Project Gorgeous – Kaiserreich Submod
Project Gorgeous – Kaiserreich Submod
Tired of nonsense and dull regional borders? Borders often make no sense and feel like they’re entirely artificial? Some borders look straight up horrible? Minor bugs and errors irk your mind while playing the Kaiserreich? This mod is for you! Presenting you a new Kaiserreich submod – Project Gorgeous. Main goal would be reworking states borders, fixing inconsistencies, bugs, adding minor cosmetic and miscellaneous content.
Anniversary hotfix is out, fixing bugs and errors on our end and adding a color picker to Russia! This compatch is save-compatible.
States changes
- Reworked Ukrainian-Russian border states and consequent Treaty of Moscow Borders. Ukraine now gets borders that align more accurately with ethnic boundaries.
- Added Sedan and Nancy states, that Germany can claim and take after 2nd WK. Hoorah, 2017 Meuse-Moselle borders are back!
- Retconned Transylvanian borders and events connected to their fate. Now you can split Transylvania either by administrative or ethnic boundaries.
- Changed Polish Border Strip regions to be more in line with actual German plans for Border Strip in 1917-1918.
- Changed Posen and West Prussia for better borders in the region. Split Deutsch-Krone off of West Prussia in order to be able to partition the province ethnically.
- Changed Commune of France states along Loire for post-WK split a-la Kalterkrieg, also reshaped Romandie.
- Added back Sudetenland, ability for Germany to separate it from the rest of Czechia, and subsequently core upon 50% compliance.
- Split Dzungaria for better potential Mongolian and East Turkestani borders upon realizing their claims. Reworked Alxa and Ningxia for accurate Inner Mongolian borders.
- Reworked US Southwest states, so that Mexico actually gets back its 1847 borders upon Reconquista.
- Changed some states in the Middle East, notably Iranian Kurdistan area and Transcaucasia. You can now create Greater Armenia.
- Changed Libya borders on the grounds of historical accuracy (KR claims it reverted back to the old borders because it’s "de jure").
- Added two more states in Bessarabia – Khotyn and Budjak. You can now split Bessarabia between Romania and Ukraine.
- Added Chameria and Debar in the Balkans. Hurrah, Greater Albania is properly possible!
- Added states in Brazil to be able to recreate pre-Acre cession borders as well as proper pre-treaty Brazilian-Colombian borders. Split Jujuy into Jujuy and Salta for proper Bolivian claims. Viva Bolivia!
- Added 50+ victory points, ergo, cities to Europe. More coming!
Content additions
- "Concluded" Ukraine LUN path, reworked some foci, added ending event, fixed inconsistencies as to what territories LUN could integrate compared to other Ukraine paths. Added new flag option for LUN – Golden Trident (Historical flag of LUN analogue IRL)
- Added some content to Ottomans regarding Jabal Shammar post-Desert War. Ottoman Federation can now annex and integrate Jabal Shammar. Fixed focuses inconsistencies, added missing icons for focuses, added two new focuses regarding Arabia’s fate.
- Miscellaneous additions to Yunnan, Zhili Clique, Fengtian Clique, Mongolia, Tibet and Sichuan Clique. Mostly additional effects for focuses, corresponding event changes regarding changed states, and so on. Manchu Qing gets a new sub-branch! Zhili China can be set on a path to democracy…
- USA now gets ACC’s Democratic and Republican branches.
- End the Dual Rule now has content regarding Czechia and Croatia. Constitutent states released from Austria collapsing will correspond with the path Germany takes. This also means that Hungary and Croatia will have elections if Germany is democratic.
- German East Asia now collapses in a somewhat similar manner to Mittelafrika after Germany falls.
- Vaclau Laustouski now dies before game’s end and has a successor.
And that is not a complete list. Also, more is planned to come, specifically some Germany changes…
Cosmetic and Localization changes
- Added missing descriptions for Ukraine leaders.
- Fixed some German localization.
- Germany received color-picker that allows player to choose between two country colors. Additionally, wartime and Bauer cosmetic tags were altered to be derivative from whatever country color player has chosen at the moment. They would receive corresponding darker tones of chosen color.
- Commune of France also received color-picker that allows player to choose between two country colors. Cosmetic tags that change France’s flags are accounted for too.
- Russian State also received color-picker for whether you want normal green or dark green. This only applies to base Russian State.
- LUN Ukraine color changed from teal to dark-blue.
Future plans
- Significant expansion for LUN Ukraine, plans for Russo-German ceasefire like in KRG mod lore.
- Austrian failure in defeating Hungary might result in stronger consequences for Austria. Similar to military occupation branch, but not the same necessarily.
- Further changes to states all around the world.
- Changes to redundant/making no sense content in minor/unreworked nations.
- Properly functioning color picker for post-unification SRI. (Currently we have a color picker for post-unification SRI but it doesn’t account for the different cosmetic tags that post-unification SRI can obtain)
- Optional cosmetic tag for the Eurasianists.
- Being able to choose puppet names for puppet Great Britain/England, France, and Germany.
- More victory points for Russia.
Compatibility and bugs
Kaiserreich-only submod, don’t launch it with anything else or it will crash the game altogether!
Report any bugs, crashes and so on to the discussion thread below.
- KR 1.6.3
- HOI4 1.18.*
- Kaiserreich Tech Extension, Naval Rework and various graphic mods should run without any serious bugs and artifacts. This mod doesn’t touch tech trees and actual textures/graphics in any way. We’re only changing the fabric of the mod itself, like map and focuses/events etc.
