Moddable end dates

[Cheexsta]

Hey guys,

So, the beta patch apparently softcodes the end date of the game. This is an amazing addition! But it has me thinking: what, specifically, do modders intend on doing with this capability?

Mods stretching into the Principate, or into the Dark Ages...it's an exciting possibility. I could see this almost becoming the norm for mods.

Thoughts?

There should definitely be a Dark Ages mod, especially as 'The Dark Years' (for EU3) is dead.

Also, something about the fall of the Roman Empire (like the visigoth/ostrogoth invasions and sacking of Rome) would be nice.

Indeed the changeable end date works! I love thus since my game are usually planed for the long run and went into the old end date.

I will extend definitively Magna Terra to 476 AD. Magna Terra is screaming out for Trajan's plans And I WILL create Jesus. So full of epic win.

After that, I'll have to see how the game is performance-wise due to all the new flags.
I would LOVE to cover all the Dark Ages as currently there is no (1, 2?) dark ages game, no love to the "countries" of the period game-wise. Also, I'll have to learn the history of Asia (and Europe) while doing that, and I have learned so much because of modding. I had no idea before of the warring states in China, etc, and I'm pretty sure Asia offers some messed up (=funny to play) stuff during the dark ages.

On the Jesus thing, will he stay in the Judea-Palestine region or perhaps travel to India as a couple tales/legends suggest?

Would be cool to see some of the Apostles also travel. Perhaps setting one of them as governor, making him rebel and establish a nation?

I'm just going to extend it and play Judea's survival for as long as possible.

This is simply awesome! Since the summer I have been working on a mod that focuses on the time after 3rd century crisis, the time of barbarian and muslim invasions and all cool stuff. I had already worked it out by using those AVC dates as AD but this might allow to play from the beginning of Roman Empire until the destruction of it

Agreed this is a massive feature for the future survivability of EUR.

I have already begun the process of rolling forward the history files, creating the Principate government and the Julii-Claudians.

I conquered Parthia as Judea! Hopping over Nabatea and balancing when to stop paying Rome tribute....
