Plato's Europa для Europa Universalis IV
Global overhaul with hundreds of features.
"It is easy to conquer the world on horseback. But to dismount and govern? That is the hardest task"
The World is different. Since the fall of Rome, History of this Earth was taking its course similarly to ours, yet still very contrasting. The Karlings established what was known the Holy Roman Empire, the Horse Lord had established the largest Empire the world has ever seen and medieval age was one of religious conflicts. Yet, Al-Andalus did not collapse. Neither Christians nor Muslims took the Holy Land. The throne of England is held by King of Norway. Northern Europe was never christianized and many, many more...
Will you fight to strengthen your faith? Will you try to re-imagine Kingdoms and Empires the way they existed in our History? Or will you pursue more peaceful goals, such as trade, diplomacy and development? The choice is yours...

There is enormous amount of content, but I will try to include here as much as I can:
- New buildings.
- New decisions.
- New institution.
- Customizable start - optional choices that allow you to change starting setting (Form Italy, for example)
- New country flags and colors.
- New sound effects (mostly for religions that didn't have any).
- New province modifiers.
- New cultures.
- Money no longer useless - added dozens of ways of spending it.
- National values.
- New events and changes to existing ones (mostly concerning national values).
- New age with objectives and abilities.
- Changes to existing ages and ideas.
- New governments and reforms.
- New religions, some of which have unique mechanics - pagans have personal deities/cathars have their own church aspects.
- Altered diplomacy - different vassals, allies, historical friends and rivals.
- HRE is significantly larger.
- Extended timeline (end date is 1900.1.1)
- Some other minor stuff I most likely forgot about
Separate mention deserves the Anti-Blobbing feature, which is detailed more in screenshots. Basically, the more provinces you own - the more severe penalties you face, such as increasing unrest and state maintenance. Good luck forming Roman Empire!
Also, if I provided a COMPLETE list of all features and changes, that would rob you, the user, of joy of exploring and learning what this mod offers. Trust me - it's big.
This mod also replaces all the loading tips with ones that explain more about the stuff that's going on in my mod or just good quotes I found interesting to read while the game loads. Aesthetic replacements include different country flags, colors, names (Norway is Norge; Finland is Suomia) and loadingscreens. I wanted to make the player sure from the very moment he launches the game that this is a global overhaul (like some oldschool addons for games).
I've worked on this mod for months and most likely will keep updating it with content and potential bug fixes. While I do not require any technical help (I did and always will make mods on my own) or donations (I dislike mod makers who do), I do however appreciate feedback and ideas about what should/should not be added in the future. What countries you would love to see, what new governments or gameplay tweaks - I will listen to community and take their opinions into account. Comments that blatantly insult me or my work will be deleted and posters will be banned, however.
Thank you.
