No, it works fine for me.

Maybe you need to reinstall...

Went with a clean reinstall, it´s actually quite funny if it works for everyone, but not me.:D

EDIT: Works on my laptop, seems my normal CPU is broken.

Another new version will be up today, hope we´re not changing it too fast, maybe I should only make weekly versions..

I reckon weekly is probably fine.
 
Just as an idea... since we're operating on the assumption that European history has gone vastly differently than it historically did...

Why not put in Vinland as a viable state in the Newfoundland/Labrador/Isle Royale region? We could still keep most of North America open to colonization by withhoulding any chance of explorers or conquistadors until the Europeans have a chance to get there, and limiting their map knowledge to those limited areas and Greenland and Europe....

Another oddball one - once we get to the rest of the world - what of the possibility of the Chinese having sailed north or east instead of south? (Discovering Siberia or Hawaii, perhaps? Or even the Aleutians?) Might be too disruptive to let them access the American mainland, though....

P.S. I'm currently playing my second Aberration game, this time as Granada; having taken and converted up to Gascogne and Rousillon by 1600 (and Corsica; I lost Tangiers to Genoa early and when I took it back, I really pounded them and they offered Tangiers and Corsica, so I took it), I'm now faced with a 3-province Bourbonnais, a huge Burgundy (which controls, among other things, about 50% of Gaul), a 7-priovince Savoy (having taken Provence, Lyonnais, Dauphine and Helvetia) and a vassal Morocco as my only borders. And I've just seized five new Christian provinces to convert - Poitou, Languedoc, Guyenne, Auvergne and Cevennes. My only comment so far - seeing that the Granada events are still being worked on - is that a lot of the new "fantasy" revolters - and indeed some of the older ones too - have very early shutoff dates, so the number of vassals I *could* release is now very limited. And I was so looking forward to releasing and restarting as a Muslim state in southwestern Gaul...

In fact, I'm half tempted to ask for a tag for a Muslim emirate of Gaul (or something along those lines) - except for the fact that I don't see a way to force the game to permit it to exist only if the provinces it revolts in are already Muslim.

Yeah, a muslim french emirate is an idea, but an odd one, I doubt that Granada had the strength to conquer Southern France, regardless how far we go.

Considering RotW Aberration ideas, as soon as Europe is finished we can think about RotW Aberrations..
 
As a possible revolter, or perhaps as an event-released vassal of Granada, if they should own let's say six or more provinces beyond the Pyrennes (beginning with Rousillion and Bearn) - basically saying to the regional governor of a conquered southwestern Gaul 'we've reached the edge of what we can handle, so here, be independent and see what you can do'.
 
Problem is we need a new tag for that.

By the way big new version up tonight.
 
I post a image of my current Aberration game. I think it looks fine (I'm Byzantium, as you can see, I decided to play rather conservative and not conquer everything in sight, although I guess my BB is very low).

Looks nice, though Savoy have disappeared.:)

Hansa has prevailed against the Kalmar Union.
And how is it in the colonies? I see a CoT in Itaimas.

Savoy diplo-annexed (it was rather fine before).
The Kalmar Union was defeated by Finland, not the Hansa as far as I remember.
Byz still don't know the colonies -maybe I will need to sack some country to get the maps :) But I guess Itaimas COT should be fine (COT in Ulster went from 350 to around 125 when some colonial COT appeared, so not bad if Itaimas got that trade and probably expanded afterwards).
 
Thought about including:

Celtic Bagpipes - Scotland the Brave as 15th century Music.:D

Mp or normal ? :eek:
 
HEY...
that looks wicked :)
Awesome to see Finland and Ukraine conquering most of the G.H.'s territory between them...
 
New version up.
 
Question/Comment: I can't help but notice that the aberration has very few colony names defined. Does the moddir setup check the default colonynames.csv file for countries that have no colonies in the 'Abe' colonynames.csv?

Cheers.

PS: Can't wait until you guys do leaders, events, etc. for more countries. I'm itching to play Scotland and start exporting curling, golf and haggis to the rest of the world.
 
Aye, only Finnland has colonynames so far, we are working on that.
 
While I'm on the topic of colonization -- I'm wondering if it wouldn't be a good idea to increase the number of annual colonists orthodox and sunni nations get. Given that at least three non-catholic/reformed nations (finland, ukraine, granada) are likely to be significant colonizers, I don't see why not. With a stronger position in europe, who's to say that these faiths wouldn't be more expansionistic in the alternate world of Aberration?

Just a thought. Cheers.

Scotland is actually as finished as it can be.;)
