Aberration 4 Kasperus

Aberration for Kasperus (A4K)

I am honoured to present to you one of the best mods for Europa Universalis 2: Aberration - brought to you on a new map. A map you all know well, and many of you love to use: World According To Kasperus, or WATK.


To play A4K, you'll need the following things:
-> Vanilla EU2 patched to version 1.09
-> Kasperus' WATK 3.1 map, downloadable here
-> The .rar file from the given link

Instructions:
-> Install the WATK map
-> Unpack the .rar archive to EU2 main folder
-> The mod can be run using the abe.bat file - just like the original Aberration mod


The mod features the world of Aberration, which takes place in an alternate universe if things had gone a bit different. The normal Great Powers you encounter in the vanilla Eu2 haven´t had the same luck as in normal history. Also all medium and major powers have leaders, events for the whole timeline of 1419-1819. Also, colonial events are much more flexible. There is no Treaty of Tordesillas, no "historical" expansion for powers in Europe or the rest of the World - you shape history yourself. This Scenario is designed for Single Player as well as for Multiplayer purposes. The A4K Team has adapted the original Aberration scenario to a much more enjoyable map created by Kasperus.

The mod is in constant development and may, of course, contain some bugs - it is, as of today (25.12.07) a 0.80 version. If you encounter any bugs, CtD, problems, or have any suggestions that you wish to share with the authors of the mod, please, post them in this thread.

You must also know that A4K isn't just a copy of the original Aberration idea - we are currently reworking many of the countries' events, leaders and monarchs, with a goal to make as many nations both challenging and interesting to play. The plans for the nearest future contain a complete alteration of the 'history' for Bulgaria, Serbia, Georgia, Poland, Bohemia and the Hussites, a new, reemerging Timurid Empire, and Halych-Volhynia.

here we go... :D

i got dozens errors "failed attempt ... creating a leader ... already used"

there is a error "couldn't open 'monarchs.paj'." i guess its difficult to open a file that doesn't exist. :D

the same with 'monarchs.kas" and "HugeEvents.txt"

Perhaps because you haven't obeyed the installation instructions. The ones that I have forgotten to post. :D :eek:o :eek:o
Edit: corrected now. It should work alright, as even today I needed to reinstall (due to some weird error caused by some newly tested events) the mod, and everything worked well once I did.

So please, stop posting new problems, reinstall, following carefully the instructions, and try the mod :D.

A new version of A4K is to be released on the nearest Christmas Eve - as a Christmas gift for the gamers' society :). It will contain many new events, especially for such countries as:

-Bulgaria
-Bohemia
-Poland
-Silesia
-Georgia.


Please, if you download and play the mod, post some feedback here - some opinion on gameplay, balance and all such stuff.

Well, it's Christmas eve ... still only version 25 XI is up!

Looking forward to that present you promised! :D
 
On Christmas Eve I was cut away from Internet access, so I couldn't upload the new version yet. It will be up within the next few minutes ;).
Merry Christmas, people!
 
Nope, it's Boxing day and it still isn't there. :eek:
 
I was using your signature, not checking the first post. Your signature still connects to 0.75.

Thankjs for the latest version.
 
My bad again, eh? ;) Huge thanks for pointing that out to me. Corrected now. Soon(ish, so, like, within a week) a 0.81 is going to be out - we've been addressing issues connected with the current release. :) Sorry for the inconveniences...

Matty, would you be so kind as to tell me what you think about A4K? How balanced (in your opinion, of course) it is, how stable, and so on? We would be grateful for some feedback :).
 
An 0.81 patch has been released today, addressing small gameplay issues. A link to it is displayed in the original post of this thread, right below the 0.80 download link :).
