Funciona?

Hi, the mod still works with the current version.

@Dr Gonzo
Is it Compatible with latest patch 3.0?

Is this mod active or is it abandoned?

Hello! is this mod updated to the latest version of the game / latest DLC?

When your meantioning the historical republics you say Pisa Venice and Genoa What about the Hansa if its destroyed or Amalfi , Ragusa , Ancona , Gotland , Noli, Gaeta , Iceland, Muslim Cordoba, Florence, Siena, Switzerland, and Pskov i did some research all of these republics fall in line with the timeline of CK2 keep in mind some arent merchent republics because they are landlocked but they are still Republic governments which you NEVER see in a regular game i hope you take my suggestion and add a good amount of the ones that I added PM me if you need help with history and locations im a big time history buff.

Yes. Seems to be working fine from my tests. Let me know what you think!

Is this mod compatible with Monks DLC?

This is a really great mod. I love how AI now actually creates republics!
Initial testing seems to indicate the rate is good. In 200 years I saw four republics being created, two of which survived past 50 years.

@SnakePower - No I don't think it will be as that uses a different map.

is this compatible with the Game of Thrones mod?

@Zuberon Actually scratch that I think I can add it into this one too. I'll probably update it tomorrow.

@Zuberon I went and did it anyway. The link for the mod is in the description above.

@Zuberon Yeah I've got the code to do that but it would mean altering realm_decisions.txt which would make the mod need more updates and be incompatible with a lot of other mods. I could put it out as separate mod if you want?

You should also make so that some tribal countries try to become merchant republics depending on their focus. Basically tribal AI rulers with business focus would build markets in their tribes and would choose "Form Merchant Republic" once that option opens.

@wsioux10 I can't say 100% as I don't know the CK+ mod all that well, but I think it should be. The mod doesn't edit any vanilla files so unless CK+ is doing something really crazy behind the scenes (e.g. d_venice not existing at all) then it should work fine.

@Dr Gonzo is this ck2+ compatible?

@zlatky - so long as you're not going for achievements you should be good. The mod should definitely be save game compatible.

@ Dr Gonzo: Will do so mate, but not any time soon I'm afraid, due to the fact that I'm in the middle of my current *long* campaign!...Oh, well!... :-/

@zlatky I'd say yes, in theory, but I've never tested. If it works for you please let me know!

Is this mod HIP-compatible?

@Dr Gonzo You can check this pretty easily, in many cases. Click on HaelWulf's name to see his profile, click Games on the right-hand side, and you'll see that he has CK2 with a respectable thousand hours into it. Two seconds, confirmed. It's a nice, easy way to not help pirates, while also not penalising people with legitimate Workshop issues.

Ah well I would rather more people be able to play than worry about people torrenting the base game. I'll leave that to Paradox.

I understand wanting a direct download, as someone who had steam workshop not installing ck2 mods for months.

@Dr Gonzo Ari suspects that Hael torrented CK2 and is trying to get mods for it, since you need to own the game to get mods from the paradox forums or steam workshop.

I'm not sure what you mean Ari.

Don't put outside steam. They just want to torrent it.

@HaelWulf Try this, should hopefully work! https://www.dropbox.com/s/vkls0g81hvwnp0t/Gonzo%20Republics%20Mod.zip?dl=0

@Dr Gonzo Thanks, mod looks great!

@HaelWulf Not right but now but I'll see what I cam sort out.

I hate to be this guy, but do you have a direct download? like a dropbox?

I am gonna check this mod out ;o

lol. I never have this issue in my games. But ive downloaded it just incase this starts to occure xD

Okay, thank you for responding. :)

@logan.monk There's a value in the file defines.lua file TRADE_POST_COST_INC_DIST = 0.003 which is the multiplier that is applied to the cost of building trade posts further away. Increasing that would probably do what you wanted to an extent. I'm not sure whether it would = more player fun though as it could hurt the balance a bit. Either way, I don't really want to do it as part of this mod for now as editing defines.lua would make it much less widely compatible with other mods. If you download Notepad++ you could make the change yourself without much trouble - just don't do it in normal notepad or it will crash the game.

Fantastic. I really enjoy mods that keep the game fresh and constantly renewing.

Thanks for this, merchant republic would almost always go extinct in my games. I know this is not what your mod is for, but do you thinks theres any way to make republics stay more around their area? I often face the annoyance that when I'm trying to make a glorious merchant republic in the adriatic sea, the other merchant lords will put trade posts in tunis, constantinople, or somewhere else random in the meddertrainian.
