Welcome to the Aberration Scenario/Mod forum!

What is Aberration?

Aberration aims to create a totally different Eu2 experience in alternate history universe, where some things have gone a bit different. There are none of the classic powers like Spain, France, Austria, England or the Ottoman Empire just to name a few, whilst on the other hand we will use the new tags that were included in the latest beta patch to the fullest and give some of the classic "underdog" nations an oppurtunity to find their own place on the sun. Aberration will be fully suitable for SP as for MP purposes, off course.

So who are the lucky ones? Bavaria, Brittany, Burgundy, Byzantium, Eire, Finnland, Genoa, Granada, Hanseatic League, Hungary, the Kaliphate, Kingdom of Jerusalem, Savoy, Scotland, Teutonic Order and the Union of Kalmar as Great Powers, with numerous leaders, events and monarchs at your command. All those nations are deemed to self-destruct, live in total unimportance in nearly every GC. Most important is to avoid of playing a vanilla power "light" when playing those nations. They should give the player the feeling of playing something brand new.

Also, the colonial scene will have much more live without a disturbing ToT or historical considerations influencing Player´s decisions where to go.

Organization of the Aberration and development team:

Any input is welcome and will be considered. Any input on the Aberration scenario like events/monarchs/leaders to my e-mail address tmittelbach@pharmosan.com with the topic: "Aberration!". This is important, else I will likely delete your e-mail by mistake. Nasty spam here. Now a list of the crew, if you want to help me with events for nations, check in with the ID ranges and get ID ranges and notify me, so I can put you on the Developers list in here and in the Nation coverage thread.

Threads may be opened for any topic related to the Aberration, try to keep specific discussions in the threads for nations if you can find one, off course. Apart from that feel free to discuss stuff.
 
Unzip it into your EU2-Folder.
 
Is there somebody still working/coding on the mod ?

I see some people posting (good) ideas about new events but no scripted events.

So I wonder if there will be another version ?
 
Just in case someone misses it - Aberration is a completed mod with only a few bugfixes but nothing major to come.

However there is an Aberration II project that is working to make it anew. Bigger, Faster, Stronger.. they have the technology.. ;)
So there is still stuff to do around here for those who want to.
 
Just an info: Mymap is compatible with Aberration?
 
Niceta,

We have not really looked into myand the the others for the following two reasons:

1. As far as I can tell, neither maymap nor any of the others is complete. While the various maps continue to be worked on and improved and altered and nerfed, we'll stick with the original.

2. The work involved in converting scenerios and events to a new map is beyond our person resources. I think that we ought to try and get this mod closer to finished before we contemplate changing it all again!

Finally, on a personal note, I am not convinced that the balance of EU2 will be better served by more provinces, even if it makes superior historical sense and improves how the RotW is managed.

That said, I've never played with any of the new maps, because I simply don't have the time. My few EU2 hours are taken up with writing, editing, correcting and posting for Aberration. ;)
