3 1.6.
PSA: If you are running an Imperator: Rome megacapaign to vic3 - contact me (@Zemurin) on the forums and upload entire chain of saves and conversion mods if you can (Imp+CK3+EU4 saves+mods). We are noticing some issues with long-running megacampaign chains and would like to fix them.

Hotfixes

• Fixed CTD due to missing custom emblem no.121. Of which there were supposed to be only 120.
• But no, they added no.121. Why. Why not dump a random unused one and replace THAT one with a reverse crescent?
• Who needs no.25 The Pig anyway? Who makes flags with The Pig?!
• Anyway. It's fixed now.

Coldfixes

• Decentralized countries no longer get to claim anything.
• We no longer generate 0-size pops due to rounding or other errors. This isn't to say there won't be empty states though.

Enhancements

• Support for Vic3 v1.6
• Expanded religious and cultural mappings
• Huge expansions of name pools for various cultures and languages.
• Now we import EU4 flags instead of Vic3 default generated (which are often completely random) ones when no preset Vic3 CoA def is available.

Shuffles

• Updated religious icons
• Added more CK2 religions
• Various script fixes, mapping shuffles and general ironing.

EU4 to Vic3 Converter

EU4 to Vic3 Converter

0.1.1A - Adrianopole

Expansions:

• NEW: Trade Companies into separate entitites/countries. Except in Africa. Except except south africa.
• Devpush population shaping method - Dev push provinces to get more starting pops. Capped at approx +50%. Pops aren't spawned from thin air, they are migrated from elsewhere in the superregion.
• Superregional Extreme population shaping method - use absolute dev of provinces to redistribute entire superregion of people proportionally. 50 dev/province state will get 10x pops of a 5dev/province state. This is useful for flat-dev/MP games.

0.1 Adrianopole - for EU4[1.34] and Vic3[1.1]

EU4 to Vic3 Converter

0.1A - Adrianopole

Having compressed 7 years of EU4toVic2 development into a 3 month long Eu4toVic3 development spree, we now have a nominally functional, if somewhat barebones, converter that produces playable games.
The converter is supporting approximately 90% of EU4toVic2 features, and having some novel tweaks ontop of that.

First release of EU4toVic3 supports:

• EU4 Countries: laws, techs, characters, relations, diplomacy. No wars yet.
• Decentralized World countries: These fill up empty map spaces with decentralized nations.
• Clay: Borders, states/substates - as precise as possible but only Europe and parts of Asia have been hand-ironed.
• Economy: We construct an entirely novel world economy based on Vic3 vanilla measurements. More methods will come later.
• Population: We stick to vanilla state population sizes (for now). Slaves and minorities are transplanted from vanilla, for now.
• Cultures, religions, homelands, claims, releasable nations, formable nations.
• Eurocentrism to shape the world geopolitical state, fully configurable.
• Major mod support: Voltaire's Nightmare - which seamlessly fuses VN map with vanilla 1836 scenario outside it.

Major differences from EU4toVic2 are:

• There are no army/navy conversions as those are not present in Vic3.
• There are no "cultural union" formables as Vic3 has no concept of a cultural group.

Expansion goals for further development:

• Dynamic slave/minority pop generation depending on EU4 circumstances.
• Colonial tags that reflect cultures that formed them (so a british Brazil is very different from portugese Brazil).
• Wars.
• More dynamic formables.
• Population reshuffle according to regional dev centers in EU4.
• More EU4 dev impact on economy.
• And whatever else turns out we need.

Enjoy the conversions!
