Additional Edit. The mod seems to work fine, provided I do not use the included map directory.
EDIT again: It seems that it will load up to the point where you can select your nation without the map directory, but it will not allow me into the actual game without getting rid of the DB directory. Can someone tell me what is going on?I reinstalled EU2 and everything. I'd really like to play this mod.
As far as I can tell, the mod does not run under 1/08 beta's, that may be your problem.
BTW, is it planned to make the mod 1.08b compatible, or not?
Does the +10 revolt risk in Medina and some other provinces you choose to crush the rebels ever go away? If not what if I let them rebel and reconquer them after they declare independence?

I still work on it. Not very often and not much done though. However everyone that wishes may join in and try to do some work.
Try me... the implementation of one province HRE might be a good idea, and don't forget other info (notably ToT) is also coded now.
I've just tried the scenario again. Clean, fresh EU2 install + 1.08, no betas and it works... That is, until you try to save a game. Then it freezes and crashes...
I've been wondering wether the triggers in the fall of the Tolosan kingdom/battle of Vouille event for the Visigoths should be Frankish control of Vendee or Poitou, instead of Guyenne, since Vouille seems to be in Vendee or possibly Poitou. Would make the Visigoths losing their territories in modern France (except Septimania) more likely.
And regarding Theoderik vs Odovakar, if both are ai-controlled, having Ostrogoths needing control of Lombardia and Mantua instead of Romagna might make it more likely seeing Ostrogoths owning Italy, what do you think?
I have made a edited 476 start where military tech levels are closer to their levels in 526, I'm planning to include it in the next download so you can test it and see what you enjoy the most, starting with land/naval levels around 0-1 or around 2-3.

Vouillé is very near of Poitiers; in fact, when i lived there, i remember people always talking about the three "battles of Poitiers", the first one being the battle of Vouillé in 507, the second being the most famous of all, the one of 711 with Charles Martel and Franks vs Muslims, and the third one, located more exactly at Maupertuis, the one of 1356, where the french got defeated by the Black Prince, and the king Jean le Bon was made prisionner by the english - for this one, there's a nice monument in the middle of the actual battlefield.
But again, concerning Vouillé, put it definetely on Poitou.

Its been a while since I played EU II and in the past the Mods I played were EEP, AGCEEP, and Mongol Empire. They all had automatic run icons that allowed me to immediately enter the game. However I don't know how to enter the recent mods. I've heard about moddir, but unfortunately don't know what it is or how to access it. Can someone help?
The 476 download contains a folder named '476' that you need to put in your EU2 folder. The 476 is a "moddir". To run it you need to make a copy of your EU2 shortcut (or make a new one to EU2.exe) and modify it by adding 476 to the command line after EU2.exe. When EU2.exe is run with a folder as an argument it will look for its files in that folder first and only files it doesn't find there will be pulled from the main EU2 folder.Machiavellian said:

I actually couldn't get this to work. I have the 476 folder in my Europa Universalis 2 folder. However when I make the shortcut for the EU2 program I go in to properties in an attempt to change the command/target line.
"C:\Program Files\Strategy First\Europa Universalis 2\EU2.exe.476" - That doesn't work. Neither does "C:\Program Files\Strategy First\Europa Universalis 2\EU2.exe\476"
What am I doing wrong?
No period, no backslash, just a space is needed before the 476.Machiavellian said:
To clarify what jdrou said, it should look like this:
"C:\Program Files\Strategy First\Europa Universalis 2\EU2.exe" 476
"C:\Program Files\Strategy First\Europa Universalis 2\EU2.exe" 476

I've done this, the game begins to load until the "Initializing Graphics" bit and then crashes to desktop. Any idea what would be causing this?
Writing Wraith said:
Same issue here, anyone figured out what is causing this problem? I tried it with the newest beta patch, without the beta patch ( fresh install, with 1.8 ) and I still get the problem. I'm not sure what to do.
I got it to work by not using moddir. I don't know why the moddir crashes. I made a separate installation of EU2, unzipped 476 into that, and copied the 476 subdir into the main dir. Voila!
