The Desolation of Europe is a mod that aims to recreate the events of the Thirty Years War in Hearts of Iron IV. The mod begins on January 1st, 1615 and currently has content to 1625 for nations on the select screen. The aim is for an eventual 1648 end date. The mod revolves around Europe’s affairs and models the basic stages of the war, assuming historical paths are played, but also includes very interesting pieces of history in Asia and the Americas, albeit them not being the forefront focus.

Note: Whilst it is impossible to fully recreate the Early Modern Era inside of Hoi4, (and EUIV/EUV exists) I have made this for fun. This is a solo project I have worked on with no outside help and this is also the first Hoi4 mod I have ever made, so expect randomly released updates, and please do point out any bugs.

I have created the mod with ALL DLC enabled EXCLUDING Trial of Allegiance, Gotterdammerung and Graveyard of Empires. Please disable the three if you have them. Some other dlc may or may not be vital, but try at your own peril.

– 1615 Start Date
– The Bohemian Revolt and Palatinate Campaign
– Colonisation System (Based heavily upon the ‘Empire’ mod)
– Theocratic Ideology
– Religion System
– Reformed Government Laws
– Privy Council
– Hundreds of contemporary national leaders, military leaders, advisers and characters
– Minor content for Asia, Eastern Europe and the Americas

– France, ( to 1627 )
– England, ( to 1625 )
– Sweden, ( to 1626 )
– Denmark-Norway, ( to 1625 )
– The Netherlands, ( to 1625 )
– Spain, ( to 1621 )
– Bavaria, ( to 1621 )
– Bohemia, ( to 1620 )
– Austria ( to 1620 )

(I would personally recommend France)

– French Path to topple the Edict of Nantes and become fully Catholic/Huguenot
– English Path to create a constitutional monarchy and contain the king with Parliament
– Bohemian Path to convince John George I of Saxony to take the Bohemian Crown
– Bavarian Path to usurp the title of Holy Roman Emperor from Habsburg Austria
– Dutch Path to sway opinion against the House of Orange for Johan van Oldenbarnevelt
– Spanish path to unite a Kingdom of Iberia

As briefly stated, the goal for this mod is to last to 1648. Updates will be in phases, vaguely 1615-1625, 1625-1635 and 1635-1648. Europe is the main focus for the mod, revolving around its war, but the rest of the world will not be forgotten, such as adding certain items including but not limited to:

– The Ottoman Peak
– Qing Conquest of China
– Vietnamese Civil War
– Stabilisation of Romanov Russia
– Oirat khanates emerging
– Savafid wars
– The Mali rump states and Moroccan influence
– Wars in Abyssinia and the Sudan
– 1627 Mughal Succession War
– Tokugawa Establishment
– First Nation content in the Americas
– Colonial focus trees
– More geography ( Lake Tulare, Mediterranean Islands, South Pacific, etc)

And a great deal of polish!

What if my game has a bug/crashes?

Please make a comment on the mod page or under the ‘bugs’ discussion category.

When will there be content for (random country)?

I can’t say exactly, as it is me working on whatever nation.

Will there be a separate map pre-set?

Possibly, but I plan to edit the map more so that would come in the future.

Does the mod work with other mods?

It should work with most minor mods, such as Player-led-peace-conferences, state transfer tool, most style mods, but probably not with any major mods, try at your own risk.

Thank you to Paradox Interactive & Paradox Development Studio for the base game of Hearts of Iron 4. None of the music in this mod is owned by me.
