I'd really love an option to see the "hidden events". I spent 50 years as Florence, and no development did occur (without any devastation). What are the checks for the event to occur?

Temporary solution for anyone else with the same problem here though. I tried starting a game with PreciousPig's version of this mod, with the same name, getting his initial development, save, exit and then switch to this mod.

Unfortunate casualties by using this approach:
Half of the natives tags die RIP,
Gotland tag dies and the island is in danish hands again (Easy danish day one missions),
and Australia, Aotearoa and the Pacific Islands suffer a mass extinction event

Knowing the native gameplay in this game, I would deem this a major success and nothing was lost in the end! (sry aussies and kiwis)

How far along are you in updating the historical development distribution? It seems like it's not working for me yet and saw that you answered another comment last year that it was underway.

Thank you! :))

also would there be issues with total conversion mods like anbennar?

thank you for the updated version!<3 Quick question do i need a fresh start for this to work?

Everything should be compatible, it's a really lightweight mod. Only problem with it is the performance decreased. And yes, you can skid it, pretty easily.

i love this mod, but after a while this mod just adds to much dev to the provinces, so i would like to edit this mod, to lessen the dev you get, or remove it alltogether, so that only the devastation part of the mod remains. can this be done just by editing some numbers or deleting some parts of the mod? if yes could you help me out?

Thank you!! Was looking for a mod like this that was updated!

is it compatible with development points?

Hey can i take this mod and slap it on converted saves? (from ck2 or 3)

Is there a way to remove everything but the new starting development,as i wanted to use this mod with the development points mod

Updated to 1.37

The mod does work for 1.37, I just didn't really update the version. The only thing you need to do properly to update it is to add the missing modifiers from 1.37.

Any insight for 1.37? I'm planning to release a major hard core overhaul mod (gathering others that tweak colonization and perhaps pops) and would be great if it's updated. Obviously would credit properly

I'll update the mod soon to include back the historical dev. I couldn't do it because I didn't have the right idea on how to do it.

I mean considering idrk how to update the thumbnail myself, not really. Updating this mod is mostly about copy and pasting stuff

do you need any help maintaining or updating this mod? i'd be happy to lend a hand completely for free if u can teach me

genocided

Updated it to 1.36 now

It does, it is just subtle at first, would be hard not to make Ming OP right at the start

It seems to work for me. I use this mod with Victorum Universalis, and I often scorch provinces to create devastation in high-dev provinces and it seems to drastically lower the dev.

hi man it doesnt work

I think it should mostly work for 1.36, it might break some flavor of the countries KoK added, otherwise it works, but i'll fix it soon anyway

Update please 1.36

Does this work for 1.36

It grows with dev, Ming should grow like crazy I think

depopulated areas tend to stay depopulated basically permanently, while certain provs get runaway growth to 200+ dev... also despite having by far the most population throughout the game period, china tends to become a depopulated hellhole...

nevermind it's work

why nothing change in my game

cant colonize in the americas due to grazing devastation dropping every provinces development to 0

Yeah but it still does need balance, depopulating 1000 provinces is a pain, while giving ming thousands of dev would make it OP

Hello, I think growth should also increase in other factors like, good land like MING.

You're right actually, done.

Given that this mod no longer gives Asia absurd dev at the start, can the "empires get 4000 free admin cap" event be removed or made an optional choice? EU4 is already a very blobby game, and it'd be nice if the AI wasn't encouraged to be even more blobby with the 4000 admin cap.

Witcher, yes, I tested, it should work with almost any mod, and Swaitchy, it does not, because it would be a LOT of work to update, and it wouldn't support any mods anymore

does this still modify starting dev? I started it, reinstalled, and manually checked but I still cant find a map edit file and it has no effect.

Does it work with other mods? like ante bellum or Extended Timeline ?

Updated yet again, made devastation devastating, and added a population counter in the decissions

Wheeze, figured how OP this really gets. I'll add a pretty cruel war-time event.

Haven't tampered with any missions, but it does dev every province, but the more dev it has, the faster it is

Hah, that was a super fast update. Looking good now!
How does the mod handle mission that need x dev in a province?

Lobotime, I think it could now that I "updated" the map.

Done.

Alright, bet.

yes, as long as the map gets updated to the current version, I honestly don't care how "accurate" it is in representing real life populations of those provinces at the start date

I could update the map as I do know how, but making it realistic would need too much research. Should I just update it with the dev values of 1444?

yeah, not updating the map is a big meh. It breaks the game as many provinces are not owned by the right country's.
Completely breaks any mod other mod compatibility as well.

will this work with et?
